Lottoland Hackathon 2019 — Alexa Lottery Experience

During the annual Hackathon, I collaborated with developers, Product Owners, Marketing, and BI to explore new product ideas and build a functional prototype. We focused on connecting Lottoland with Alexa and translating lottery use cases into a simple conversational experience.

Problem statement

  • Identify which lottery tasks could work clearly through voice.
  • Define what an anonymous user could do and what required a linked Lottoland account.
  • Prototype a conversational flow around the player actions with the strongest value.

Conclusions

What the prototype established

The hackathon produced a working voice prototype and a clearer distinction between anonymous and account-linked use. It showed how a player might check results, use saved numbers and repeat familiar actions through Alexa. Further validation would be needed before treating the concept as a production feature.
