With privatization talks on the sidelines after the Dec. 31
expiration date for a private management agreement with Camelot Global LLC, the
Pennsylvania Lottery is moving forward with a new executive director, Silvan (Sil)
Lutkewitte III.
Lutkewitte, an entrepreneur with experience in business
finance and building strategic partnerships, was appointed by state Revenue
Secretary Dan Meuser.
Lutkewitte begins the job today.
"Sil brings broad experience in business growth, retail
operations and contract negotiation to this leadership role, as well as a deep
understanding of the legislative and regulatory processes that govern the
lottery," Meuser said. "We welcome Sil to the helm of the lottery,
particularly as we begin to write the next chapter in lottery growth."
Lutkewitte, 50, of Hershey, most recently served as the
chairman of the Pennsylvania Independent Regulatory Review Commission, of which
he has been a member since he was appointed in 2009.
For more than 20 years, Lutkewitte worked in various
capacities in the gas station and convenience store business, most recently as
a manager with Lehigh Gas. Lehigh Gas has more than 250 locations in
Pennsylvania, 57 of which are licensed lottery retailers.
