France lottery operator FDJ announces acquisition of Irish Lottery

There will be a new operator for the Irish Lottery, and Allwyn won't be it. Frenche des Jeux is outdoing the international lottery operator that recently seized control of the UK's National Lottery. The French company disclosed the signing of an agreement for the acquisition of Premier Lotteries Ireland at the presentation of its financial health report for the first half of the year. The entire capital of the business, worth US$384.26 million, will be acquired by FDJ.
