The beginningFirst Street Mobil · June 2023

Before ConvenienceCast had a name.

The owner of First Street Mobil asked James Diaz whether he could create a digital scratch-off ticket display for the store. James built a custom 40-ticket system that ran locally in Chrome.

That one-store solution became the idea that eventually grew into LottoCast and ConvenienceCast.
