According to its website, it handles lottery games in more than 50 countries.

Brookfield said the deal for the lottery business will be funded with about $2.6 billion of equity, of which 30% will be raised through existing funds and the rest from its institutional partners.

Last month, Reuters reported that Scientific Games is also seeking to list its predominantly North American and European lotteries unit in Australia in a $5 billion IPO.

The company had in September also sold its sports betting business OpenBet to Endeavor Group Holdings Inc, the owner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship for $1.2 billion in cash and stock.
