(1) Contract liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.


The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on our consolidated balance sheets. Other than contracts with customers with financing arrangements exceeding 12 months, revenue recognition is generally proximal to conversion to cash, except for Lottery instant products sold under POS contracts. Revenue is recognized for such contracts upon delivery to our customers, while conversion to cash is based on the retail sale of the underlying ticket to end consumers. As a result, for such contracts revenue recognition under ASC 606 does not approximate conversion to cash. Total revenue recognized under such contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $20 million and $69 million, respectively, and was $26 million and $84 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The following table summarizes our receivables and contract asset balances for the periods indicated:

(1) Contract assets are included primarily within Prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2019, we did not have material unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be long-term or contracts for which we recognize revenue at an amount other than for which we have the right to invoice for goods or services delivered or performed.
