UK store owners win along with their customers
NATIONAL Lottery operator Allwyn has delivered an early Christmas gift of £127k to 20 UK retailers as part of its ‘Share the Win’ initiative.
Awarded to retailers across the UK, the scheme is designed to “multiply the joy” of winning on The National Lottery by sharing it with the retailers who make those winning moments possible.
It rewards retailers who sell high-tier winning tickers or Scratchcards worth £50,000 or more – provided the lucky player agrees to publicity.
The three ‘Share the Win’ prize tiers for retailers include:
• Gold tier – wins of £1m or more will net lucky retailers the top prize of £10,000.
• Silver tier – wins of between £250,000 up to £1m will be worth £5,000 to shop owners.
• Bronze tier – wins of between £50,000 up to £250,000 will see retailers pocket £2,000.
In this latest wave, nine retailers hit Gold, with five picking up a Silver tier prize with a further six receiving a Bronze tier prize.
Of these 20, Greens of Fraserburgh secured a Silver tier £5,000 reward whilst Glens Convenience Store in Dundee picked up a Bronze £2,000.
Alison Acquaye-Acford, Allwyn’s retail revenue & customer director, said: “Congratulations to all our incredible ‘Share the Win’ winners! This initiative is all about recognising the vital role retailers play in creating life-changing moments for players.
“By rewarding retailers alongside their lucky customers, we’re bringing a fresh dimension to selling National Lottery tickets and multiplying that winning feeling – helping spread positivity in communities across the UK, while continuing to raise around £32 million every week for Good Causes.”
