National Lottery operator, Allwyn, has awarded 20 independent retailers a total of £127,000 in prizes through the latest round of its ‘Share the Win’ initiative.
Two Scottish stores were among the 20 winners, picking up a total of £7,000 between them.
Launched last year, the scheme rewards retailers who sell high-tier winning tickets or Scratchcards worth £50,000 or more – provided the lucky player agrees to publicity.
The three ‘Share the Win’ prize tiers for retailers are:
· 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, silver tier winner Greens of Fraserburgh earned a £5,000 prize, while Wine and Glens Convenience Store in Dundee was awarded £2,000 as a Bronze tier winner.
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.”
