Allwyn has celebrated 25 independent National Lottery retailers with £158,000 in prizes as part of its ‘Share the Win’ initiative, including two Scots.
M Akmal of Shop Smart in Lanark was a gold tier winner picking up the top prize of £10,000, while silver tier winner Ayesha Ameen of Nisa Way in Glasgow was awarded £5,000.
The scheme, which launched in November 2024, recognises retailers who sell high tier (£50,000 or more) winning National Lottery tickets – like EuroMillions, Lotto, and Thunderball, or National Lottery Scratchcards. The amount awarded to each retailer is linked to the size of the player’s win, and the scheme is open to all retailers where the winning ticketholder is happy to share details of their win.
A total of 12 independent National Lottery retailers were awarded £10,000 each by Allwyn for selling winning tickets worth £1m or more, while four National Lottery retailers scooped the £5,000 silver tier prize.
Meanwhile, nine National Lottery retailers took home the £2,000 bronze tier prize.
Allwyn’s Director of Commercial Partnerships and Retail Sales, Alison Acquaye-Acford, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be celebrating 25 new ‘Share the Win’ winners! Massive congratulations to each of them. With £158,000 awarded by Allwyn to independent National Lottery retailers, we’re extending that winning feeling and good fortune further than ever before.”
In addition to the cash prizes, winning retailers will receive new in-store activation kit – including a special ‘Big Winner Made Here’ poster and wall plaque, and for gold tier winners, a gold ‘Millionaire Made Here’ Playstation.
With more Share the Win awards due in the coming months, Allwyn advises National Lottery retailers to head to the National Lottery Retailer Hub to ensure they’re opted-in and don’t miss out.
