National Lottery Retailers Scoop £30k in Camelot’s Rewards Initiative

Over 700 National Lottery retailers have picked up a total of £30,000 in cash prizes in Camelot’s latest Retailer Hub rewards programmes for both its ‘Site, Stock, Sell Online’ and a special winter rewards initiative.

A total of 11 National Lottery retailers were awarded £20,000 between them in the second quarterly prize draw of Camelot’s new-look ‘Site, Stock, Sell Online’ programme – with ten retailers winning £1,000 each and one extra-lucky retailer scooping the huge £10,000 top prize.

Elsewhere, the special winter rewards initiative saw £10,000 in cash prizes go to 700 independent retailers – with prizes ranging from £5 to £500 and one top prize of £1,000, which was taken home by Richard Sage of Craven Street Stores in Melton Mowbray.

The winners in the ‘Site, Stock, Sell Online’ quarterly draw, who were automatically entered into the prize draw for scoring 8 or more in the 10-point programme, are:

£10,000

·         A National Lottery retailer in Barrow-in-Furness*

£1,000

·         Shanti Visana of Great Berry Off Licence in Basildon

·         A National Lottery retailer in Cheshire*

·         Oliver Kenworthy of Martins Manor Stores in Glossop

On her win, Shanti commented: “This is such welcome news, we’ve not had a good week business-wise and this win really made my day. I’m going to save the money and put it towards a family visit to India to see my parents, whom I haven’t seen since February 2019. I’ve been trying to save and this will really help us. We love selling The National Lottery to our customers and bringing them hope and happiness, and now Camelot has given that to me. Thank you very much Camelot.”

Oliver said: “I was in the cash and carry when I was told, and I was absolutely over the moon. I’ll probably put the money towards a holiday when we’re allowed to travel again. When The National Lottery says ‘it could be you’ – it really can!”

Camelot’ Retail Director, Jenny Blogg, said: “These wins are thoroughly deserved by our independent retailers for the excellent work they’ve been doing over the last few months – they’ve continued to serve their communities through thick and thin, while helping to raise vital money for Good Causes by selling The National Lottery. I’d like to congratulate each and every one of them.

“We’re delighted that this quarter we were able to once again boost our ‘Site, Stock, Sell Online’ quarterly prize pool from £10,000 to £20,000. Not only that, but we also added a further £10,000 in cash rewards for National Lottery retailers as part of our special winter rewards initiative. We hope that these prizes make a real difference for the winners, especially as things have been a lot tougher over the last year.”
