Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, has announced it has awarded £20,000 in prizes to 11 National Lottery retailers in its latest Site, Stock, Sell online quarterly prize draw.
A single National Lottery retailer took home the £10,000 top prize, while a further 10 retailers each won £1,000 for achieving high scores in Allwyn’s Site, Stock, Sell online in-store standards programme.
"My husband and I are big charity people and that’s why we always make sure we do everything to maximise National Lottery sales and our shop’s contributions to Good Causes," said Ranmal Punja Odera, owner of Smokers Paradise and winner of £1,000.
"I worked for the NHS for years, and now I support the community and our customers. I often take our elderly customers out for brunch and dinner, so I will use the money to treat them to a nice afternoon tea and also give a little to a charity. Then the rest could go towards a holiday."

Tanwir Hussain, owner of Premier News in Chorley and winner of a £1,000 prize, said: "I was so happy when I found out I’d won. It means we can buy a new washing machine with the money.
"The National Lottery makes a huge difference to our store, as it helps to drive footfall. We recently had the new National Lottery permanent point of sales equipment installed which looks great and is already making a difference."
Allwyn’s Head of Field Sales, Karl Southworth, said: "I’d like to say a huge congratulations to this quarter’s deserving Site, Stock, Sell online prize winners. Keep up the fantastic work. We know that keeping Scratchcard dispensers full, signage current and up to date, and play slips topped up helps maximise sales of The National Lottery and, in turn, increases returns to Good Causes. Thank you for your hard work in helping to raise over £30 million every week for National Lottery-funded projects."
This month, independent National Lottery retailers have the opportunity to earn even more in rewards through Allwyn's Site, Stock, Sell online programme. They can earn £25 instead of £10 for uploading point of sale pictures and scoring 8 or more out of ten. This is helping support the huge £104m guaranteed EuroMillions special event draw tonight (7 March), with POS having already been sent to stores ahead of the huge draw.
