Thankfully or Tattersalls machines are still running, they have not cut us off overnight as threatened. I say thankfully because OzLotto has passed the $20 million jackpot sweet spot and is now offering a first division prize of $25 million. We are actively promoting this through our house syndicates and regular tickets. Our promotion reaches beyond the Tattersalls defined area and across to our main newspaper display. Thankfully the newspaper publishers don’t threaten to cut us off it we promote other product in “their space”.
We have a TV station working on our Tattersalls story in addition to the radio coverage already. I suspect this activity as well as intervention by the Minister for Gaming, the Small Business Commissioner, the State Gambling Regulatory Authority and my Lawyer has given Tattersalls reason to take another look at how they approach this. I hope so. I’m a retailer and as such want to sell tattersalls product. I have not taken any decision in my shop which I think will impact negatively on their sales or disrespect their brand.
Tomorrow is the beginning of a new day for Intralot as their products will be sold to the public.
Their machines are lying here unopen in my shop for about a couple of days now. I rang them they gave me the new number. I rang their new number and the lady apologised because I am not on the installing list for today. Unfortunately, she can not tell me what is happening tomorrow.
Goodluck to Intralot because there are lots of customers asking about their products. I sold them Powerball syndicates instead.

And where are the scratchies?Surely we should have them at least by now ,but no! i was told “your licence doesnt start till the first ,you will get them on them first”,what a joke or a lie or both,surely we could keep them in house and in the safe and have them ready to go in the morning…obviously not,what a complete balls up this whole process was,is, and looks like will continue to be for some time,and guess whose business integrity and profitability is affected..ours! and who is at the coalface to handle the complaints.. Us again!
Xmas wish list….
A representative body that can actually do something on our collective behalf!!
We too are waiting… waiting.
I have a nice operators manual, no terminal & a crowd of disappointed customers tomorrow. After years of Tattersalls indifference we thought we might finally have a lotteries offering for our town, Oh well……
My understanding re scratchies is that the State Government advised they were not permitted to ship these until July 1. Mark
As i said Mark a complete balls up!!
