Lottery retailers and enjoying a tremendous run with jackpots lately. Tonight, Powerball jackpotted. Next week, division one of Powerball is worth $80 million. OzLotto has jackpotted too and it is worth $15 million on Tuesday. Plus we have the Saturday Lotto superdraw on August 1 for $20 million.
The Powerball $80 million jackpot means the focus of the next seven days shifts. The opportunity is too great to miss. It starts tomorrrow morning with dressing the shop and ensuring that we make the most of lottery traffic as well as converting non-lottery traffic into lottery sales.
The most crucial activity for newsagents with lottery products is to ensure that non-lottery departments benefit from the lottery traffic.
Anyone know what the colours will be for the 80 million ,i want to get cracking on these balloons
Did anyone else struggle with sales for this PB $50million? By struggle I mean there just seemed to be not as much interest after Oz’s $90million. Our Syndicates were slower then usual (and our $50 syndicate and 2nd $25 syndicate didnt sell out) and people just didn’t seem to have the money or the want to play so soon after the last big one, whether they lost faith or just couldnt afford.
$80million will lure them all out though I am SURE. Here we go again
Yes agree with you Robin, our sales weren’t great. Hopefully next week will be better, and the magazine companies have some good stories to promote next to lotto counter
We find that with our lotto sales we suffer from Jackpot hangover for a few months, We had a slow $50 millon powerball because people still remember that there was a $110 million OZ and for some reason do not want to spend.
We will be pushing hard with the $80 million but it gets hard when we will not recieve any POS from lotteries until tuesday next week and the website has not been updated yet.
Robin Chris i agree with you guys sales were well and truely up compared to normal but not even clost to when powerball reached 50 million last time . i am sure with the 80 million we should have results the same as the 90 oz lotto draw
Our sales were average until yesterday. It went Bang!
Think people lost heart over not winning any in the $90M Oz Lotto, especially the first timers –
but also I gather people were hoping that it will not go off at $50M, and so held on to their betting money for the next round.
So we hope…..
I take back what I said about not recieving posters until next week. We recieved a parcel today with loads of all types of POS, great job NSW lotteries, let the fun and games begin
