The original Lottoland from months ago has been shown again this week with an update on prize money. This is the first ad, when they clearly depict and newsagency business and make fun of the newsagent.
In my opinion this is a disgusting attack on small business newsagents by Lottoland. I think it is unethical and demonstrates a lack of social responsibility.
Shame on them and shame on Tatts for doing nothing to counter the attack on their retail network.
Here is the ad from months ago that is the basis for the current airing. The lotto land YouTube version has been taken down – I guess because they don’t want people like me to draw attention ion to it in a negative light.
Like I said, shame on Lottoland for what they are doing here and shame on Tatts for not supporting its retail channel.
Mark, I am displaying the correction notice that was publisher some time ago , a nice A4 size when customers see this they then realize that they are not buying a ticket in the Australian or US Powerball but thy are actually placing a bet with a bookmaker this usually turns them off Lottoland and when I tell them that they advertised in the past that for one dollar they can enter all six Australian lotteries when you cannot enter one for one dollar .Customers need to be made aware of these facts this usually turns them away from Lottoland . We as newsagents should educate the public and if we all do our bit in our agency the word will be spread by our customers, lets face it Tatts is doing nothing and it is up to us to defend our business.
