There is concern about the growth in agents. There are a certain number of people who will spend a certain amount of money and that would be diluted across more outlets. I presume not all members have lotto terminals. Of those that do, I presume that while most would like to be the only show in town, the more agents there are the less they will receive. Is it the view of Ms Buckley that bookshops, cafes, restaurants and barber shops are not suitable places for lotto tickets to be sold?
