Adjournment Matters. - National Lottery.
However, what has not been appreciated are the very positive benefits of the company's exercise, which far outweigh any negative consequences. While 60 outlets were downgraded to a certain degree as a result, on the other hand, following the review 400 agents who previously could only sell scratch cards can offer the "quickpick" option for all the on-line games I mentioned earlier. In addition, a further 100 scratch card agents have been updated to full lotto terminals offering the complete product range. The position is that while 60 outlets were downgraded, 500 others were upgraded. This upgrading and redistribution of services will significantly increase lottery coverage and, in most instances, provide a fuller range of services to a much wider area.
