Allwyn has partnered with supermarket chain Aldi to offer National Lottery draw games at self-service checkouts in all Aldi stores in the United Kingdom.
Aldi has offered UK National Lottery products in its supermarkets since 2021 and will now be the first chain in the UK to offer National Lottery draw games at self-service checkouts.
The rollout is expected to be completed during Spring 2025, giving players the opportunity to buy tickets for games including Lotto, EuroMillions, Thunderball and Set For Life.
Players can purchase the tickets via the digital screens at the checkout, or if they have a National Lottery Fast Pay card, they can use it to create their bespoke tickets at the checkout.
“As we continue on our retail transformation journey, adapting our offering for a changing retail landscape and new-look stores, we’re delighted to be expanding our partnership with Aldi,” said Allwyn operations director Jenny Blogg.
“This will ultimately see The National Lottery available at every single touchpoint in Aldi’s customer journey, helping us to reach even more players. So, however Aldi customers choose to shop, whether at the main tills or via self-checkout, they’ll always have the option to pick up a National Lottery game. This project has been a massive effort by the teams at both Allwyn and Aldi, and my sincere thanks must go to everyone involved.”
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi, added: “We’re always looking for ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers, which is why we’ve made it even easier to enter the National Lottery while picking up essentials at our self-checkouts.
“As the UK’s cheapest supermarket, our shoppers know they’ll always find amazing value at Aldi, but we hope some lucky customers manage to find the winning numbers at our self-checkouts too.”
