A fantastic Fiscal 2016
Top 5 reasons it’s
great to be an LTC!
What a year it’s been! We shattered sales records again this
Busy summer days are upon us and in the midst of a
hectic day, it can be easy to forget why being a lottery
retailer is pretty awesome. Here are our top five reasons:
(April 1, 2015 – March 31, 2016)
year, in large part due to the amazing efforts made by retailers like you.
Lottery sales surpassed last years’ record of $1.23 billion by more than
$246 million to reach a staggering $1.48 billion. WCLC also led the
country in sales growth, which increased by 20%.
Serious selling! Lottery retailers in our region raked in
$104.0 million in commissions on sales and prize redemptions.
That’s up by more than $19.5 million over last year.
Awesome fiscal facts!
LOTTO MAX is a top performer and this year was no
exception. Up by 63.7% from last year, LOTTO MAX
sales reached an astounding $491.1 million!
The LOTTO MAX $10 million base jackpot was not
seen all year and more than half of the jackpots had
additional MAXMILLIONS draws.
Thanks in part to the success of Super Draws
and above average jackpots, including a record
$64 million, LOTTO 6/49 had a strong year. The
flagship game brought in $302.7 million in sales,
which was an increase of 13.7%!
Partnering with LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49’s
success, EXTRA has jumped into the forefront
with a record year! Finishing off with $154.8 million
in sales, EXTRA pulled in more than $33 million over
last year’s earnings.
Is upselling EXTRA worth it? You bet it is! EXTRA accounted
for more than $7.7 million in retailer commissions this year
alone. Don’t let that money slip through your fingers. Always ask
your players if they would like to add the EXTRA!
PICK 3 wowed the crowds with $26.8 million in
sales. The regional game has continued to see steady
growth, even without much marketing support. That’s
PICK 3’s highest sales EVER!
And now for the #1 fact to share with your customers: lottery prizes
totalled $759.17 million in our region of Alberta, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba, Yukon, Nunavut and Northwest Territories! That’s a lot of
winners! Spread the word, and watch those sales turn into commissions.

Increased Customer Traffic
Displaying the Lottery Ticket Centre (LTC) logo and
promotional signage draws customers to your store. Big
jackpots also drive traffic right to your doorstep. Display
the amounts where customers can see them, using your
jackpot alert kits!
Did you know that, on average, customers who buy
lottery products spend $6 more per visit than those
who don’t buy lottery? And, while some customers
have already planned what they are buying before
entering your store, many people decide to buy lottery
tickets after they arrive.
2
Loyal Customer Base
Lottery players often come back to the same store
to purchase lottery tickets, especially if the customer
service is top notch. Keep your selection table tidy,
make customers feel welcome, keep up-to-date on
lottery products, and they’ll keep coming back.
3
Commissions
Your location receives a 5% commission on the sale
of lottery tickets and a 2% commission on all prize
redemptions up to $1,000!
4
Celebrating Winners
Nothing is more exciting to a lottery player than realizing
they have won a major prize – it is something that a
winner will remember for the rest of their lives. And you
get to play a part in that excitement. Delivering such
good news is something you’ll never forget either!
5
Helping Great Causes
Approximately 34.3% of every dollar spent on lottery
tickets is returned to our member provinces and
territories to fund a variety of community programs
and facilities, sports, arts and culture. Thank you for
your help!
LOTTO 6/49 Super Wednesdays!

reason. Have the player check the

The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) is pleased to recognize

Carmen Littau, Owner/Operator since 2013, has taken a hands-on approach to
lottery sales at her gas and convenience store, growing sales by 34 per cent in
the last year.
Pictured (L to R): Carmen Littau, Owner/Operator; Doreen Nelmes,
AGLC Lottery Account Representative, South; and Gail Banks, Clerk
When entering this business, customers are impressed by staff members’
friendly service, vast product knowledge in gas and convenience items, and
superior lottery up selling techniques. Carmen and staff keep a fully stocked
lottery merchandiser and Carmen’s unique and fun lottery up selling ideas have
resulted in a steady and expanding loyal customer base.
Congratulations to Carmen and all her staff for their ongoing and growing success!
TRAINING SUMMER STAFF
The summer season usually means hiring parttime or casual staff to help out. Be sure that all
of your employees, whether they are new or not,
are properly trained! Lottery training is necessary
to ensure employees can effectively sell lottery
products. It’s free and easy to set up! Go to
Lottolearn.ca and follow the instructions.
REMINDER ABOUT CHECKING
FOR ID UNDER 25
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) would like to remind all Lottery
Ticket Retailers that they must check for identification of anyone who appears to be

MANITOBA UPDATE
Retailer of the month:
Eskie’s Lotto Kiosk, Winnipeg
Congratulations Amare, Eskadar and Yacob
Shershero of Eskie’s Lotto Kiosk on being selected
as the July/August Retailer of the Month.
Amare started out as a lottery retailer when he
became a franchise owner of a Mac’s Convenience
Store in May 1998. In 2007 he purchased his
own convenience store where he remained until
2014. His most recent venture brought him to the
lottery kiosk business which he operates inside the
Safeway store at McPhillips and Jefferson.
Since Amare took ownership of the kiosk
sales have grown by over 50%. In order to
accommodate the newly constructed Liquor Mart
Express inside the store, the kiosk was relocated
to a more prominent location next to the customer
service counter, more visible to the check outs.
The move had an immediate effect on the business
and despite a few related challenges it was all
worth it.
Amare said he never has to worry about running
out of SNW product or lottery supplies because his Customer Contact Centre Rep, Susie “is the
best!” She provides him with the information he needs about product, how much inventory to carry,
and she is patient during the call so they have time to work out the best product mix.

Amare says that customer engagement and upselling is the key to increasing sales. He believes that
three out of five customers will say yes to the upsell of lottery products. He says that if you get to
know your customers, you get to know who you can upsell to and who may become frustrated with
it. In those situations you need to give the customer what they want so you don’t lose them.
On-Line Lottery Ticket
Terminal Training
In September Amare attended a Lottery Retailer meeting at McPhillips Station Casino. The purpose
of this meeting was to discuss the current and future state of our lottery business. He says it was
helpful hearing other retailers sharing ideas about what works to improve their business and increase
sales. Amare claims the camaraderie with other lottery retailers has been a huge benefit to him. He
states, “Another lottery retailer shared his balancing and cash out system and he also pushed me
hard to get Interac and credit. It may look like we’re competitors but if my business grows theirs will
grow simultaneously.” The success of this upgrade to his business is evident in the increased traffic
and sales.
Does your retail location have a new
employee that needs training on the lottery
terminal? Did your store fail a Compliance
Inspection and now you need to get trained?
Were you looking for a refresher on handling
transactions on the ticket terminal? We have the answer for you with
LottoLearn.
Amare is driven to do well in his business, which he credits his grandma. Originally from Ethiopia,
his father died when he was very young so he was raised by his grandma. She took him to the city
of Addis Ababa with the hope that he would one day “be somebody”. His grandma was poor but she
managed to find a way to put him through school where he achieved a degree in physics. He moved
to Gondar to teach high school and that was where he met his wife, Eskadar. They married in Sudan
before coming to Canada together. Amare said when he first saw Portage and Main he couldn’t
believe how quiet our downtown was compared to the very crowded and busy Addis Ababa.
Congratulations Amare and Eskadar on being selected as July/August Retailer of the Month!
