QUICK-AND-EASY TACTICS TO DRIVE LOTTERY SALES
      • Display and publicize jackpot
        amounts to drive impulse
        purchases of draw games.
      • Make sure instant tickets are on
        display in highly visible areas in
        the store.
      • Think of other ways to indicate
        what instant tickets are available
        (e.g., display the monthly new
        game decal & tip card in highly
        visible locations where consumers
        will see them or consider a counter
        unit display).
      • Ensure signage is visible around
        vending machines. Although
        players aren’t necessarily seeking
        out vending machines, they’re
        noticed, have an impact, and are
        used for convenience.

 WHY YOU SHOULD SELL AND PROMOTE
By now, you have heard of Fast Play® and are hopefully earning additional money for your store by
selling it. Below are some reasons why you should continue to sell & promote the Fast Play games:
  • A new set of games gives you the potential to earn more commission.
  • 86% of Fast Play players buy other types of lottery games along with Fast Play, most often large
    jackpot draw based games and instant tickets.
  • Fast Play is an incremental source of revenue for your store.
      »Three state lotteries launched Fast Play in 2018 and saw an over 5% increase in
        total lottery sales from the previous year.

Instant, frequently won games drive in-store reinvestment.
  • Up to 99% of all prizes are redeemable at retail
    (% varies by game).
  • 2 out of 3 winners reinvest at least part of their win back in
    lottery products.*

There is still time to earn extra cash! Sign-up for
the incentive has been extended. Make sure your
store is registered at:
IllinoisLottery.com/fastplay-retailer.

    accessible. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires routes to goods and services to
    remain accessible to those with mobility disabilities. Remember that the following
    guidelines may apply to your retail location:
•    Paths must be at least 3 feet wide and remain accessible. Don’t block accessible entrances
     with vending machines, newspaper dispensers or display racks.
•    Accessible toilet stalls or counters at cash registers must not be cluttered or blocked with
     products or supplies.
•    Provide assistance to customers who are having difficulty reaching or
     viewing items.
•    Any access area that is temporarily not meeting standards, because of
     maintenance or repair reasons, should be resolved quickly.
