Allwyn’s PPOS roll-out trial moves to its next phase

Allwyn, the contract holder for the UK’s National Lottery, has moved on to a new phase of its National Lottery permanent point of sale , which has been hitting a number of select retailers.

The family of PPOS has been designed in collaboration with accessibility and sustainability experts to help deliver more modern retail environments and give retailers the ability to display information about National Lottery-funded projects that are local to their store.

Allwyn’s director of channel operations Alex Green said: “We’re hugely excited that National Lottery retailers are starting to get their hands on this brilliant new kit as part of our ‘test and learn’ trial deployment. As well as looking fantastic, the new PPOS has been designed to high standards of accessibility and sustainability – demonstrating The National Lottery’s commitment to delivering wider societal benefits.

“We know retailers will be keen to get the kit as soon as possible, but it’s important we trial it first and use our findings to inform a more substantial phased roll-out across our 40,000-strong estate. This will help us get the deployment absolutely right for our retail partners.

“The project to equip retailers with the very best National Lottery PPOS also represents the next stage of our investment in retail and signals our commitment to the channel as a whole, with retail being central to our vision to grow The National Lottery responsibly over the next 10 years.”

The next phase of the PPOS roll-out will see the new kit deployed in around 40 stores by the end of May, with another 10,000 outlets scheduled to receive the new PPOS later in the year. The kit will then be rolled out to the remainder of the estate throughout the autumn and into 2025.
