WA Lotterywest retailers received more good news this week:
Dear
In March, the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 was amended to allow specific measures to be taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this, Lotterywest suspended terminal and service fees for all retailers for the duration of the emergency period.
The Premier recently announced that the legislation would be extended for a further six months, which means that the suspension of these fees will continue to be in effect until Monday 15 March 2021. Please note you’ll still be charged for PI Insurance.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing contribution to our strong sales results. We’re confident that upcoming initiatives, including the exciting improvements to Saturday Lotto next month, will further strengthen sales.
If you have any questions, please contact your Retail Relationship Officer or Customer Services on 133 777.
Finally, the health and wellbeing of you, your staff and customers are important to us, so please continue to take care and to follow COVID-19 safe practices advised by the Department of Health.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Susan Hunt PSM
CEO Lotterywest and Healthway
Wow! What a great example.
Tremendous and all profits being returned to the WA Government for the benefit of the state of WA!
ALNA has been at the heart of a strong relationship with Lotterywest and the WA government. I saw this first hand at an ALNA conference attended by the Premier. I was fortunate to meet him and the new head of Lotterywest. Their knowledge of and support for newsagents was terrific and ALNA has played a key role over considerable time in achieving that for newsagents.
I remind readers here, too, that Lotterywest retailers have received $30,000 in Covid relief.
