After you have called Hotline to unfreeze your terminal (terminals freeze for all prizes $10,000 and over) and congratulated Tom, return his ticket intact and give him the validation slip. Tom wants to know what awaits him at the Prize Office when he goes to claim his prize. Here’s what he can expect: • A lottery representative will conduct an interview with Tom, as well as take his photo. The information given could be used in various forms of publicity, including a possible media release, inclusion in LUCK magazine and the website, a poster at the ticket purchase location and, depending on the size of the prize, possibly a media conference. IT’S YOUR TICKET If the customer has any additional questions, they can call Customer Care at 1-866-665-3313. • Of course, we are talking about a lot of money, and the review process can take time. It is not uncommon for winners to wait several days to receive their cheque after making their claim. Can I play the lottery, too? As a retailer, you certainly can play lottery products! We do not restrict retailers from purchasing or validating lottery tickets from your store, or any other store, for that matter. After all, the odds of winning a prize are the same for you as any other player! However, before you play at work, it’s always a good idea to check with your employer to make sure there aren’t any internal policies preventing this practice. If you are lucky enough to win a big prize, just be aware that there will be additional questions and processes that will be required when processing your claim. This will mean a delay in receiving your prize. But it’s for a good reason! The questions provide an added level of security and help to ensure the rightful person receives the prize. This also helps to avoid unfair scrutiny down the road. So, please be patient when waiting for your prize claims. 2 • LOTTOLINE from purchase to prize redemption 0-00 QUICK PICK IT’S A ENTERTR EX ED SEE REVERSE678 ‘Cha-ching! Woo-hoo!

This list is a region-wide database of all lottery retailers’ employees that can be easily updated and is accessed through the lottery terminal. Retail Employee List Owners or managers are asked to enter the employee’s legal name as it appears on their identification and their start date at that location. If the employee is a manager, press the manager button. Once they are no longer employed, the manager will delete that person as an employee. Their name will remain in the system for two years, at which time it will be permanently deleted. Instructions on how to update the list can be found on page 4-7 in your Ticket Terminal Operator’s Guide. Three Cheers for a Winning year!

We alert retailers to new incentives by email. Retailer incentive packages are sent directly to your store, so be on the lookout. Congratulations to our latest retailer incentive winners: Christmas Scratch Pack Promotion Retailers who utilized the Christmas pouches, sent in a photo of them on display and provided the names of their Lottery staff were automatically entered for a chance to win $750. All staff names were placed in a draw and Andrew Carpenter won $250. The store of the winning lottery clerk was awarded $500. Congratulations to Big River Service Centre in Fort Providence! Free Lottery for a Year Lottery customers were given the opportunity to win a subscription for “Free Lottery for the Year”. Retailers who promoted this contest and sent in their ballots were automatically entered to win $750. In addition, lottery clerks were encouraged to write their name on the back of the ballots. All lottery clerks’ names were then placed in a draw and Jewel Keevik won $250. The store of the winning lottery clerk was also awarded $500. Congratulations, Northern Store #636 in Tuktoyaktuk!
