Allwyn celebrates 'Set For 5 Years' scratchcard with retailer National Lottery competition

Allwyn celebrates 'Set For 5 Years' scratchcard with retailer National Lottery competition

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, has launched a brand new annuity-style Scratchcard based on its successful draw game Set For Life. The new "Set For 5 Years" Scratchcard, which costs £2, offers players the chance to win a top prize of £5,000 every month for five years.

And to celebrate its launch in stores, Allwyn is giving eligible National Lottery retailers the chance to win an annuity-style prize of their own of £100 every month for a year. To be in with a chance of winning one of five top prizes up for grabs, National Lottery retailers should upload a picture of the Set For 5 Years Scratchcard in their dispenser to the National Lottery Retailer Hub by this Sunday (19 January).


In doing so, they’ll earn £10 and an entry into the draw to win £100 a month for a year. In-store support for the new Set For 5 Years game – which works by players having to match key numbers on the card to mimic that of a "Set For Life" draw – includes both Set For Life and Set For 5 Years POS, with the games’ iconic blue and pink colour palette taking a prominent place in stores this month.

“We’re really excited to be launching this new Set For Life-style Scratchcard, as it gives retail players even more opportunities to win on repeat from a National Lottery game," said Allwyn’s Head of Retail Channels, James Dunbar. "It’s designed with the same look and feel as the Set For Life draw game, which offers retailers lots of cross-selling opportunities. For example, they can suggest the new Scratchcard as an additional purchase to customers buying a Set For Life ticket. And we‘re also celebrating its launch with a special bonus event that will bring the magic of winning on repeat to five lucky National Lottery retailers.” If National Lottery retailers haven’t already, they can sign up to The National Lottery Retailer Hub today to find out more about bonus opportunities like this one and Allwyn’s new "Share The Win" initiative: https://tnlpartners.co.uk/

Interest rate cut: Bira warns of troubles still ahead

Bira (British Independent Retailers Association), which represents over 6,000 independent retail businesses across the UK, has warned that they face troubled times ahead despite today's Bank of England interest rate cut to 4.5 per cent, as the Bank halves its growth forecast for 2025 to just 0.75 per cent.

"The reduction in interest rates was expected and is welcome news for the retail sector," said Bira CEO Andrew Goodacre. "We have consistently maintained that rates have unnecessarily remained high for longer than required, and we anticipate this reduction will help boost consumer confidence."

Pernod Ricard lowers FY25 outlook amid global tariff threats

Tariffs imposed by China and the United States could deal an estimated €200 million (£167m) blow to Pernod Ricard's business annually, finance chief Helene de Tissot said on Thursday.

China has already imposed temporary tariffs on European brandy imports, hurting Pernod's sales of its Martell cognac brand. The impact of tariffs, which could become permanent, forced Pernod to cut its outlook for 2025 and beyond on Thursday.
