Aldi is set to start selling National Lottery tickets in all of its 900 UK stores following work with the operator Camelot.
From next month, Aldi will be rolling out the National Lottery’s full selection of draw-based games at its checkouts, including Lotto, EuroMillions, Lotto HotPicks, EuroMillions HotPicks, Set For Life, and Thunderball.
The launch follows a trial in the north of England, with full roll-out to all Aldi’s supermarkets planned by the end of June.
Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi, said: “Customers will now be able to enter The National Lottery while doing their weekly Aldi shop. We hope to hand out some winning numbers to lucky customers across the country.”
The National Lottery generates more than £30m, on average, each week for good causes and projects throughout the UK.
“We’re absolutely delighted to now be working with Aldi,” said Camelot Retail Director Jenny Blogg.
“Making The National Lottery available in its stores has been a priority for us as we continue to make playing The National Lottery as convenient and easy as possible for people, wherever and however they shop.”

- Every Lidl helps?
- (A pointer for others?)
