National Lottery operator Allwyn has teamed up with EPoS provider Madic UK in a move that will see draw-based games being available at forecourt self-checkouts for the first time.

The partnership will make the National Lottery available at any EPoS or self-checkout integrated with Madic UK’s evoPOS.

A prototype will be unveiled at next week’s National Convenience and Forecourt Show in Birmingham.

Allwyn’s director of channel operations, Alex Green, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Madic UK as we continue to invest in the retail channel and in in-store technology for the future. Offering innovative, alternative ways to buy National Lottery draw games makes them available to more players, whether new or existing, and this helps with our primary aim of raising more money for National Lottery-funded projects – with more people playing a little.”

Madic UK’s solutions management director Emma Baillie added: “An integration with The National Lottery and evoPOS has been on our customers’ wish list since we launched the product. Being able to work with Allwyn to offer this solution to all our customers in the future is a huge milestone in our product’s evolution.”
