One of the good things about being a lottery retailer is that you get commissions when a winning ticket is sold by you. So, not only do you get a percentage of sales, you could also get a nice bonus! Sure, percentage of sales is not very high (anywhere from 1% to 10%), but you also don't have to carry inventory. A big winner can get you, as a retailer a nice bonus.
Lorie Judice, from Rayne, Louisiana won $200,000 in Powerball from Louisiana Lottery in March of 2006. She bought the ticket from Piggly Wiggly store on Adams Avenua in Rayne, Louisiana. The retailer received a $2,000 bonus for selling that winning ticket. $2000 just for printing a ticket! Now, that's a nice profit margin! If Lorie Judice would have won more (Or any customer for that matter), Piggly Wiggly would have had an even higher commission.
Perhaps playing the lottery isn't the way to go. Maybe, selling lottery tickets is better. The odds are better that you will sell a winning lottery ticket than they are that you will buy a winning lottery ticket. Sure, the payout is a lot smaller. But winning something is better than winning nothing, right?
Congratulations to both Lorie Judice and Piggly Wiggly on their lucky win!
