Considering adding the Florida Lottery to your business? Becoming a Florida Lottery retailer comes with countless benefits for your bottom line.
As an official lottery retailer, you'll earn a sales commission for every ticket sold without any initial investment.
In recent years, the average Florida Lottery retailer added over $32,000 to their annual earnings from lottery ticket sales. And if your location sells a jackpot or top prize winning ticket, you could earn a bonus commission of up to one hundred thousand dollars.
We call that a big win all around.
Selling tickets from the Florida Lottery also increases foot traffic in your store and boosts overall customer purchases. On average, customers buying lottery tickets spend 65 percent more than non-lottery customers, and an incredible 95% of customers purchasing lottery tickets buy at least one additional item.
The Florida Lottery is also committed to supporting education and has contributed tens of billions of dollars to Florida education since 1988.
When you become a Florida Lottery retailer, you begin actively supporting education in your community and throughout Florida with every ticket sold.
