RICHFIELD, OH – Customers shopping at Best Stop know they are in for a fun Lottery experience. Store owner Prakash Panchal and his staff are eager to help customers. A dedication to customer service and Lottery is why Best Stop is this week’s Ohio Lottery Retailer-of-the-Week.

To help promote the Lottery, Best Stop has all Ohio Lottery games on display. There is a small table set up where customers can play the games they purchased. Employees help customers fill out bet slips and inform them of jackpot amounts and any available second-chance drawings. Customers know they can always cash their winning tickets at Best Stop.

Lottery Sales Representative Mike Nicodemo notes that this retailer always activates new games on the day they are received. Prakash and other team members make a conscious effort to up-sell customers to the next price point, and they are aggressive with point of sale placement and new programs.

In order to be a successful Lottery retailer, Prakash offers this advice: greet your customers with a friendly smile, display Lottery products, jackpot amounts and winning tickets in the front of your store and around the front counter area. Help your Lottery customers with filling out their bet slips and always cash their winning tickets!

Best Stop averages $16,227 in weekly sales for both scratch-offs and online games. This retailer carries an average of 55 scratch-offs from over the counter.

Each week the Ohio Lottery recognizes one outstanding retail partner who offers courteous service and sales enthusiasm.
