EDUCATION LOTTERY RETAILERS RECEIVE RECOGNITION
Redeeming winning lottery tickets and making sure players see when new tickets are available appears to be paying off for some North Carolina Education Lottery (NCEL) retailers. Two Greenville Region retailers have increased sales from 161% to 191% and have been named "Stellar Sellers." Another retailer has been named a "S.T.A.R." for its enthusiasm for the games.
NCEL retailers that have increased their sales by the highest percentage in the region compared to the previous quarter earn the title of "Stellar Seller." One location per region earns the title of "S.T.A.R." (Spectacular Technique Achieving Retailer), based on NCEL sales representative recommendations for a store's unique sales promotion technique. The NCEL announces the following retail locations in the Greenville Region named "Stellar Seller" or S.T.A.R.:
