The results come as Allwyn is prepares its retail partners for the Christmas period
High EuroMillions jackpots have encouraged consumers to buy more lottery tickets, with Allwyn International reporting a 2% rise in third-quarter UK revenues to €974m (£852.3m) on a constant currency basis.
The parent company of the National Lottery operator said the UK’s steady growth was also driven by its digital channel, such as interactive instant win games, and targeted promotional and marketing activity.
However, total revenue in the quarter to 30 September was down by 1% after accounting for currency headwinds.
Adjusted EBITDA was €9m (£7.8m), an increase of €3m (£2.6m).
“We remained focused on the ongoing execution of our plans to transform the UK National Lottery, including upgrading legacy technology infrastructure that has long constrained new product development and innovation, to support future commercial initiatives and the further enhancement of the customer proposition,” the accounts said.
“During the quarter, we were delighted to successfully transition to a new central lottery system as one of over 30 system upgrades carried out, as well as activating new state of-the-art retail terminals to over 70% of our retail partners. The rollout of new retail terminals has continued after the end of the quarter.”
The results come as Allwyn UK prepares its retail partners for the Christmas period with festive draws and a new scratchcard campaign.
This year’s festive draw lineup includes a £15m Lotto ‘Must Be Won’ draw on Christmas Eve, which will be supported by a nationwide advertising campaign across TV, press, online, and digital billboards from 18 December. The EuroMillions 10 UK Millionaires draw will follow on 2 January, with in-store PoS available from 25 December.
Allwyn said these were an opportunity to boost sales for retailers.
The National Lottery operator has also invested £7m into a media campaign across November and December, featuring new ‘Scratchcard-igans’ with Olympian Tom Daley.
It has confirmed the return of the ‘Big Thank You’ giveaway, following its summer debut. Running from 1 to 14 December, the ‘Big Thank You’ will reward 40 independent retailers with the choice of seven prize options, including a Eurostar city break, Michelin Star culinary experience, and cricket hospitality.
“Retailers are central to our festive plans, with exclusive scratchcards and three major event draws creating a huge opportunity to boost sales and spread some cheer,” said Alison Acquaye-Acford, Allwyn director of commercial partnerships and retail sales.
We’re urging them to make the most of PoS, talk to customers about the draws, and join the fun of our Scratchcard-igans campaign. And with the return of our ‘Big Thank You’ prize giveaway from 1 December, there’s even more reason to get involved and win incredible rewards. It’s the perfect way to end 2025 and kick off 2026 – for retailers, players, and the good causes they help support.”

McLaren is giving its drivers free rein, a jackpot for Verstappen? – autohebdof1.com

After the double disqualification in Las Vegas, McLaren finds himself in an uncomfortable situation two races from the finish. Certainly, it is enough to Lando Norris to score two more points thanOscar piastri et Max Verstappen to clinch his first world title, but the four-time defending champion is now a tangible threat, 24 points behind the Englishman.

With Norris having his first match point this weekend at the Qatar Grand Prix, one might expect the Woking-based team to decide to favor the driver of the car No. 4, in order to avoid the disaster and embarrassment of seeing this title slip away when it seemed a long-held possession. However, Andrea Stella does not share this opinion.
« No, there’s no reason to do that. assures the team manager. We have always said that, as long as the calculations do not contradict this assertion, we will let the two drivers fight for the final victory, and the same will be true in Qatar. Let’s not forget that if we had been told at the start of the season that we would find ourselves in this situation with two races to go, we would have signed up immediately! Now, we will fight for the world championship title with confidence and fully aware of our strengths. »
Level on points with Verstappen, Oscar Piastri confirmed that there had been discussions on the matter, but the Australian doesn’t want to hear about these rules. Despite his poor form, which has seen him lose the championship lead to his teammate, the number 81 still believes in his chances of winning the world title.
« We discussed it briefly, and the answer is no. he summarizes. I’m still tied on points with Max, and I still have a good chance of winning if things go my way. Here’s how we’re going to play. “McLaren thus prefers to continue playing attack rather than defense, even if it means seeing the title slip away from them.

A formidable hunter, Max Verstappen can only be delighted with this situation. It’s perfect “The outgoing champion rubbed his hands together.
The Dutchman then emphasized that it was the right decision. You can’t make a better choice than to let them fight. Why should Oscar suddenly no longer have that right? If I were given such instructions, I’d tell them to get lost. As a pilot, you have to try. Otherwise, what’s the point of showing up? »
Verstappen is not fooled; he knows that the internal rivalry at McLaren is one of the keys to securing a fifth consecutive title. Many things need to go my way, but they must be free to fight and with a bit of luck we can put up a great fight until the end. “It’s a good thing Verstappen is doing everything he can to provoke.”
