Does your local shop go above and beyond to support your community?
Nominate them to give them a chance to win a prize package worth up to £25,000
We’re looking for local retail champions who give back to the community through their shop. Perhaps they have widened their aisles to fit wheelchairs, or help out with local food deliveries for those who find it difficult to get to the shops.
Then there are those looking out for the environment, perhaps by leading litter-picking days, or helping local producers by stocking their wares.
Maybe they support the local football team by sponsoring the kit.
Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, wants to help you say thanks to those local retail champions who go above and beyond to make your community a better place to live.
There’s a chance for two National Lottery independent retailers to each win a £5,000 cash prize plus a Social Value store makeover worth up to £20,000*, so the winners can do even more for their community.
There will also be 16 regional winners who receive a £5,000 cash prize, and 100 runners-up who will get a £100 cash prize.
Fill in the entry form below to nominate your local National Lottery retailer.

7) Eligible Retailers:
(i) Subject to paragraph 7)(ii) belw and the other exclusions in these Terms and Conditions, only UK National Lottery Retailers that fulfil the below criteria shall be eligible to be put forward to win any of the prizes:
(a) the UK National Lottery Retailer must be based in the UK or Isle of Man and have a current and valid Retailer Agreement in place with Allwyn. For the avoidance of doubt, where a Retailer has more than one Retailer Agreement in force with Allwyn (one for each store), each store can participate in the Promotion; and
(b) the UK National Lottery Retailer must have received a valid nomination by a member of the public via the Promoter's Local Retail Champions website at www.TNLLocalRetailChampions.co.uk.
(ii) the following UK National Lottery Retailers may not be eligible to take part in the Promotion or win any prizes (“Non-Eligible Retailers”):
(a) UK National Lottery Retailers that are the subject of a security investigation during the period when the Promotion is running; and/or
(b) have had any type of security sanction since 1 September 2021 (including terminal suspension); and/or
(c) have failed an Operation Guardian visit on three consecutive occasions; and
Allwyn’s decision (which may be exercised in their sole discretion) as to the eligibility or non-eligibility of an applicable UK National Lottery Retailer to take part in the Promotion and/or be eligible for a prize shall be final.
8) The Promoter shall assess the nomination forms to identify, in its discretion, the Retailers nominated in accordance with the nomination brief. These will then be forwarded to Allwyn to do its background checks and assess the Retailer against the eligibility criteria as set out in these Terms and Conditions. All valid entries will then be forwarded to the Allwyn judging panel to choose the winners. The judging panel will be looking for Retailers who have gone above and beyond to support their local community in 2024.
9) Prizes available to be won:
The two winners:The Judging panel will be tasked with picking the two winners that they think have gone above and beyond to support their local community in 2024 and are most deserving. The winner’s prize will depend on whether the relevant winner is an independent or a chain/multiple Retailer. If there is a dispute about whether or not a Retailer is an independent or a chain/multiple Retailer, the decision shall be at Allwyn’s absolute discretion.
(i) If the winning Retailer is deemed an “independent” by Allwyn (and not part of chain or group with multiple stores), such winner shall win:
(a) a £5,000 cash prize received via the TNL Retailer Hub in accordance with paragraph 13 below; plus
(b) a makeover for their store up to a maximum value of £20,000 (a “Social Value £20,000 Makeover”). A Social Value £20,000 Makeover is a non-cash prize whereby Allwyn (and social value organisations/partners to Allwyn) will work with the applicable winning Retailer to identify changes or improvements to the winning Retailer up to a value of £20,000. The changes / improvements must be in line with four thematic areas identified in “Allwyn’s Social Value Framework” (see paragraph 9(i)(c) below). The list of activities that can be funded is non-exhaustive as long as they are in line with these four thematic areas;
(c) The four thematic areas comprising Allwyn’s Social Value Framework are:
Responsible Play – supporting the Retailer and their customers to play all National Lottery games in a safe and responsible way;
Empowering People – supporting the Retailer’s staff and their customers to create an inclusive, accessible experience inside and outside their newsagent that embraces diversity;
Protecting the Planet – supporting the Retailer, the Retailer’s staff and/or customers to put in place improvements that will measure, reduce or remove the carbon footprint of the store, including waste and packaging; and
Supporting Prosperous Places – supporting the Retailer in how they support their local community and high street where the store is based
(d) The Social Value £20,000 Makeover prize is non-transferable and no cash alternative shall be offered. If the total makeover costs less than £20,000 the Retailer will not be entitled to a cash or other equivalent of the unspent prize amount. The makeover may cover a range of different costs, within the total value of £20,000, including (but not limited to) consulting costs, capital costs, training costs, and event costs. The applicable winner’s prize must be redeemed by 4pm on 27 October 2025 – “redeemed” means the money must have been spent on the activities / changes / improvements by the said deadline. Allwyn retains absolute discretion as to what spend is and is not within the definition of the four thematic areas and, therefore, Allwyn’s agreement with the winning Retailer shall provide that Allwyn has absolute discretion as to what changes and improvements will and will not be funded as part of the prize. To the extent that Allwyn and the applicable winning Retailer are not able to identify or agree all or any part of the improvements, changes or activities to the newsagent, Allwyn shall not be obliged to fund any such changes or improvements.
(ii) If the relevant winner is deemed to be part of a chain or group with multiple stores by Allwyn (and not an independent), the prize to the winner shall be a £25,000 donation by Allwyn to a UK based registered charity chosen by the applicable winner. The charity must be independent of the winner and the winner can not receive any direct or indirect benefit from the donation. The nominated charity shall be approved by Allwyn and the donation must not, in the reasonable opinion of Allwyn, jeopardise or diminish the reputation of The National Lottery and/or Allwyn. Allwyn reserves the right to refuse to make a donation to the chosen registered charity that does not comply with the above and request the winner choose another compliant charity chosen in its place.
10) The sixteen regional winners:
Separate from the two winners, the judging panel will also be asked to choose their winner for each region set out below based on how well the Retailer has gone above and beyond in supporting their community. Each chosen regional winner shall receive a cash prize of £5,000 received via the TNL Retailer Hub in accordance with paragraph 13 below, where the regional winner is an independent Retailer (subject to their compliance with these Terms and Conditions).
If the relevant winner is deemed to be part of a chain or group with multiple stores under a single Retailer Agreement with Allwyn (and not an independent), the prize to the winner shall be a £5,000 donation by Allwyn to a UK based registered charity chosen by the applicable winner. The charity must be independent of the winner and the winner cannot receive any direct or indirect benefit from the donation. The nominated charity shall be approved by Allwyn and the donation must not, in the reasonable opinion of Allwyn, jeopardise or diminish the reputation of the National Lottery and/or Allwyn. Allwyn reserves the right to refuse to make a donation to the chosen registered charity that does not comply with the above and request the winner choose another compliant charity chosen in its place.
The regions are set out below. If there is a dispute about whether or not a Retailer falls within a region, this shall ultimately be determined by Allwyn in its absolute discretion Region 1 - Scotland East Region 2 - Scotland West and Northern Ireland Region 3 - Newcastle Region 4 - Leeds
Region 5 - Manchester & West Yorkshire Region 6 - Liverpool & North Wales Region 7 - Midlands & Staffordshire Region 8 - Birmingham & South West Region 9 - South Wales, Bristol & Bath Region 10 - South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire Region 11 - South West & Isle of Man Region 12 - East Anglia Region 13 - Home Counties Region 14 - North London Region 15 - South London Region 16 - South East
11) Separate from the two winners and sixteen national winners, the judging panel will also be asked to select one hundred runner up Retailers, based on how well the Retailer has gone above and beyond in supporting their community. Each chosen runner up shall receive the sum of £100 cash each (subject to any Eligibility requirements or other exclusions as set out in these Terms and Conditions) received via the TNL Retailer Hub in accordance with paragraph 13 below.
12) If for any reason there are insufficient numbers of entries, or quality of entries to satisfy the above prizes, Allwyn reserves the right to not award all tiers of prizes or prizes in each region. If, in Allwyn’s reasonable discretion, no valid nominations are received in a particular region set out in paragraph 10 above, Allwyn reserves the right to select more than one winner in a neighbouring region.
13) With respect to any cash prize, cash prize amounts will be allocated to the winning Retailers’ TNL Retailer Hub account by Allwyn within 30 days of notification, provided all eligibility criteria are met. Accordingly, Retailers must be signed up to the TNL Retailer Hub in order to receive a cash prize. Retailers not signed up to the TNL Retailer Hub will have 90 days after the date they are informed of their win to sign up and receive their prize. If a Retailer fails to sign up within this time period, they forfeit any prize they are entitled to. In order to be eligible for a prize, a prospective winning Retailer must settle any outstanding debt owed to Allwyn within 30 calendar days of being notified about their win. Failure to do so will make the applicable Retailer not eligible to win any prize.
14) In order for a winning Retailer to receive all or part of any prize, the relevant winning Retailer shall:
(i) agree to these Terms and Conditions by signing and return the same to Allwyn at TNLPartnersRewards@allwyn.co.uk;
(ii) agree and enter into any necessary further agreements with Allwyn in relation to the winner’s compliance with the required criteria and Allwyn’s provision of the prize (and what it is and is not responsible and liable for) and, where applicable, the winning Retailer’s obligations and responsibilities with respect to the prize including entering into a release form agreeing to provide Allwyn access to the Retailer’s team working at the winning Retailer’s store to photograph, film, conduct interviews and following and tell the Social Value £20,000 makeover journey for use in publicity in all media worldwide, and attending the National Lottery’s Big Bash event, taking place on Wednesday 4 December 2024 at the OVO Arena, Wembley (travel and accommodation will be at Allwyn’s reasonable expense); and
(iii) where the winner is determined to be an independent Retailer and where the Social Value £20,000 Makeover is to be undertaken, it is acknowledged and agreed by the applicable winner that the makeover element will be carried out by third party contracts (not Allwyn). Where works or services are to be carried by a third party, it is a pre-condition of Allwyn funding the prize that the winning Retailer enters into all the necessary agreements with the third parties. The applicable Winning independent UK National Lottery Retailer acknowledges and agrees that neither Allwyn nor the Promoter shall have any responsibility or liability in respect of the works, services, defaults and/or acts or omissions of any contractor undertaking all or part of the work.
Failure to enter the above agreements by the independent winner, where required, may disqualify the winner from their prize.
15) Before being eligible for any prize, a prospective winner will be required to be vetted by Allwyn before receiving their prize. If it is decided in Allwyn’s reasonable opinion that awarding a prize to a prospective winning Retailer may jeopardise the reputation of The National Lottery and/or Allwyn, the prospective winner will not be eligible and another winner may be selected in their place until a suitable winner is found.
16) Save with respect to the publicity obligations and their obligations with respect to the Social Value £20,000 Makeover, nominated Retailers are not expected to perform any additional obligations to those set out in their Retailer Agreement with Allwyn.
17) Winning Retailers should be aware that the prizes may constitute income for Retailers and accordingly, it is agreed by any winning Retailer that it is the Retailer’s responsibility to account for any taxes on any prizes received.
18) Allwyn reserves the right to suspend or cancel payment of any prize or deduct prizes from a Retailer’s virtual account at any time in the event of a miscalculation of a prize, a duplicate claim being made for a prize, a Retailer being found not to be eligible to participate, or as a result of any other act or omission that results in the incorrect payment of a prize. Allwyn will not be liable to the Retailer in relation to such incorrect payment.
19) The two top prize winners agree to their photo being taken, video content, and interview and follow up publicity participation being featured within Reach plc owned titles, and Allwyn owned channels, as well as attending The National Lottery’s Big Bash event referred to in paragraph 14 above.
20) Data will be solely used for administration of this competition
21) Standard Reach competition rules apply. Please see https://www.reachplc.com/site-services/terms-conditions. In the event of conflict between the Standard Reach competition rules and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
22) These Terms and Conditions shall prevail over any inconsistent terms or conditions
relating to the Promotion contained in or referred to in any other document.
23) The Promotion is governed by English law and entrants to the Promotion submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
