As another year begins I want to take a little time and review all the opportunities available to you, the retailer, to earn extra incentives
through our Retailer Performance Program. Everyone has a lot going on and I want to make sure you don't miss out. We all know about the
commission you receive for simply selling Lottery tickets, but are you familiar with the other incentives we offer throughout the year?

The easiest opportunity is our Winning Ticket Incentive. Every Lottery ticket you sell could be your key
to extra money. You will earn up to 2% of the prize amount for each and every winning ticket you sell that
wins $600 or more (maximum retailer payout of $100,000 per ticket). The more tickets you sell, the better
chance you have of getting extra payouts throughout the year.

                                                                                                             Bob & Steve's, Menomonie

Next let's talk about Short Term Incentives.
The Lottery introduces a variety of short term incentives each year. What you can earn and how you
earn changes, but the concept is similar for each; meet the participation requirements, reach the
goal, and earn cash or merchandise.

Here are a few past, present, and future examples of how they work:
  • "Holiday 2018 Incentive": Earn a $10 incentive for every winner of $30 or more from the
		 $15 Holiday Countdown ticket (Oct. 19th - Nov. 10th).
  • "Read to Win" (currently running): Answer questions based on what you read in our
		  Connection newsletter. Submit your answers and we will draw winners each month
		 and deliver prizes. Prizes vary from month to month.
  • "Multiply Your Earnings" (coming in March): Earn $5 per winning ticket at
		 various prize levels on our upcoming Multiplier Family of Games tickets.
		 Ask your Field Marketing Rep for details.
  • "10 Buck Luck 2019" (coming in May): Earn the equivalent of triple
		 commission for selling the 10 Buck Luck lotto ticket combo.
This is just a small sample and we are always thinking of new ways to reward you, our
retailers, for all your hard work.

Now let's review the 2 types of Sales Increase Incentives offered each year.
First, the Quarterly Incentive (available 4 times a year) may pay up to 2% on any
increase of instant and daily lotto sales compared to the previous quarter. Second,
the Annual Incentive may pay up to 10% of incremental sales increase if your location
had a sales increase over the prior year by selling category; instant, daily lotto, or jackpot.

To get signed up for Short Term Incentives or for more details, talk to your
friendly Field Marketing Representative about these exciting programs.

Wishing you a safe and prosperous New Year!

We're heading up north this month to the unincorporated community of Heafford Junction in the Town of Bradley, Lincoln
County, nine miles north of Tomahawk. Heafford Junction is in the middle of a prime Wisconsin recreational area with six lakes
located within a five-mile radius, the largest being Lake Nokomis with over 2,200 acres. The total area of the chain of lakes here
covers over 5,000 acres and is known for some of the best Musky fishing in the State.

Our Retailer of the Month, Kracker Barrel, serves local customers and seasonal visitors with a great selection of products and
services including groceries, video, bait & tackle, wine & spirits, DNR licenses, an ATM, US Postal services and of course, Lottery
tickets. Kracker Barrel does a great job with social media and their Facebook page by sharing stories of local interest, showing
appreciation for their customers, advertising product specials and informing their Lottery players about big jackpots.

The Lottery display at Kracker Barrel includes a 16-game in-counter dispenser and additional cubes for a total of 19 facings. All
scratch ticket price points are represented in the display with the $20 and $5 tickets being most popular. These two price points
are so popular, they account for over 56% of their scratch ticket sales.

If you can't make it to Heafford Junction in person to visit Kracker Barrel then check out their Facebook page at:
https://www.facebook.com/KrackerBarrel. It's a great way to connect with customers and Lottery players!
