Internet lottery sales skyrocket due to the pandemic
More and more bettors are choosing not to go to their lottery administration, in our case, to number 51 of Hermanos Felgueroso Avenue, in Gijón, and prefer to validate their tickets through the La Bola de Cristal website or other alternatives, such as the official website of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (if you search for us in the receiver code 35520 you will be helping us) or applications such as Tu Lotero.
According to the online platform Lotopia, online sales have skyrocketed at the same time as physical sales have fallen sharply. Lucía Pascual, general manager of this online lottery portal, recently stated in a statement published by the newspaper Bolsamanía that "it is clear that lottery sales in physical lottery offices have fallen a lot, at Christmas up to 45 percent, however, online sales have increased by up to 50 percent".
Among the advantages of buying tickets online is that the consumer has more numbers to choose from, although there are many others in this article.
The National Grouping of Provincial Associations of Lottery Administrations (Anapal) warned in October last year that the State would stop collecting around 1,200 million euros in sales from the Christmas Lottery in 2020. Anapal justified these devastating figures in the collapse caused by the fall in productivity in certain activities in which the sale of tickets is a tradition, in reference to sports centres, associations, companies or social organisations.
Currently, only around 800 of the more than 4,100 lottery administrations in Spain have the necessary infrastructure to offer tickets over the Internet. In our case, we also implemented the Bizum payment system months ago. This new functionality allows, by means of a QR code, to pay in person through the bank"s application on our mobile device.
The director of Bizum, Ángel Nigorra, points out that his company"s commitment is "to make progress so that users can carry out their transactions quickly, conveniently and securely at more and more moments in their daily lives".
We encourage you to validate your bets on this website. It"s all advantages.
