This section is a simulation of what the end user
would see when checking his or her prize forecast
and/or what he or she could have received in
previous expired draws by means of the free Shop2Win
lottery bets on his or her card. As we know, they
will obtain points when using their cards for any
transactions or services with the operator.
Shop2Win
will, therefore, reward their permanent loyalty.
This is a general example and it can be applied to
any sector. The principle aim is to show how
cardholders check their points. In this example,
he/she can check them
as often as he/she likes.
Thus, it provides the operator with useful
information about the consumption-loyalty of its
clients. |
The design of this hypothetical website is just an example
and it is not what the cardholders will be actually
checking.
In
fact, they will check this information through the
operatorīs own corporate image site.
In the same way, the final appearance of the website
will be totally different since they will be specially
designed for the operatorīs corporate image and they will
include details related to that particular sector. Some
examples: in banking, cardholders will be able to see
the amount of points obtained alongside their bank statement, in
petrol stations, they can check every time they get
petrol, in distributors, this can be done whenever
the cardholder goes shopping, for phone stores,
the total time of phone calls will provide them with the
points they get, when buying newspapers they will get
coupons indicating points, also when buying other
products (dairy products, etc) as well as for cinema
tickets for instance when talking about a leisure sector
operator, etc.
In order to provide an example of what the Shop2Win
cardholder could see when checking the prize forecasts we
have to bear in mind different factors: the accumulated
points, the number of points of the people in the syndicate that
they belong to, etc. Therefore, we need to set up a list of
rules for this specific simulation. Letīs say for instance
that:
|
The
points obtained per day are valid for 7 days |
|
If
the cardholder does not get any points for seven days, then he or she
does not qualify for prize-giving in the next draw. They will not enter
the prize-giving unless at least 1 point is obtained.
Thus, other people in the group share bigger prizes |
|
Each
group is made up of 100 cardholders |
|
The
permanent free bets on this card are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
10
Lotto (5 twice
a week) |
5 EuroMillions |
|

|
Previous National Lottery draws have
already taken place and therefore we know the
prize they would have received and we also know
the amount of points each cardholder had; that
is why we can provide an exact calculation of
what they could have won.
However, forthcoming National Lottery
draws and the forecast of points per
cardholder are mere estimates. Therefore, we
provide the best forecast possible: an
average of The National Lottery prizes
and jackpots. These approximate calculations
are done and updated daily in order
to make them as real as possible. But still,
they are just estimates which can easily vary
depending on cardholderīs consumption and
therefore affect the share of the prize. |

When checking, cardholders will get the following
