Dollarama, a Canadian dollar store, is now selling lottery tickets.

But the process is torturous, to say the least. 

You can by a lottery ticket, but I was told that you can't buy a lottery ticket in a transaction with any other merchandise. Also, if you are buying two tickets for two different lotteries, e.g. Lotto Max and Lotto 649, the tickets must be on separate transactions.

If the intent is to NOT sell tickets, this is the right way to go about it.

Any time you make it hard for the customer to give you money, they'll find another way to buy what they want.
