National Lottery Launches on CBE Self-Checkouts at Centra Summerhill
In a major development for the Irish retail sector, the National Lottery has officially entered the world of self-checkout, with the first live launch taking place this afternoon at Centra Summerhill, Co. Meath. The milestone marks the first time a symbol group—Centra—has made National Lottery games available directly through CBE Self-Checkouts, representing a significant step forward in enhancing customer convenience and streamlining the in-store journey.
With shopping behaviours continuing to evolve rapidly, retailers are increasingly turning to data-driven solutions to meet customer expectations. The integration of National Lottery games into self-checkout aligns perfectly with these trends, making it easier and faster for customers to complete their purchases while reducing queue times and freeing up staff for higher-value transactions.
A Collaborative Achievement
This project has been a major cross-functional effort within the National Lottery, supported by key partners across the retail technology ecosystem. CBE, Musgrave, and Open Answers all played essential roles in bringing the solution from concept to reality over the past year. A special thanks was extended to store owner Geoff Scally of Centra Summerhill for his continued support throughout the rollout.
“A Win for Retailers and Shoppers Alike”
Speaking about the launch, CBE CEO Dominic Feeney highlighted the importance of innovation that directly impacts both retailers and consumers:
“We are delighted to support the National Lottery’s move onto self-checkout and proud that the first live deployment is powered by CBE technology. This integration delivers real benefits for everyone involved. Customers gain a smoother, faster, and more flexible checkout experience, while retailers can drive increased revenue opportunities and operational efficiencies. It’s another example of how CBE is committed to enhancing the customer journey and supporting the evolving needs of modern retail.”
Driving the Future of Retail Convenience
As CBE continues to lead in retail and hospitality technology, this latest development reinforces the company’s mission to deliver innovative, secure, and customer-focused solutions. The introduction of National Lottery games at self-checkouts is expected to expand across additional stores in the coming months, paving the way for a more seamless and connected shopping experience nationwide.
