Not all shops located in phase 1 deconfining areas will be able to open as of Monday.

And it is that an internal letter sent by the direction of State Lotteries and Betting (Selae) to their sales network informs them that until May 18, at least, they will not be able to raise the blinds.

"When determining the resumption of activity in a society of the complexity and size of Selae, which markets its products nationally, we have taken into account the importance of a significant percentage of our network of sales ", indicates the document to which this medium has had access, since Barcelona and Madrid are not yet in this phase.

For this reason, they indicate that "for an orderly opening we need to make technological adjustments» linked to the "concretion of de-escalation", in addition to giving time to businesses and delegations to prepare "organizational aspects of health protection, logistics of attention to points of sale "and an informative campaign on the return to activity. This week they will dedicate themselves to putting these measures into action in order to open up with as many administrations as possible, for which two situations are being prepared.

In the first, it is expected to recover territories for phase 1 by May 18, which could have 72% of the operating points of sale. In this way, that day "the sale of all active games would begin. In the week of May 18 to 24, the Primitive Lottery and EuroMillions would be raffled. The drawings for Bonoloto and Gordo de la Primitiva would restart in the week of 25 to May 31 ».

The organization foresees that if on May 18 they do not have that 72% of points of sale in phase 1, on Thursday May 21 "the sale of all active games will begin, except in the case of EuroMillions that would start on day 23 May 2020. Draws for all active games will start on Monday May 25, 2020. "

A separate mention is the National Lottery that will be put on sale again the day the sale of active games begins. "The draws will resume from Thursday, June 11, given that due to the special idiosyncrasy of this product (returns, subscribers), it must be carried out with the largest mass of points of sale open," the statement said.
