In an unprecedented move, Szerencsejáték Zrt. and Magyar Posta Zrt. have announced the opening of TWENTY NEW LOTTERY OUTLETS nationwide, with the inauguration of the FIRST OUTLET taking place in Nyíregyháza on Wednesday.

The grand opening of the lottery outlet, located within the city's largest postal building, was spearheaded by Andrea Mager, the President and CEO of Szerencsejáték Zrt. Mager emphasized that the new sales venues are being established in the twenty busiest post offices across the country. Customers can access lottery products in a SEPARATE POSTAL ROOM without the need to wait in the usual postal queues.
