Retailer Spotlight - Paul's Discount Tobacco

The lottery is a key draw for old and new customers at Paul’s Discount Tobacco in Pine Bluff. The team’s dedication to going the extra mile for their players keeps them coming back.

“The lottery sells itself,” said Paul Hutson, president of Paul’s Discount Tobacco. “We have customers who come in just to play the lottery.”

While many of these customers have been regulars for nearly twenty years, Paul and his team never take them for granted. Instead, they often go out of their way to create a convenient lottery experience. Although it’s extra work, their dedication plays a key role in the store’s success.

“It’s important to accommodate the players,” Paul said. 

Of course, Paul and his team are just as eager to assist the brand-new players drawn in by high jackpots.

“We always try to help them out,” Paul said. The team usually explains ticket prices, draw game dates, prizes and how multipliers can increase their winnings.

With his team’s guidance, Paul hopes these players will become regular customers.
