An Asda store has suspended selling lottery tickets after a boy bought a scratchcard - despite being 11 years below the legal age limit. Ronnie Retallick, seven, was allowed to purchase the ticket while visiting a branch.
The minimum legal age to buy National Lottery products is 18. Dad James Fletcher-Retallick, 47, was left fuming and complained - prompting lottery operators Camelot to take action.
It is understood the Asda store has been given a three-month lottery suspension, of which one month has already been served. The supermarket chain confirmed National Lottery services at the store in Folkestone, Kent will be "temporarily" unavailable.
