Summary at a Glance

Chelsey was left bemused and asked for a further explanation, at which point the Tesco worker said: "Because your child has chosen two numbers, we can't serve you with them.".

"A person commits an offence if they invite or allow a child to enter a lottery other than certain classes of exempt lottery (ie: incidental non-commercial lotteries, private lotteries, work lotteries and residents’ lotteries).".

A MUM was left fuming after Tesco refused to sell her a scratch card due to their "child chosen" policy.

"If you get him to pick the numbers in earshot or view of a member of staff, it's classed as a proxy sale," another added.

Chelsey concluded her TikTok video by asking people what they think of the policy, to which she was inundated with responses from those insisting it's nothing new - in any supermarket.
