☙ Troops located outside of the six county areas are welcome to join the lottery for locations that are destinations or places they would normally shop. (Ex: Bass Pro, Sam’s Club.) We ask that you otherwise enter the lottery in the businesses in your area; retailers want to support local troops. ☙ Not all the stores on the No Call list will be in the lottery. Additional stores may be offered in lotteries via email; this happens when stores commit after the electronic process. As stores are added we will notify the SU where they are located via email. After the lottery runs and the Product Program Team has reached out to the troops who did not “win” a choice, we will release what is called a First Come, First Serve (FCFS) schedule. This allows troops to pick up additional booths in a fair manner. Watch your email for a Cookiegram with the schedule. HOW TO ENTER THE BOOTH LOTTERY 1. Log in to Smart Cookies. 2. Hover over the booth tab and click on schedule booths. 3. Click on the location you’re interested in. 4. Click on the desired month and date. 5. Click save. To delete a selection, go to the My Reservations screen and delete them. You may enter up to three times. You can only earn a maximum of one time.
HOW THE LOTTERY WORKS ☙ The lottery will open in Smart Cookies on January 2 and close at 11:59pm on January 5, 2025. ☙ There is no advantage to what day you enter the lottery. ☙ No locations have been designated as “premium” in our lottery. 1. Troops enter up to three entries (defined as a location + date + time). 2. Troops can win one spot in the lottery. Not all troops will “win” a lottery choice. 3. Troops are notified, via email, if they won or lost. GSKSMO doesn’t get to write the automatic messages that you receive so here’s a few notes on them: ☙ If the troop isn’t awarded a booth your message will say to contact the council. You don’t need to do this, we’ll contact you! ☙ We realize that message of denial is a little crisp, remember we didn’t write it! ☙ Troops awarded a booth through the lottery or when the Product Program Team calls do not need to add the booth to Smart Cookies; they will be automatically added to Smart Cookies. ☙ While we are contacting troops the week of the lottery, the Cookie Booth function of Smart Cookies is not accessible by troops.
