What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling performance of a supplementary process at a point-of-sale terminal, comprising: receiving an override signal; and if the override signal indicates performance of a supplementary process, determining, by a point-of-sale terminal, an upsell in dependence on a purchase, determining, by the point-of-sale terminal, an upsell price in dependence on the purchase, offering to exchange the upsell price for the upsell, in which the upsell comprises an entry in a lottery in which a prize for winning the lottery is proportional to the upsell price, and outputting the entry. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: prior to receiving the override signal, disabling a system for providing the supplementary process. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising: enabling the system for providing a supplementary process if the override signal indicates performance of the supplementary process. 4. An apparatus for controlling performance of a supplementary process at a point-of-sale terminal, comprising: a storage device; and a processor connected to the storage device, the storage device storing a program for controlling the processor; and the processor operative with the program to: receive an override signal; and if the override signal indicates performance of a supplementary process, determine an upsell in dependence on a purchase, determine an upsell price in dependence on the purchase, and offer to exchange the upsell price for the upsell, in which the upsell comprises an entry in a lottery in which a prize for winning the lottery is proportional to the upsell price, and outputting the entry. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, in which the processor is further operative with the program to: prior to receiving the override signal, disable a system for providing the supplementary process. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, in which the processor is further operative with the program to: enable the system for providing a supplementary process if the override signal indicates performance of the supplementary process. 7. A computer readable medium storing instructions configured to direct a computing device to: receive an override signal; and if the override signal indicates performance of a supplementary process, determine an upsell in dependence on a purchase, determine an upsell price in dependence on the purchase, and offer to exchange the upsell price for the upsell, in which the upsell comprises an entry in a lottery in which a prize for winning the lottery is proportional to the upsell price, and outputting the entry. 8. The computer readable medium of claim 7, the instructions being further configured to direct the computing device to: prior to receiving the override signal, disable a system for providing the supplementary process. 9. The computer readable medium of claim 8, the instructions being further configured to direct the computing device to: enable the system for providing the supplementary process if the override signal indicates performance of the supplementary process.
