The National Lottery Authority (NLA) says it is continuing with the payment of all outstanding lotto wins which started last year.
Last Thursday, the Authority disbursed over GHC2million to all partner banks for payment of unpaid lotto wins, and is committed to clearing the arrears within the next few weeks.
NLA in a press statement expressed appreciation to its patrons and stakeholders for keeping faith with the Authority.
“The Authority remains committed to its mandate to create moments of hope and happiness through exciting lottery games and to generate revenue for national development,” it said.
Payments
KGL Technology Limited, a licensed online lotto marketing company operating the *959#, reached an agreement with the National Lottery Authority (NLA) to pay all outstanding lottery winners.
According to a statement from the NLA, the non-payment of outstanding wins had become a worrying situation for lotto marketing companies and the industry as a whole, adding that the support from KGL Technology Limited would help calm nerves and reduce the tension at the Authority.
In December 2021, the Authority released GHC5million to pay patrons their outstanding lotto wins.
