The National Lottery Authority (NLA) is the biggest and largest regulatory body for all lottery agencies in Ghana. In Ghana, there are a number of companies that run lottery schemes but the NLA is the biggest among them all.
Lotto, as most people call it in Ghana, has been with us for a long time. Although most people see it to be a “get-rich-quick” scheme, most people also see it as a game that can have any outcome, just that it involves money.
For ages, many people have been staking the lotto with the aim of landing the biggest payout and then stopping. But as you and I know, the chances that you will land that big payout are very slim.
The world is gradually changing from the analog processes to the digital era and it’s either you join or be left behind. As a result, the NLA has developed a USSD shortcode where people can sit in the comfort of their homes and stake their lotto.
