DLB launches ‘Wasi’ digital lottery with Rs. 1m jackpot

The Development Lotteries Board (DLB) has introduced its second digital lottery, Wasi, featuring a substantial Rs. one million jackpot, alongside other enticing prizes such as electric motorcycles. This seven-day lottery, which commenced on September 10, is designed to appeal to younger consumers who are more engaged with digital platforms.

The inaugural draw, named Raja Wasi, is scheduled for October 1. The lottery can be purchased via the DLB Sweep App or as a printed ticket for Rs. 40. The draw will be conducted using a fully computerised ball-selection system, where two winning numbers, a Super Number, and an English letter are selected in each draw. Participants who match all three components can win the Super Jackpot of Rs. one million, while those who match the numbers and the English letter can opt for either Rs.

500,000 or an electric motorcycle, based on their preference. Additional prizes include Rs. 50,000 for matching the Super Number and two winning numbers, as well as smaller cash prizes ranging from Rs. 40 to Rs. 25,000 for various winning combinations. The first Raja Wasi draw will also include an additional electric motorcycle and cash prizes up to Rs.

25,000 for special winning numbers. The entire draw will be conducted using computer technology and broadcast through the DLB Lottery Show YouTube channel, with a summary programme telecast in Sinhala on the National Rupavahini Channel at 9 pm and the official results broadcast in Tamil on the Nethra channel at 9.30 pm. The DLB, a state-owned enterprise, emphasizes that its operations continue to support national causes, including healthcare through the President’s Fund and higher education through the Mahapola Higher Education Fund.
