The National Lottery Authority (NLA) announced on September 28 that it will stop all manual, paper-based lotto operations in Ghana starting October 1, 2026.

The NLA emphasized that operators failing to switch to digital methods by the deadline will not be allowed to continue their operations and could be penalized under the law.

They can reach out to regional or district office sales managers to initiate the registration process. Aisha Tackie has been designated as the primary contact for those seeking information on the LMC registration procedure, reachable at 0247 242 942.
