The National Lottery Authority (NLA), supported by the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Defense and the Veterans Administration Ghana (VAG), has successfully launched VAG Lotto and Super 6 Jackpot Games in Accra yesterday.

The event was well attended by the Board Members, management and staff of the NLA, the Board and management of VAG, lotto marketing companies, private lotto operators, lotto forecasters, veterans and host of other important dignitaries.

The Guest of Honour for the programme was Dominic Nitiwul, Defense Minister, who said one of the biggest achievements of President Akufo-Addo’s government was the NLA/VAG collaboration.

He said, as part of the benefits of the NLA/VAG collaboration, eight buses had been procured for the veterans, the Head Office of VAG has been refurbished, and the construction of the Military Sports Complex in Tamale is partly sponsored by the NLA/VAG collaboration.

NLA/VAG Lotto would immediately create 10,000 jobs across the country. In effect, illegal lottery operations would be a thing of the past.

The Defense Minister noted that any private lotto operators, agents and writers who operate outside the NLA/VAG collaboration would be dealt with in accordance with the law.

The NLA VAG Lotto was officially launched by the Defense Minister on behalf of President Akufo-Addo.
