In partnership with the National Lottery Authority a new lottery operative called "Wotiriye" has introduced an exciting mobile phone-based game called; *787#. The goal of this game is to simplify the experience of playing the lottery.

Anyone over 18 with a mobile phone can play - and they do not even need to have an expensive phone because the game works with any type of mobile phone.

Followers who want to play and win big at their own convenience simply have to dial *787# and follow the prompts on their mobile phones. There is a small fee of 5.00 cedis to play, and participants can win from 6 different prize categories with weekly wins of up to 20,000 cedis and a jackpot that will start at 50,000 cedis.

The game is played through the draw of random numbers and winners are determined by matching the selected digits with parts of their mobile phone numbers. The game has already run in a pilot program in certain parts of the country, and has been very well received.
