Top Nollywood filmmakers, led by respected Producer Patrick Doyle graced the Grand Launch of the innovative lotto service of Raffle Lottery Investment Limited and commended the depth of offering that the Lotto brings to the industry.
Doyle, a veteran and respected Nollywood producer, said that the offering has made him rethink getting involved in lotto staking.
“I had promised myself never to stake my money in any bet, but when the Owo-Ojojumo model was explained to me, I had to reconsider my stance. I now have committed to this lottery because of its model and the demography of people it is targeted at.”
Chairman of Raffle Lottery Investment Limited, Tayo Orekoya said the project is meant to help alleviate the living standard of the people and to give hope to the downtrodden.
“Owo-Ojojumo is a concept that we are grateful has finally come to light, many thanks to the Lagos Lottery Board for their support and certification. It is however built on the concept of having exposure to three levels of draws just from the only 200 naira spent on tickets.
“Our goal is to help extend the value a 200-naira ticket can give the ordinary guy on the street. First, it has the benefit of a daily draw, state-wide and a. national draw. There is also the opportunity of having a loyalty draw. Which goes ways beyond any existing lottery offering in the country.”
Orekoya said that winners in any of their draws are credited directly into their bank account as they are provided at the point of ticket sales along with their chosen six numbers, they are entering for the Lotto.
The Chief Executive Officer of RLI, Vincent Goldfinger said that the official maiden daily draw for the service would be held on Saturday, March 1st, 2025.
“We are ready with our partners and vendors are on standby too to begin the sales of the lottery ticket. The Lagos State Lottery Board, First Bank, Parallex Bank, and Globus Bank have all presently bought into the project and are ready for our formal rollout with us as well.”
Actors Yemi Blaq and Ayo Adesanya conducted the official first sale for the purchase of the Owo-Ojojumo 200 naira lottery ticket in Yemi Blaq as a vendor sold a ticket to Ayo Adesanya.
