In a statement, it said persons with payments to the tune of ¢1,200 or less can redeem their cash instantly after a draw via USSD code *389*1000#.
To further boost the payment of wins, the NLA will also set up Prize Payment Centers at its Head Office and all its Regional and District Offices nationwide for the payment of wins by the end of March.
The Authority has between December 2021 and March 2022 also paid outstanding wins to the tune of ¢10.5 million and is seeking to clear all arrears by 30th March, 2022.
It thanked its cherished patrons and stakeholders for keeping faith with the Authority.
