The National Lottery Authority (NLA) has awarded an amount of ¢25,000 to the first winner of its Daywa 5/39 weekly raffle.

Esther Frimpong, based in Accra was declared the winner and presented with the cash prize at the NLA's Brennan Hall.

The Weekly Raffle was launched in order to reward one lucky player per week with a guaranteed cash prize of ¢25,000 and will be held every Friday just after the Daywa 5/39 draw.

The mechanics of the new weekly raffle are straight forward: players simply play the regular Daywa 5/39 game, which costs as little as ¢2 and can yield rewards of over ¢100,000 should all 5 selected numbers from 1 to 39 be drawn.

Every bet line, at the cost of ¢2 each, when played during the entire week automatically creates one raffle entry.

This means that players who have staked higher amounts during the week also have a higher chance to win the raffle.

Daywa 5/39 is played on any mobile phone by dialing *446#, on the www.daywa-nla.com website/App and at selected LMCs nationwide.

NLA’s Daywa 5/39 game is running collaboration with Luck Web, which is part of the international gaming Group, TENLOT.

"The goal is to provide an exciting and rewarding lottery experience and by doing so, NLA is able to fulfill the dream of many Ghanaians for a better life”, said TENLOT CEO, Yossi Abadi.

We are very excited to crown a winner every week and also award ¢25,000, in addition to other big jackpot winners," he added.
