Lotto
Gaming, one of the leading lottery companies in country, has disbursed a total
of about D4 million to various winners of its lottery since the company resumed
operations barely two months ago.
The
company made its latest disbursement on Thursday when it presented D162,000
cash to two jackpots winners at a ceremony held at its head office at
Westfield.
The
two lucky winners, Amadou Sey, a resident of Barra village, and Antony Mendy
from Kotu, received D81,000 each.
Speaking
at the presentation ceremony, Lotto Gaming’s senior marketing manager, Madam
Mbinko Jammeh Agha, said the latest disbursement was another achievement for
the company.
“We
will continue to do more and more because we want our customers to feel
comfortable and we want them to have more confidence in the company,” she said.
“As
we continue our business, so many surprises await our customers as we are
strategising to increase the winning chances of our customers and we will also
continue to pay bonuses.”
The
two latest winners, Amadou Sey and Antony Mendy, expressed delight in receiving
their jackpot payments, saying they have never received such amount of money
before.
Momodou
Kabiru Secca, strategic marketing manager of Lotto Gaming Gambia, said despite
the successes registered so far, the company is not relenting in its efforts to
make sure that the business continues to operate on a very strong footing.
“This
is why within a very short time we are able gave out close to D4 million,” he
said.
Muhammed
Kurubally, a staff of LGG posted at Barra, said he worked for the Gambia
National Lottery for many years but had never seen the manner at which Lotto
Gaming pays its customers.
“In
those days [the days of Gambia National Lottery], some of the winners were paid
in cheque and such cheques usually bounce.
This is the first time in The Gambia that a lottery company pays such a
magnitude of money in cash,” he said.
Alasana
Buso, LGG head of sales clerk, said: “I have been in this business since 1996
but I have never seen any company paying the way LGG is doing within a very
short time. This shows the seriousness
and commitment of Lotto Gaming.”
