NLA HOLDS EASTER COMMUNITY DRAW IN KWAHU: DIRECTOR-GENERAL CAUTIONS PUBLIC AGAINST FRAUDSTERS
The NLA on Saturday, April 19, 2025 debut its 2025 Community Draw in Kwahu as part of the Easter celebration.
Mr. Abdul-Salam in his remarks at the Durbar grounds emphasized the transparency of Community Draws and explained the relocation of NLA's Draw machines from the Authority's Brennan Hall to a community, serving as a platform for the public to witness the Draw Process firsthand, dispelling any misconceptions about the NLA's Draws being manipulated.
Mr. Abdul-Salam also cautioned the public to be wary of lotto fraudsters, particularly on social media. He advised against falling prey to fraudsters who claim to possess leaked winning numbers in exchange for money, a deceitful practice that has victimized many. He took the opportunity to also urge patrons to share the obligation of responsible gaming by not overindulging to prevent addiction and ensuring that minors are not involved in playing the game.
As part of the visit and as a gesture of solidarity in accordance with the Arts and Culture Pillar of the NLA's Good Causes Foundation, a team, led by the Deputy Director-General, Mr. Eric Yeboah Wadie, presented items to the Kwahumanhene, Daasebre Akuamoah Boateng Ill and Nkwatiahene, Nana Boamah Ayiripe III., in support of the Easter festivities. The items included packs of water, cartons of drinks, and cash donations.
The NLA organizes Community Draws periodically to bring the lottery Draw process closer to the public and foster community engagement.
