17. Between 2009 and 2014 the Lottery Industry brought in N4.6 Billion
and no significant re-investment has been made in the NLRC to
expand and grow its Capacity and Capabilities to deliver results.
STATE LOTTERIES
18. States in the U.S. operate some kind of lottery, generating an
astounding $29 Billion, according to one of the leading US Gaming
Almanac, Casino Citys North American Gaming Almanac. However
research has shown that these leading Lottery Boards in these States
have invested between $20 $70Million in Lottery Regulatory
Platforms, Technologies and Capabilities and many of the Boards
were set up with a Take Off Grant of between $25Million - $100Million.
19. THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS MUST INVEST IN LOTTERY
REGULATORY INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPABILITIES;
a. The Ghanaian National Lottery Authority was established under
Act 722 (2006) and its supportive Legislative Instrument LI 1948
(Lotto Regulations 2008) to Regulate, Supervise, Conduct,
Manage and provide assistance to issues related to National
Lotto in Ghana. Originally established as the Department of
National Lotteries in 1958 with a Mandate to organize raffles for
the public to have fun and win prizes. In 1960, the Lotto and
Betting Act 94 was passed into law to start lottery in Ghana with
the aim of raising revenue to support the development of the
country.
b. Modern Automated National Lottery Platform begun in 2006. In
2006, the NLA introduced the automation machines that
generate the lottery tickets upon purchase. The system works
via GPRS (online). The acceptance of the automation
8
machines took a while for both the retailers and lotto stakers in
the first phase of implementation. The National Lottery Authority
received a significant Government investment Automation of
its Systems and Platform. Four years after the development of
the automation machines and platform, Ghana raked in the
highest revenue ever in its history as a result of the ongoing
Portable Automated Data Process Machine (PADPM) project
when the NLA sold up to GH5.5 million in a record week.
c. Such a significant IGR from National Lotteries is characteristic of
the global impact of Lottery IGRs. It is estimated that Global
National Lottery IGR may be as high as $250 Billion making (this
is discounting several Sub- national Lottery IGRs around the
world). This makes National Lottery IGR a formidable and
significant source of funding for several of the National Good
Causes and places imperatives for strategic review for a
country like the Federal Republic of Nigeria, considering the
fact that in 2014 Global FDI flows stood at $618.62bn.
