Rwanda\u2019s national lottery, Inzozi Lotto, was launched in December 2021 by locally registered firm Carousel Ltd in partnership with the Ministry of Sports with a goal to help uplift professional sport in the country and benefit Rwandans participating in the lottery\u2019s games.<\/p>\n

Inzozi Lotto is very unique in a sense that participants stand big chances to grow their finances while revenues of the lottery are spent to promote sports in Rwanda. <\/p>\n

Individuals can participate through two games including {{Quick Lotto}}, where a player where one will be asked to choose one number within 35 (0 to 34) and precise the stake amount. The system draws a number and if you match it, you win 15 times tax exclusive of your stake. For instance, if your stake is Rwf5000, you can win up to Rwf75,000. The lotto takes place every 10 minutes with recommended stake amount ranging from Rwf300 and Rwf10,000.<\/p>\n

The second game is {{JackPot Lotto}} where the player selects a series of six numbers within a pool of 49 numbers that start from 1 to 49, to make it one combination.<\/p>\n

In Jackpot Lotto, tickets cost Rwf500 and each ticket has six digits.<\/p>\n

Players can either pick out the numbers themselves or have the system generate random numbers for them.<\/p>\n

To play Inzozi Jackpot Lotto, you need to pick six numbers (from 1 to 49) to make a line on your ticket.<\/p>\n

The winner receives Rwf5.5 million. <\/p>\n

The Deputy Managing Director of Carousel Ltd which manages Inzozi Lotto, Nshuti Thierry has said that the lotto has several advantages for Rwandans. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage people to participate in the lotto so that they can stand chance to win Rwf5.5 million that can transform their lives,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe more the number of participants increase, the more the grand prize increases, hence benefitting the winner and Rwanda\u2019s sports in general,\u201d added Nshuti. <\/p>\n

Rules stipulate that 47% of the stake amount is awarded to participants, 20% is invested in the development of sports, 18% is reserved for taxes while the remaining percentage is reserved for different activities of Inzozi Lotto. <\/p>\n
