Lotería de Guatemala started with the first digital lottery, which performs daily drawings and where participants can choose their lucky numbers. Last July 8, a Guatemalan woman became a millionaire by playing with only Q5.

"This is a sign of the seriousness, transparency and great attraction of the operation we lead in the country. We are happy to change the lives of people who have invested in their luck through our platform that generates so much benefit and social return," said Yossi Abadi, CEO of Tenlot, operator of the Guatemalan Lottery.

When the call was made to inform him that he had won Q1 million he did not believe it. Is this a joke? she said several times, as she never thought she would be the new millionaire in the country. The winner arrived in the company of her parents, and thanked the Lottery of Guatemala for this prize that comes to give a complete turn to their lives.

From Sunday to Friday the Lotomanía 5/40 drawings are televised by Guatevisión, the tickets to participate in these drawings can be purchased nationwide at Farmacenter, Meykos, Farmacias Galeno, Farmacias del ahorro, Super 7, Tiendas Shell Select, Tiendas Mass, street vendors throughout the country, regional and satellite markets, among others.

Loteria de Guatemala continues to operate the only scratch-off game in the country, Tirito de la Suerte, where instant cash prizes of up to Q 200 thousand can be won. This company also contributes as social support and development in the needy communities of the country.

Everyone who buys a Tirito de la Suerte or acquires a Lotomanía 5/40 ticket contributes to the reinvestment that Lotería de Guatemala makes in vulnerable populations, children, people with disabilities and the elderly.

"With Loteria de Guatemala we demonstrate that it is possible to win, that it pays and that it supports the best social causes. We are very excited to launch this first true electronic lottery in the history of Guatemala, and to see the life of a Guatemalan woman transformed," said Leo Karmel, Tenlot´s executive vice president for Latin America.
