Benin.- The National Lottery of Benin (LNB) has publicly presented a CFA20,744,100 (€31,600) prize to a bettor, highlighting the transparency of its prize payment system through a public ceremony.
The winner, Behanzin Eude, collected his cheque at the recent prize ceremony after correctly predicting the results of the PMU Quinté+ horse-race betting game. Around CFA40m (€61,000) had been at stake in the pari-mutuel race bet, with two bettors sharing the jackpot.
The prize ceremony was held in Bohicon in the presence of officials from LNB and members of the public. The event aimed to reaffirm the credibility of the winnings system and demonstrate the lottery’s commitment to transparency and the effective payment of prizes.
Officials from the regional Zou-Collines agency congratulated the winner and reiterated the operator’s commitment to ensuring fair payouts while contributing to national development.
Speaking during the ceremony, winner Behanzin Eude said: “I have been playing PMU for a long time. I did not know that this would be my lucky day. When the lottery announced the results, I jumped with joy with my son. Today, I am really happy.”
The National Lottery of Benin also announced that the second winner from the same Quinté+ draw will receive their cheque during a public ceremony scheduled in Cotonou.
