Guinea’s National Lottery steps into 2026 with plans for new games and record wins
LONAGUI aims to engage bettors with expanded lottery formats, modernised games and life-changing jackpots.
Guinea.- The National Lottery of Guinea (LONAGUI) is kicking off 2026 with plans to expand its portfolio and elevate the gambling experience for bettors across the country. Executives recently met to discuss operations, logistics and strategies designed to make the year rewarding for players.
According to LONAGUI’s LinkedIn post, “proposals have been made in this direction to continue to offer our bettors the best of games and services”. Building on these proposals, LONAGUI has indicated intentions to further modernise its portfolio in 2026, reflecting the institution’s focus on improving operations and offering more engaging, diverse betting experiences.
This follows ongoing innovation in LONAGUI’s current offerings. Existing features like the Double Chance option for the 5/90 lottery, introduced in 2025, allow players to play two sets of numbers on a single ticket. The TacTac instant game provides quick results and jackpot opportunities, giving bettors additional ways to win.
LONAGUI’s Loto games, which are traditional number-draw lotteries where players select a set of numbers and win by matching the draw, remain a cornerstone of its portfolio. These products showcase the lottery’s commitment to modernising and diversifying its offerings, giving players more variety and chances to win.
Record jackpot highlights LONAGUI’s impact
LONAGUI’s dedication to life-changing wins was evident in late 2025. The lottery hosted a ceremony in Conakry to award a record jackpot of GNF1 640m (€160,720) to Boubacar Kouyaté, a mason from Coyah who won with a modest GNF35 000 (€3,430) stake.
The Director General, Mohamed Baba Sylla, described the moment as “a historic milestone” and highlighted its significance. “This record jackpot reflects the trust of our players and confirms that LONAGUI is a credible, rigorous institution that is close to its public,” said Sylla.
Kouyaté shared the impact of the win. “I thank LONAGUI for the transparency and professionalism with which it operates. This prize is a blessing for my family. Thanks to God, I will be able to build my house and secure the future of my children,” he said.
With ongoing innovations and expansions in 2026, and a proven track record of delivering thrilling jackpots, LONAGUI is positioning itself as Guinea’s premier destination for lottery and modern gaming. Bettors can look forward to exciting formats, additional ways to win and innovative experiences as the lottery builds on its momentum into the new year.
