As part of the plan, LONATO is upgrading approximately <strong>900 terminals to TS10 units<\/strong>, featuring integrated 24-hour batteries and multiple connectivity options, including <strong>2G, 3G, 4G<\/strong> and GPRS networks with dual SIM capability. Over the next five years, up to 5,000 terminals will be deployed nationwide, <strong>expanding access to lottery games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A<strong> key improvement<\/strong> is the accelerated announcement of <strong>daily draw results<\/strong>. With the new infrastructure, results are now published within <strong>five minutes<\/strong> of ticket sales closing, reducing wait times and increasing transparency. LONATO said, according to Togo First: \u201cThe new terminals will not only <strong>speed up results<\/strong> but also make playing the lottery easier and more<strong> accessible<\/strong> to every corner of Togo.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LONATO continues to innovate its offerings, including <strong>Loto Matinal<\/strong>, a daily draw introduced in 2024, and <strong>Loto Turbo<\/strong>, featuring two draws per day, providing more chances to win while keeping ticket prices accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boosting revenue and driving digital inclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The modernisation also complements the <strong>government\u2019s broader agenda <\/strong>for economic growth and digital inclusion. Minister of Digital Economy, <strong>Kodjo Adedze<\/strong>, said, according to TechAfrica: \u201cThrough these initiatives, we aim to strengthen <strong>national revenue<\/strong> while providing a modern, transparent lottery experience.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these upgrades, LONATO is not only modernising infrastructure but also reinforcing its role in <strong>national development<\/strong>. The digital transformation is expected to strengthen player engagement, boost revenues and pave the way for a more transparent lottery system.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/06\/lonaci-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/west-african-lotteries-unite-in-lonacis-cross-border-lottery-initiative-tce-2025'>West African Lotteries unite in LONACI\u2019s cross-border lottery initiative TCE 2025<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New terminals, faster draws and innovative games enhance accessibility, revenue and digital inclusion nationwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2809,"featured_media":10270,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The Loterie Nationale du Togo (LONATO) is implementing a five-year modernization plan, deploying up to 5,000 new TS10 terminals and introducing innovative game verticals, aligning with the Togo Digital 2025\u20132030 strategy.
