The game rules require players to scratch off sections and match three identical car symbols to win the top prize.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ceremony included attendees such as Pierre Alain Kouassi, Director of Sales and Network Management; Awa Diomand\u00e9, the Mon Auto Product Manager; the President of the LONACI dealer mutual; business partners; journalists; and Ousmane&#8217;s relatives and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cheick Oumar Diarra<\/strong>, LONACI&#8217;s Director of Marketing and Customer Experience, presented the keys on behalf of Director General <strong>Dramane Coulibaly<\/strong>.

He said: \u201cMany didn&#8217;t believe it. Today, thanks to my daughter, I am happy. This win gives me hope again.\u201d For an everyday worker in the city, the car provides a practical advantage and a brighter outlook on life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LONACI introduced Mon Auto on <strong>June 27, 2025<\/strong>, alongside another scratch game named Villa Dor\u00e9e. The company views these lottery titles as a direct means to reward players while also contributing to local economic growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ousmane&#8217;s win will undoubtedly boost sales of Mon Auto tickets as people aim to replicate his luck and drive off into the sunset in their own new car.<\/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\/04\/Philippines-lottery-versus-online-cockfighting-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\/lonagui-rolls-out-double-chance-feature-to-boost-lottery-5-90-wins-in-guinea'>LONAGUI rolls out \u201cDouble Chance\u201d feature to boost Lottery 5\/90 wins in Guinea<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONACI introduced Mon Auto on June 27, 2025, alongside another scratch game named Villa Dor\u00e9e.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2395,"featured_media":10610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"LONACI, the national lottery operator of C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, has successfully executed the first car prize handover for its Mon Auto scratch game, a Suzuki Fronx valued at 13 million FCFA, just two months post-launch.
