Ghana.- Ghanaian football fans<\/strong> now have the chance to turn a small stake<\/strong> into the ultimate prize by witnessing the FIFA World Cup 2026 <\/strong>live. The National Lottery Authority<\/strong> (NLA) and gaming company Rambell<\/strong>, in partnership with the Ghana Football Association<\/strong> (GFA), launched the \u201cWorld Cup Bonanza\u201d on November 4, a nationwide lottery-style raffle<\/strong> designed to give 220 lucky participants<\/strong> an unforgettable fan experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The promotion<\/strong> officially kicked off at the GFA headquarters in Accra, combining the excitement <\/strong>of lottery gaming with the thrill of football.

Fans can participate by dialling the USSD code 899899#<\/strong> and paying GHC20 (\u20ac2)<\/strong> to enter for a chance to win flights, free accommodation, match tickets for Ghana\u2019s games and visa application support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the launch, GFA President Kurt Okraku<\/strong> emphasised the initiative\u2019s importance in connecting the national team with its supporters. “This is the second time after we failed to qualify in 2018, and we are back to where we belong in world football.

NLA transparency and oversight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NLA Director-General Mohammed Abdul Salam<\/strong> emphasised transparency<\/strong> in the gaming process, assuring participants that the raffle is fully supervised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
