State lottery operator highlights seasonal Easter campaign as digital lottery sales and mobile wallet access expand across Ethiopia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethiopia.- The Ethiopian Lottery Service <\/strong>(ELS) has promoted an Easter-themed raffle offering prizes of up to Br10m (\u20ac56,212), highlighting how seasonal campaigns are being used to boost participation in the country’s state-run lottery market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The promotion was highlighted in a post shared by the ELS, presenting the Easter lottery as an opportunity for players<\/strong> to take part in a festive draw linked to the holiday celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the post, the Easter raffle<\/strong> could award a “first prize of Br10m (\u20ac56,212)”, followed by a second prize of Br7m (\u20ac39,349) and a third prize of Br3.5m (\u20ac19,674). The campaign also references additional rewards including villas, cars and other prizes, alongside smaller prize tiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethiopia\u2019s lottery sector has also been expanding digitally<\/strong>, with lottery services recently integrated into mobile wallets such as Coopay E-birr to broaden access to players. The move follows the launch of digital lottery sales through Coopbank\u2019s mobile wallet<\/a>, allowing customers to purchase tickets via banking and mobile payment channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easter remains one of the most widely observed holidays<\/strong> in Ethiopia, where many Christians follow the calendar of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
