LONATO\u2019s new Sunday game offers faster same-day payouts, expanding convenience for qualifying lottery winners across Togo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Togolese Republic.- The Togolese Republic\u2019s National Lottery (LONATO) is offering same-day Sunday payouts<\/strong> of up to CFA500,000 (US$762) through its recently launched Loto D\u00e9tente, allowing qualifying winners to collect their prizes at sales points shortly after the draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONATO unveiled Loto D\u00e9tente on July 30 as its first dedicated Sunday draw<\/a>, with the inaugural draw taking place on August 2 and expanding its weekly lottery schedule to 14 draws. The game has now progressed beyond its launch, with LONATO promoting a third Loto D\u00e9tente draw, confirming that the Sunday offering has moved into its recurring format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key feature is the same-day payout facility. Winners of prizes not exceeding CFA500,000 can collect their money directly from LONATO sales points<\/strong> around 15 minutes after the Sunday draw, while larger prizes must be collected from a LONATO agency or the General Management from Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONATO Marketing and Innovation director Kokouvi Am\u00e9dom\u00e9 said, according to Afrikdepeche: \u201cJust after 4 pm, just 15 minutes after the draw, you can go to a point of sale to withdraw your money.\u201d The arrangement means qualifying winners do not have to wait for LONATO agencies to reopen on Monday to access their prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loto D\u00e9tente produces 10 winning numbers<\/strong> from the traditional 90-ball format and includes the Double Chance option, under which players can win when their selected numbers appear in either the first or final five numbers drawn. The game also includes the Turbo option, which can multiply a normal win by up to 10 times, according to Am\u00e9dom\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minimum stake is CFA100 (US$0.15), with players able to use established betting options including Naps, Permutations and Bankers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loto D\u00e9tente follows LONATO\u2019s earlier expansion of its lottery portfolio, including the introduction of Loto Matinal in 2024. The Sunday draw brings the operator\u2019s total number of weekly lottery draws to 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
