Lottery draws are now accessible online with live streaming, marking a major shift from the traditional paper-based lottery system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cabo Verde.- Cabo Verde Red Cross (CVCV)<\/strong>, the country\u2019s social lottery operator<\/strong>, has launched the nation\u2019s first fully digital lottery<\/strong>. The flagship game, ‘Totoloto’, and its complementary ‘Joker’ draw can now be played online<\/strong>, with live streaming giving players real-time access to results. After nearly two years of planning and testing<\/strong>, players across the island nation can place bets and follow draws as they happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digitalisation<\/strong> represents a “major shift<\/strong> from the previous system”, when players had to buy paper tickets at outlets and wait for results via television, radio or posted notices, according to a RTC Cabo Verde report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Totoloto allows players to pick numbers with prizes awarded for matching the draw, while Joker provides additional chances<\/strong> to win through a separate Joker number. CVCV said: \u201cOur goal is to make the lottery system fully accessible<\/strong> to all Cabo Verdeans, allowing them to participate safely and conveniently from their homes<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lottery faster and safer after digital upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both Totoloto and Joker are operated by CVCV as a social lottery, with proceeds funding humanitarian and community programs<\/strong> across Cabo Verde. The digital platform provides instant confirmations<\/strong>, live draw streaming and electronic prize processing<\/strong>, making participation faster, safer and more transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project faced early delays in December 2023, but by mid-2024, 90 per cent of the system was complete, leading to the launch of the online platform in June 2024. By September 2025, the digital lottery system is now considered fully operational<\/strong>, marking the culmination of an almost two-year transition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CVCV says ongoing digital upgrades will continue to improve accessibility<\/strong>, particularly for players on remote islands, and make the lottery more efficient and user-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n
