Coalition of Lotto Operators, Agents and Writers Association (CLOAWA) is unhappy with the decision by the National Lottery Authority (NLA) to roll out multiple daily draws, seven days a week.

According to the association, the multiple draws can potentially force several NLA Licensed Private Operators (LPOs) out of business since they may not have the capacity to pay wins many times in a day.

This, they say can lead to many Lotto Writers losing their jobs, jobs that enable them to make an honest living.

In a statement, the Coalition of Lotto Operators, Agents and Writers Association (CLOAWA) added that the unemployment situation in Ghana is already perilous and any action by Government Agencies especially to aggravate the situation will amount to gross insensitivity and abuse of power.

They also accused the NLA of taking this decision without consulting them. They said the NLA by taking this unilateral decision has therefore broken the trust and goodwill that exists between it and them.

The statement signed by the Secretary of the Coalition of Lotto Operators, Agents and Writers Association (CLOAWA), Richard Asiedu urged the NLA to suspend the introduction of the daily multiple draws to deepen further engagements with industry stakeholders with the hope of coming up with a homegrown product instead of the one-size-fit approach imported from elsewhere.
