Goa is set to introduce a fully online lottery on November 18th, becoming one of the first Indian states to do so.
According to The Times of India, this initiative, a collaboration between Rhiti Sports and Dusane Infotech, aims to enhance transparency and accessibility in the lottery system, promising a bumper prize exceeding Rs50 crore ($5.9 million), with the inaugural draw set to take place on November 24th.
The online lottery, named “Great Goa Games,” is designed to be entirely paperless, moving away from the traditional paper-based lottery prevalent in over 12 states. The platform aims to engage a wide audience, including those from various socioeconomic backgrounds.
Rhiti Sports stated that over 50 percent of the funds collected will be returned as prizes, with the lottery also providing educational resources on responsible gambling to inform participants about the risks and rewards.
