The NLA 5/90 Lotto Game is Liberia’s flagship national lottery game, introduced and regulated by the National Lottery Authority (NLA) to generate lawful revenue, create jobs, and contribute to national development programs. It is part of the broader effort to modernize the country’s gaming industry while ensuring fairness, transparency, and responsible participation.

The 5/90 Lotto is one of the most popular formats in Africa. In the game, players select five numbers from a pool of 90, and winnings are determined based on how many numbers match those drawn in official daily draws. Draws are held Monday to Saturday, with multiple opportunities to win each day. To operate the NLA 5/90 Lotto, the NLA partnered with Blue Star Hi-Tech Liberia Limited, granting the company the exclusive right to manage and run the game. This collaboration supports the Authority’s goals of enhancing national revenue and promoting economic activity through employment and community engagement.

Players can participate by purchasing tickets through authorized point-of-sale (POS) agents across the country. Winners may collect prizes through mobile money services or directly from designated collection points as outlined by the Authority. Beyond entertainment, the 5/90 Lotto Game is designed to support social programs, charitable initiatives, and community development by channeling a portion of the revenue into government-backed development agendas and welfare initiatives.
