The launch of the Uganda National Lottery heralded a new era of hope and transformative change for Ugandans. With an initial investment of USD 14 million, ITHUBA Uganda aimed to provide a platform that not only offered the chance to change individual lives but also promised to significantly bolster national revenue and drive economic growth.
The official launch marked a pivotal opportunity for individual Ugandans and the nation as a whole. By generating significant revenue, the National Lottery will support key sectors such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and sports, ensuring continuous investment in Uganda's sustained development.
"Each game presents a distinct opportunity to dream, participate, and potentially transform lives, offering excitement and the chance to win with every ticket," said Michelle Van Trotsenburg, Head of Marketing and Corporate Affairs at ITHUBA. The lottery, which began operations in June, included popular games such as LOTTO, POWERBALL, DAILY LOTTO, and SPORTSTAKE 10, with an estimated UGX 2.8 billion in jackpots up for grabs.
