The National Lottery Authority (NLA) has announced a new threshold payment limit of GHS5,000.

The new payment limit is the reviewed amount from an initial GHS12,000.

With the new threshold payment limit, the NLA has resumed operations of the Fast-Pay Platform with its partner banks.

A statement signed by the Head of the Public Relations Unit of the Authority indicated that “the payment policy is aimed at minimising inconveniences to winners of small prizes, who have to travel to the NLA offices to register their wins due to the current arrangements of thorough validation and investigations of big winning tickets.”

The NLA urged the staking public “to communicate all payment challenges through the Treasury Managers or Account Officers for redress.”
