MillionsLotto, a brand new lotto with a minimum jackpot close to a billion naira (£2,120,060) is to be launched in support of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubs by the League Management Company (LMC) in partnership with British-based Ofertas365.
The lotto, due to be live later this month, has the largest jackpots in all of Africa.
All 20 NPFL clubs are to be branded with their own page on the Afro millions website where people can buy tickets online for the twice-weekly draws, as well as enjoy a range of Instant Win games.
LMC Chairman, Shehu Dikko said: “The LMC bought into this partnership because of its realistic potential to revolutionise our clubs' commercial operations, thanks to the money lotto will bring in. Lotto has proven to be extremely successful with English Premier League clubs and we hope to replicate its success here in Nigeria.”
James Leppard, CEO of Ofertas365, added: "We are delighted to work with Africa's largest and most prestigious football league in launching AfroMillionsLotto, which will offer players, whether they are football fans or not, the ability to win truly life-changing jackpots."
