The Loto will increase to 30 rupees and the Loto+ to 20 rupees starting from December 18. The new jackpots will start at around 8 million rupees and 5 million rupees respectively. More chances, more dreams, more moments to enjoy 1. What is changing? For the first time since 2009, Lottotech is increasing the minimum jackpot, the match 3 winnings and the price per bet. • The Loto minimum jackpot will now start at around Rs 8 million (instead of Rs 5 million). • The Loto Plus minimum jackpot will now start at around Rs 5 million (instead of Rs 3 million). • The price per bet becomes Rs 30 for Loto and Rs 20 for Loto Plus. • The payout for 3 winning numbers increases to Rs 150 for Loto and Rs 100 for Loto Plus. 2. Why are these changes being made now? The price of a Loto bet has remained at Rs 20 since 2009, even as operational, technology, printing and logistics costs have steadily increased. Players have also expressed that a Rs 5 million starting jackpot is no longer as attractive as it was 16 years ago. This update allows us to refresh the game, offer a more exciting base jackpot and ensure that Loto remains sustainable and valuable for all players over the long term. 3. What are the benefits? For players: • Higher starting jackpots for both Loto and Loto Plus • Better value through improved prizes and a more sustainable game For retailers: • Higher jackpots usually boost participation • More sales opportunities and higher potential commissions For the country: • Increased participation means higher contributions to the Consolidated Fund and the National Solidarity Fund • More support for community, cultural, health, sports and environmental projects For NGOs: • More participation allows increased support to NGOs 4. Has the jackpot ever increased before? No. This is the first increase in the minimum Loto jackpot since 2009. 5. Are there changes to the rules or format? No. The draw process and all transparency measures remain the same. Only the minimum jackpot, price per bet and payout for 3 numbers have been updated. 6. How does this benefit Mauritius? Each draw contributes to government and community funds. A sustainable Loto ensures continued support to national initiatives while offering safe and responsible entertainment. 7. How will players be informed? Through: • Official press announcements • Lottotech’s website and social media • Communications in all authorised retail outlets Always refer to official Lottotech channels for accurate information. 8. If I played before the price change and won 3 numbers, do I get the new payout? No. New prices and payouts apply only to tickets played from 18 December onwards. 9. Are old coupons still valid?
