LONATO Adds Same-Day Payouts to Sunday Lotto
New Sunday Game Speeds Up Payouts
Togo’s National Lottery (LONATO) now offers same-day Sunday payouts. Winners can collect up to CFA500,000 (US$762) shortly after each draw. This new feature comes through LONATO’s recently launched Loto Détente game. Qualifying winners can collect their prizes at sales points right after the draw.
LONATO unveiled Loto Détente on July 30. This marked the operator’s first dedicated Sunday draw. The inaugural draw took place on August 2. As a result, LONATO’s weekly lottery schedule expanded to 14 draws total. The game has since moved beyond its launch phase. LONATO recently promoted a third Loto Détente draw. This confirms the Sunday offering has become a regular, recurring format.
Same-Day Payouts Simplify the Process
A standout feature of Loto Détente is its fast payout system. Winners with prizes up to CFA500,000 can collect their money quickly. They simply visit a LONATO sales point about 15 minutes after the Sunday draw. However, larger prizes require a different process. Winners must collect these from a LONATO agency or General Management starting Monday.
LONATO Marketing and Innovation director Kokouvi Amédomé explained the system clearly. According to Afrikdepeche, he said: “Just after 4pm, just 15 minutes after the draw, you can go to a point of sale to withdraw your money.” This arrangement offers real convenience. Winners no longer need to wait until Monday for agencies to reopen.
How Loto Détente Works
Loto Détente draws 10 winning numbers from the traditional 90-ball format. The game also includes a Double Chance option. This lets players win if their numbers appear in either the first or final five numbers drawn. In addition, the game offers a Turbo option. This feature can multiply a normal win by up to 10 times, according to Amédomé.
Players can join for a minimum stake of just CFA100 (US$0.15). The game also supports established betting formats. These include Naps, Permutations, and Bankers, giving players flexible ways to play.
Part of a Growing Lottery Portfolio
Loto Détente builds on LONATO’s ongoing portfolio expansion. The operator previously introduced Loto Matinal back in 2024. With this latest addition, LONATO’s total weekly lottery draws now reach 14. This growth reflects the operator’s push to offer more frequent, convenient gaming options across Togo.
