Premier Lotto
Premier Lotto, also known as Baba Ijebu Lotto, is the oldest in Nigeria, having registered in 2001. It is a game that is drawn once every day and four times on Sunday.
There are a number of different games, but NAP2 is the most popular. In this game, players simply select 2 numbers from a pool of 1-90, and their winnings are 240x the original stake. The jackpot is fixed at a maximum of NGN 30 million, but there are plenty of other cash prizes to be won.
Gab Lotto
Gab Lotto may not be the oldest in Nigeria, but it is one of the most played in the country. Its popularity may be due to the ease of access with numerous Gab Lotto agents across Nigeria. It has also gained popularity because of the low ticket price and instant payouts.
National Lotto
Another homegrown favorite is the National Lotto which is played 2 times per week on a Wednesday and Saturday. Players just need to select 6 numbers from 1-49, or they can be generated automatically using the Quick Play option. Correctly guessing all 6 numbers will win the jackpot of NGN 1 million on Wednesday and NGN 2 million on Saturday. There are also prizes for hitting 5, 4, or 3 numbers.
