The Government Lottery Office (GLO) announced the draw for the April 1 lottery will take place on May 16, marking the return of the numbers game after six weeks of lockdown. The June 1 lottery will be sold and drawn as normal.
On April 15, the GLO had announced the April 1 lottery draw had been postponed again, to May 16, in a move to avoid transmission of Covid-19 via public gatherings.
GLO has advised vendors to wear face masks at all times and wash their hands regularly. Both vendors and buyers should maintain social distancing and avoid gathering in front of lottery stalls.
“Vendors should also plan their reservation of tickets carefully and keep in mind that not too many tickets may be sold during this crisis. The unsold tickets purchased through reservation cannot be returned to the GLO like tickets purchased normally,” said the office.
