Commenting

He
made this known at the third edition of the lottery draw organized by
Give n Take National Lottery Company held in Abuja on Monday.
According
to him, when you lottery, what you are doing is that you are
contributing to national development.
``
In the United Kingdom, 75 percent of the population play lottery for
the reason that they are contributing something to their national
development.
``Let
Nigerians take a cue from this and harness the benefits that are
accruable,” Tsav said.
He
noted that 20 percent of lottery proceeds went to the government
trust fund for development of infrastructure.
While
encouraging Nigerians to participate in the game, Tsav said when
anyone played the lottery, he stood the chance to win.
``You
either win the National jackpot or you win the consolation prices, so
we are distributing wealth to ordinary Nigerians.
``The
people who play lottery are essentially ordinary people; we want to
distribute wealth to them,” he said.
According
to him, the game of lottery has arrived Nigeria saying that what
`Give n Take` jackpot is giving to Nigerians was another level of
acquiring wealth.
``With
Give n Take, we are going to see bigger things.
``The
National Lottery Regulatory Commission is behind this company, we are
doing our regulatory assignment. We are making sure that everything
is going on well and Nigerians will enjoy this game,” he said.
Also
speaking, one of the company’s ambassadors who is also a Nollywood
actress, Linda Osifo encouraged Nigerians to keep playing the game
noting that the number of times one could play was unlimited.
Present
at the event was another Nollywood actor, Mr Nobert Young who noted
that ``lottery served as a great opportunity to make some good money
for investment which was a form of empowerment.”
``You
must just keep trying to win big,” he said.
On
his part, the Nigerian rapper, Jude Abaga popularly known as `M.I`
who thrilled the audience with his song said ``his mind was blown
away” by the entire production.
``
The audience is life, what really blew me away was the production.
The team is amazing. This is really a great job. It is a good thing
that is inspiring young Nigerians.
``It
is entertaining but more to that, it is a world class organisation
running a programme and I am very proud to be here.
``It
is an opportunity that could change anyone’s life at any point in
life. The lottery commission is here to show that it is legitimate.
It is open to anybody and anybody can win anytime. It is a great
opportunity,” he said.
The
National Jackpot prize for the coming Sunday will be announced
tomorrow after computation of the roll over, but bear in mind that it
is going to be above Last Sunday National Jackpot Prize of 19.1
