*959# Digital Lottery addresses the concerns of Lottery Stigmatization

The robustness,  effectiveness and efficiency of the *959# lottery Short Code has been appreciated by the staking public.

The *959# is the official short code of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) running the Original 5/90 Lotto Game from Monday to Saturday.

The *959# short code and 590mobile.com.gh platforms formed part of the Government's digitization and the digitalization programme  aims at transforming all the sectors of the economy including the lottery industry.

Since the implementation of the *959# digital lottery platform, consumers of lottery products especially the upper and middle class have taken serious interest in playing the 5/90 Game via the NLA Official Short Code *959# and 590mobile.com.gh.

Previously the Upper and Middle Class were finding it difficult to stake lottery products in the Lotto Kiosks largely due to stigmatization but the introduction of the *959# and 590mobile.com.gh platforms have been very helpful to address the concerns of Lottery Stigmatization.

Now players who are unwilling to stake lottery publicly in the Lotto Kiosks can do so at their comfort zone on mobile phones by dialling *959# or visit 590mobile.com.gh.

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939.
