Senator Arise Rolls Out N10m Daily Jackpot Lottery
From tomorrow (Saturday), Nigerians will have the opportunity of becoming millionaire by just playing Quick Lotto with N100 or N200, Senator Ayo Arise, who represented Ekiti North Senatorial District in the Sixth Assembly, has disclosed.
Arise, in a release issued today described Quick Lotto, as a lottery through which he intends to make instant millionaires in Nigeria, adding that; he conceptualised the Lotto Game out of his desire to create wealth for the people.
He said Quick Lotto would be played over the Internet, on ATM, telephones or point of sales terminal and that “prospective players can participate in the daily and weekly game for N100 and N200, respectively and a minimum of N10 million will be won every day.”
Arise, who was chairman Senate Committee on Privatisation, disclosed that his company, Fortune Games was partnering with First Bank in the venture, which he said was his own little contribution to the efforts of government to promote public/ private partnership.
On what motivated him into the lottery business, Arise said; “I believe if we all don't focus on looking at the government that we can make money from government that we can at least make money and be of service to this society. Nigeria will certainly move forward and progress. So, it isn't really for politics. And for me, it will provide an opportunity to be further close to the less privileged in society.
“I will be very happy, if I wake up every day and I have created about ten millionaires in Nigeria. I will be able to sleep better, because there is no sense in being wealthy and being afraid to go out. It isn't my ideal kind of society.
“You have poor people in America and you have extremely wealthy people, but everybody minds his or her business, because they know the opportunity is there for them to create that wealth for themselves. So, I will continue to encourage the government not to compete with businessmen; let them provide the enabling environment for competition and once that is there, you will see the ingenuity of Nigerians to begin to take the front seat.”
