How Lotto draw is conducted
LOTTO draws use a Random Number Generator that has been tested and certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI). GLI is a global leader in the provision of testing and certification services to 65 of the world’s leading lotteries and is trusted by regulators in more the 475 jurisdictions worldwide. LOTTO operates under license number 1095 issued by the Kenya Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) who conduct each LOTTO draw. This means that you can play with 100% confidence in the LOTTO draw process and result.
If Lotto is Genuine
The LOTTO draw is closed to all entries at 8pm on both Wednesday and Saturday. After the draw has closed, all entries are collated into a single file, generating a 256bit “Hash key” (like a fingerprint). The Hash key and the entire entry file (comprising of all tickets entered into the draw) are passed to the BCLB and to the Insurance underwriters before the Random Numbers are drawn. This ensures that it is impossible to tamper with any of the entries after the Random Number selection as any alteration of the entries would result in the Hash key not matching.
The process happens at approximately 21:00. Once the integrity of the Winning Numbers are verified and checked by the BLCB, the winning numbers are entered into the computer graphics system of LOTTO Live for display on the TV Show. It is at this point that the processing of user accounts occurs so that Winning amounts can begin to appear into player accounts on the night of the draw.
This is a requirement that is enforced by LOTTO’s prize insurance broker UAP and their global Class A underwriters in London. No valid draw can be conducted without their effective prior acceptance of its authenticity.
How Lotto Winners are picked
After the drawing of the winning numbers for the main LOTTO draw has taken place, a predetermined number of tickets are picked at random for the LOTTO Live raffle draws. These Ticket Numbers are selected from all entries into the draw that has just closed. This process is conducted by the representative of the BCLB. The holders of these selected Ticket Numbers are called for participation in the LOTTO Live show about to go on air, in order to make sure they are available to be on call during the show. The winning Ticket Numbers are displayed on the TV show. The ticket holders are then called back during the main LOTTO Live show, where they are given extra chances to win. At selected times, for instance if we are unable to reach a caller, additional random users may be selected by the BCLB and called during the live show. A record is kept of all the Ticket Numbers and each one of them, whether called or not, automatically receive a default prize of KSh 1000.
