No Lotto or Bel 3 draws; contract still being negotiated

As of February twenty-fourth, sales of Lotto, Bel Three and Scratch tickets have been suspended because Tropical Gaming Company’s contract expired. Since then the company has been in negotiations with government over new terms for the contract to be renewed. There are reports that Tropical Gaming has been granted a temporary license but when we checked today, we found that tickets are still not being sold and it remains uncertain how much longer the discussions will take. So for now lotto buyers will have to put their hopes for the winnings on hold until the new contracts are sealed.
