The National Lottery Burkinabè (LONAB) hosted a lively award ceremony at the Espace Courses en Direct (ECD) in the ZAD area of Ouagadougou. The event honored two lucky winners of the Burkinabè Urban Mutual Betting (PMU’B) and showcased LONAB’s commitment to transforming lives through its gaming platforms.
The ceremony was presided over by Mrs. Nicole REMEN YILBOUDO, Head of the Ouaga 1 Agency, representing the General Manager of LONAB. Many LONAB collaborators, clients, and members of the public gathered to witness this life-changing moment.
The two winners, both trade professionals, secured their winnings by selecting the correct 4+1 combination during the PMU’B draw. Mr. ZOUNGRANA Oumarou turned a modest bet of 1,200 FCFA into an impressive FCFA 26,825,000 win in the order category, Mr. OUEDRAOGO Faiçal, with a bet of 1,800 FCFA, won an even larger cheque of FCFA 26,832,000, benefiting from both the order win and a bonus.
Both winners expressed their gratitude and excitement during the event. “I never imagined that my small bet could bring such a big change to my life,” said Mr. ZOUNGRANA. Mr. OUEDRAOGO added, “This win gives me the opportunity to better support my family and plan for the future. I encourage everyone to try their luck. You never know when fortune will smile on you.”
In her speech, Mrs. Nicole REMEN YILBOUDO warmly congratulated the winners on behalf of the General Manager and the entire LONAB staff. She emphasized LONAB’s dual mission is to provide quality gaming experiences while contributing to Burkina Faso’s socio-economic development. “Behind every ticket lies the promise of a better future,” she said. By participating in LONAB games, you’re not just dreaming you’re also contributing to the development of our nation.
