Two bettors placed through the National Lottery of Côte d’Ivoire (LONACI) have won a combined 42,587,000 FCFA in the UEMOA Mass event held on September 3, 2026. Each winner correctly predicted the order of the Quinté, taking home 21,293,500 FCFA.

The winners received their cheques on September 10 at LONACI’s headquarters in the Marcory Zone 3 area. The ceremony was attended by Richard Touré, LONACI’s Marketing and Customer Experience Director, who represented Dramane Coulibaly, Director General of LONACI and President of the African Lottery Association (ALA).

The two winning bets were made at significantly different stakes. One winner, identified as Mr Y.A., placed a 36,000 FCFA bet and secured 21,293,500 FCFA. Another winner, Mr Z.A., achieved the same payout with a base Quinté stake of just 300 FCFA. The winnings were part of the special 100 million FCFA jackpot offered for correctly predicting the Quinté in order during the UEMOA Mass event.

A total of 10 winners shared the special jackpot across participating lottery operators. Six winners were recorded at LONAB, while LONACI and PMU Mali each recorded two winners. The next UEMOA Mass event is scheduled for December 3, 2026, and will feature another 100 million FCFA jackpot.

Meanwhile, more than 66 million FCFA in jackpots was available across the LONACI PMU network, LONACI Online and the *590# mobile platform from September 7 to 13, 2026.

LONACI continues to promote its lottery and betting products through its retail and digital channels under the message: “We all have a good reason to play.”
