The Côte d’Ivoire National Lottery (LONACI) has announced an exciting partnership with Shell to make its lottery games available directly at Shell Select convenience stores located in service stations nationwide. This collaboration allows customers to participate in a variety of LONACI games while refueling, creating a seamless experience that blends daily routines with the thrill of potentially winning substantial prizes.

Designed with both convenience and security in mind, this initiative ensures that players can enjoy their favorite games without disrupting their everyday activities. LONACI’s offerings now include popular options such as Loto Bonheur, scratch tickets, Sport Cash, and PMU betting, all accessible at Shell locations operated by Vivo Energy.

In addition to enhancing accessibility, LONACI is expanding its game portfolio. In June 2025, the lottery introduced two new scratch ticket games: Mon Auto and Villa Dorée. Mon Auto gives players the chance to win a brand-new car, while Villa Dorée offers the opportunity to win a house along with cash prizes. These new products are part of LONACI’s broader strategy to engage players with high-value, aspirational prizes that resonate with everyday life.

This partnership reflects a wider trend across Africa, where lottery operators are increasingly collaborating with retail chains to enhance visibility and engagement. By bringing lottery games directly to where people shop and refuel, LONACI is making it easier than ever for players in Côte d’Ivoire to try their luck and potentially transform ordinary routines into life-changing opportunities.
