The Belize Government Lotteries (BGLL) has announced an exciting opportunity for citizens to try their luck at winning a million-dollar jackpot. Tickets for this special lottery game are now available at BGLL agents across the nation, with online sales commencing on November 5 via the Fi We Boledo app. Priced at just $5 per ticket, participants can select a four-digit combination for a chance to win the grand prize, which will be drawn on December 20 in Belmopan. In the event of multiple winners, the prize will be divided equally. Winners can claim their rewards starting December 22, but must act quickly as tickets are only valid for 30 days post-draw. A notable aspect of this initiative is that all profits will be directed to charitable causes. However, questions have been raised regarding the transparency of the process. The BGLL has stated that profits will be donated to a charitable organization chosen by its Board, but specifics such as the selection criteria, beneficiary organizations, and the timeline for announcements remain unclear. Additionally, concerns have been voiced about whether BGLL will publish an independently audited report detailing ticket sales, administrative costs, prize payouts, and the exact amount donated. The 30-day validity period for tickets has also been questioned, especially for a one-time, high-stakes game. While the lottery offers a thrilling chance to win big, the lack of detailed information has left some Belizeans skeptical about the initiative’s transparency and accountability.
