During an official ceremony organized at the headquarters of the National Lottery of Côte d'Ivoire (LONACI), in Abidjan Marcory, on Monday, January 6, 2025, a winner of Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) was honored with a check of 31,306,900 FCFA.

This exceptional gain is the result of the special promotional jackpots organized at the end of 2024 which offers bettors the possibility of winning significant amounts. The Director General of LONACI and President of the African Lotteries Association (ALA), Dramane Coulibaly underlined the importance of technological innovations put in place to improve the experience of bettors. In 2024, LONACI also enriched its offer by introducing the Super Quinté, a bet that guarantees high payouts for a base bet of 200 FCFA. Recently, a PAYME by LONACI platform that was launched will now allow physical ticket holders to receive their earnings directly via mobile money, thus eliminating the need to travel. It should also be noted that bettors will have another opportunity to win considerable winnings during the Prix d'Amérique, the global harnessed trot final, scheduled for January 26,
