Everyone loves the lottery. For the first time, citizens of Africa are able to play the lottery online at Lottoland. Thanks to technology and fixed-odds betting, placing bets no longer have to be limited to local games.
From the comfort of your own home or on the go with the mobile app, you can bet on global lotteries such as US Powerball, EuroMillions, and EuroJackpot. You can place a bet, check results, and collect winnings from anywhere at any time.
What is fixed-odds betting?
When you play a local lottery, you must buy a ticket, and if the numbers you selected are the winning numbers, you turn that ticket in to redeem. When you place a fixed-odds bet, you are betting on the outcome of the international lottery of your choice. The games have the same look, and they play the same way. Most importantly, the winnings are the same. People are becoming millionaires from their office, home, or car!
The difference is, you do not need to buy a “ticket.” You are placing a bet on the numbers that you think will win. It doesn’t matter who wins the paper game. The winning numbers make you a winner. You do not have to go anywhere or prove anything to collect your money. It is all done securely and instantly online. It couldn’t be easier.
