More technology and meticulous record keeping have been deployed by Mega Millions Naija Lotteries to secure winning tickets if their owners lose them.

“These measures are extras to existing security features of our platform,” Okwy Okeke, Managing Director of Mega Millions Naija Lotteries, said in a statement.

According to a statement from the company, if players in Nigeria lose their physical ticket, they can rely on the platform’s secure record-keeping system, which retains a digital copy of all tickets purchased.

“These features eliminate the possibility of losing out on winnings due to misplaced or stolen tickets, as players can readily access their records and pursue their claims accordingly. This is complemented by electronic transmission of each ticket’s numbers to the email account and/or phone number of each player,” Okeke said.

An incident where a 23-year-old liquor store clerk, Carly Nunes, was indicted on charges related to an alleged scheme to steal a $3 million winning Mega Millions ticket in Lakeville, Massachusetts has made the measures necessary.
