Take a gamble with Vodacom

If waiting in queues has never been your thing, you can now buy lottery tickets through a new Vodacom mobile service.

The service – which launched in partnership with the National Lottery’s operator, Gidani, and Lidonga Technology and Telecoms – is also available to customers on other networks.

Users can purchase National Lottery tickets through the service, as well as receive notifications if there are any winnings. Winnings will be automatically credited to their electronic wallet.

“Customers will now be able to play the National Lottery anywhere,” said Prins Mhlanga, managing executive of Vodacom digital media. “They also don’t need to worry about losing their National Lottery tickets because they will have a record of all the games played.”

When users sign up to the service, an electronic wallet will automatically be created. Credits are then obtained by depositing funds into the e-wallet via EFT or cash deposit.
