How to Claim Your Prize Securely
The Ethiopian Lottery Service has updated its data protection policies to ensure the safety of winners. If you are a lucky winner, here is what you need to know about the claiming process:
1. Document Verification
To claim your prize, you must visit the National Lottery Administration head office (for high-tier prizes) or authorized branches. You will be required to provide Personal Identification (Valid ID Card, Passport, or Driver’s License). As per the ELS privacy policy (Section 2.1), your Name, Date of Birth, and ID number will be recorded for legal verification.
2. Bank Transfer & Transaction Security
Large cash prizes are rarely handed out in physical notes. Be prepared to provide your Bank Account details. The NLA collects transaction information (Section 2.4) to process payments securely and prevent fraud. This data is protected under the new Digital Lottery guidelines to ensure your financial safety.
3. Protect Your Identity
While the NLA takes photos of winners for transparency, you have rights regarding your personal data. Do not share your winning ticket number on social media (Facebook/TikTok) before claiming the prize. Scammers often use “Verification Data” (Section 2.6) to claim prizes fraudulently.
