National lottery Authority (NLA) is a key government revenue generation entity established by an act of parliament (Act 722) in 2006.It metamorphosed from the Department of National Lotteries; the then institution mandated by National Lotto Act 1958 to operate lottery business on behalf of Government of Ghana until 2007. The lottery amendment act of 1989 (PNDC-Law233), which mandated private operation of lottery in Ghana failed to achieve its set objectives of paying taxes to Government and contributing a percentage of their profits to the District Assemblies of which they were licensed to operate within; and thus the State losing considerable amount of revenue over the period.
