Belize Government Lotteries Warns Against Scams

Belize Government Lotteries Limited is warning the public about deceptive advertisements that misuse its official logo to promote lottery ticket sales via WhatsApp.

In an official statement, the company states, “Players are being asked to send a WhatsApp message indicating the numbers they wish to wager on and the number of pieces desired, along with proof of online payment, after which a picture of the ticket is provided to the player.” 

The government lottery company states that “this method of sale… is not sanctioned.”

“We vehemently oppose and disassociate ourselves from any individual offering such service,” the company added. 

They further advise that “without an official printed ticket, redemption of any prize winnings will not be guaranteed.”
