Belize Launches Million-dollar Jackpot, Questions Loom

Feeling lucky? Belize Government Lotteries is giving you a shot at one million dollars. Tickets for the special jackpot game are on sale now at BGLL agents nationwide, and starting November fifth, you can buy through the Fi We Boledo app. Each ticket costs just five dollars. Pick your four-digit combo and you could win big when the draw happens on December twentieth in Belmopan. If there’s more than one winner, the prize will be shared. Winners can claim prizes from December twenty-second, but don’t wait, tickets are only valid for thirty days after the draw. And here’s the best part, all profits go to charity. Sounds great, right… but here’s what we’re asking: The release says profits “will be donated to a charitable organization decided upon by the Board.” Which organizations, what selection criteria, and when will beneficiaries be named? Will BGLL publish an independently audited report detailing ticket sales, administrative costs, prize payouts, and the exact amount donated? On what timeline? Tickets expire thirty days after the draw, why only thirty days for a one‑off million‑dollar game?
