MEMBERS of the public will have to hold their hand on playing their favourite Play Whe mark and Lotto lucky numbers.
The National Lotteries Control Board (NLCB) on Monday ordered its agents/outlets to stop operations immediately owing to the state of emergency aimed at curbing the covid19 pandemic.
One agent told Newsday that in the wee hours just before 1 am, IGT (formerly GTEC Global Services Corporation), which is responsible for technical operation of the games, sent agents a text message to say gaming must stop immediately.
The text said, Lottery operations suspended until further notice effective May 17 (Monday.)
