The Greater Accra branch of the Association of Lotto Marketing Companies (ALMCs) has called on the general public to disregard claims made against KGL by a splinter group.
The Association said that the issues being raised by the splinter group are untenable, because measures were being put in place so that the LMCs continue to be in business.
The members of the group said their policy was to help the National Lottery Authority (NLA) to promote policies and programmes that would ensure an integrated growth where the Authority would grow together with all its stakeholders, including all the LMCs without any hindrance, and that anything that would undermine this agenda would not be countenanced.

The Lotto Marketing Companies (LMCs) are calling on the government to revoke the licenses of private lotto company, KGL Group.
According to the LMC’s, the activities of KGL are collapsing the lotto industry, hence, the call for a revocation of its license.
The KGL Group, comprises KGL Technology Limited, a licensed Online Lotto Marketing Company responsible for the operation of 959#, and a sister company, KEED-NLA which is responsible for the operation of 987#, known as Lucky 3.
Addressing a press conference in Accra yesterday, an Executive Member of Interim LMCs, Mr Kwaku Antwi-Boaou, said people want Ghanaians to believe it is ‘Banker-to-Banker’ that is collapsing the lottery business, but that is not so.
