Like other Brazilian cities, Goiânia, the capital of Goiás state, will also have its own municipal lottery. The City Council approved the project by councilman Léo José in September 2023, which authorizes the city government to create a local lottery.
At the time, the article that institutes, “within the scope of the municipality of Goiânia, the municipal public lottery service” was published in the Official Gazette of the Municipality (DOM).
The project was sanctioned by the mayor, but there is still no date for launching the notice. The working group will analyze how to conduct the event and how the bidding process will be carried out, whether through bids or simply through the accreditation of a company or companies to operate the activity.
The text also included the provision for permission to use “physical or virtual means to collect bets and sell tickets.”
Regarding the commission, it was created by means of an ordinance from the Finance Department, with employees from the department, and from the Administration Department to prepare the bidding process.
According to a report by TV Anhanguera, the city government may profit from the concession to the company and keep part of the money from the bets.
