Loteria do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (LOTERJ) celebrates 80 years

This year, on February 10th, Loteria do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (LOTERJ) celebrates its 80th anniversary. These are years filled with stories, victories, transformations, and, above all, pioneering spirit. In the new scenario, LOTERJ stands out for its avant-garde approach under the leadership and visionary gaze of its President, Hazenclever Lopes Cançado, as the first lottery in Brazil to accredit and offer sports betting and online games services.

Those familiar with LOTERJ know that the security in betting dates back to the 1940s when gambling, a national passion, already had a touch of entertainment.

The smiles upon hitting each number, each winning scratch card, and each redeemed prize are part of the history of Rio residents, and over time, LOTERJ has followed trends and gained prominence in the world of betting.

Who hasn't heard the famous phrase: "have you scratched your ticket today?" Hearing it can bring back the most intense memories, from a time when the excitement was in discovering what was on the scratch card.

In this year of 2024, LOTERJ remains active, but this time with a different type of bet. Fixed-odds have arrived in the market to stay, and to keep up with progress, online platforms have gained space in the country's most traditional lottery, and today we have four major companies alongside us: Pixbet, MarjoSports, Bestbet, and Apostou.

In the new scenario, which began to change in 2023, LOTERJ stands out for its avant-garde approach under the leadership and visionary gaze of its President, Hazenclever Lopes Cançado, as the first Lottery in Brazil to accredit and offer sports betting and online games services.

"I cannot fail to highlight the work of Governor Cláudio Castro, who has been leading a revolution in various sectors in Rio de Janeiro, including our LOTERJ, giving us the opportunity to be at the forefront and be a reference when it comes to Lotteries. Knowing that LOTERJ invests 70% of its profit in social projects gives us the certainty that we are on the right path, and this is our greatest satisfaction," said Hazenclever.

"May we continue to be an inspiration to other states and may people's lives be changed always, as this is the main motivation and satisfaction. Let's continue making history in Rio de Janeiro, and we count on you to make it happen!" concluded the president of Loterj.
