In 1967, the Ghana Lottery Authority witnessed an unprecedented surge in public interest as thousands of Ghanaians across the country rushed to purchase lotto tickets.
An old footage from the development shared on X captured long queues forming at lottery kiosks, with both young and old eager to try their luck at winning big.
The spike in public enthusiasm was largely driven by a notable increase in the number of winners. "Many participants were claiming prizes at a higher-than-usual rate, boosting confidence in the system and drawing in even more hopeful players", the report said.
The lottery became not just a game of chance but a national sensation.
