“Regionalizing LOTERJ products was a request we received from Governor Wilson Witzel,” stated Ivan Fogli Gerstner, vice-president of LOTERJ.

The official launch of TRIPLA CHANCE, a lottery product authorized by the Rio de Janeiro State Lottery – LOTERJ and exclusive to the South Fluminense region, took place on Wednesday evening (20) at the Chamber of Retail Leaders of Volta Redonda – CDL-VR.

HEBARA, the company contracted through public bidding to develop conventional multi-chance lottery products, and LOTERJ held a dinner for over 150 guests, including representatives from points of sale and local press professionals, as well as authorities such as the Mayor of Barra Mansa, Rodrigo Drable, the president of the Municipal Chamber of Volta Redonda, Edson Quinto, and the Secretary of Government Strategy of Volta Redonda, Claro Mariano, representing Mayor Samuca Silva.

TRIPLA CHANCE, as the name itself suggests, has as its main characteristic the possibility of allowing bettors to participate in three different types of draws, with three chances to win the main prize, all broadcast live on TV Band, on Sundays at 9:30 am. The premiere program, aiming to explain the dynamics to the population, will be on March 31st. The first draws will take place on the following Sunday, April 7th. All prizes will be drawn for residents of the South Fluminense region and tickets will start being distributed next Saturday (23).

“Regionalizing LOTERJ's products is of fundamental importance for the development of the state's interior and was a request we received from Governor Wilson Witzel. It is a great joy to be able to start in the South Fluminense region. We want to be ever closer to the citizen,” declared Ivan Fogli Gerstner, vice-president of LOTERJ, who said that it will be natural for financial support to increase throughout the state with the increase in the agency's revenue generated by the launch of TRIPLA CHANCE, as this is LOTERJ's purpose, Ivan emphasizes.

70% of LOTERJ's profits are allocated to social projects in the state of Rio de Janeiro in partnership with RIOSOLIDÁRIO. The majority of the funds go to APAEs (Association of Parents and Friends of Exceptional Children), Pestalozzi institutions, nursing homes, daycare centers, and support homes for vulnerable youth.

Mayor Rodrigo Drable highlighted the job and income generation that the new product will provide. "People facing difficulties in the regular job market will benefit through the resale of TRIPLA CHANCE, which will bring more dignity to families and boost the local economy," he said.

The TRIPLA CHANCE program will be presented by Betinho, Carlos Alberto, and Luiz Batista, traditional broadcasters from the South Fluminense region.
