NLCB cements Sunday lottery draws beginning February 8

Lot­tery gam­bling will of­fi­cial­ly ex­pand to Sun­days from Feb­ru­ary 8, fol­low­ing a re­vised no­tice is­sued by the Na­tion­al Lot­ter­ies Con­trol Board con­firm­ing new draw times for se­lect­ed games.

Un­der the up­dat­ed or­der, Sun­day draws will be held for Play Whe, Pick 2, Pick 4 and Cash Pot at the TTT tele­vi­sion stu­dio in Port of Spain. Play Whe, Pick 2 and Pick 4 will be drawn at 10.30 am, 1 pm, 4 pm and 7 pm, while Cash Pot will have a sin­gle Sun­day draw at 7 pm.

The Jan­u­ary 19 no­tice re­places an ear­li­er an­nounce­ment made on Jan­u­ary 13 and re­moves a no­tice which said there would be mul­ti­ple Cash Pot draws on Sun­days. The re­vised ver­sion clar­i­fies the draw times and con­firms the arrange­ment as fi­nal.

All oth­er on­line lot­tery games will con­tin­ue to op­er­ate un­der ex­ist­ing sched­ules, and no changes have been an­nounced for non-gam­ing hol­i­days.

The move marks a sig­nif­i­cant shift for the lo­cal lot­tery, where draws have tra­di­tion­al­ly run from Mon­day to Sat­ur­day. It's been met with mixed re­ac­tion from the pub­lic es­pe­cial­ly from more.
