HOW TO PLAY GD LOTTO 5/70, 5/80 AND 5/90
The 5/90 game is Nigeria’s most popular and widely played lottery, known for its simplicity. Here’s how it works: 90 balls, numbered 1 to 90, are placed in a chamber, and 5 are randomly drawn. These first 5 numbers, called the “Winning Numbers”, determine the main results for the Original gameplay in the 5/90, 5/80, and 5/70 formats. An additional 5 numbers, known as the “Machine Numbers”, are then drawn to support the Extended Gameplay option, “Double Chance”, giving players even more opportunities to win.

The 5/80 and 5/70 games were introduced based on our insights into player preferences. While the 5/90 game remains a favorite, research showed that many players prefer selecting numbers below 80. In the traditional 5/90 format, players had to contend with all 90 balls, which limited their chances of winning. By creating the 5/80 and 5/70 games, we’ve provided players with more flexibility and better odds, ensuring a greater chance for everyone to win and achieve their dreams.
These games retain the familiar gameplay options from 5/90, such as Direct 2 Play, PERM, and Banker. With fewer balls in the pool, both 5/80 and 5/70 improve the odds of winning.
