The Lotteries Board of Namibia (LBN) is cautioning the public that the multi-million dollar online real estate lottery, the Namibia Property Raffle Project, has not been approved by the board and is thus operating illegally.

The board's warning comes after inquiries by the public regarding the operation of the Namibia Property Raffle Project.

LBN Chairman Michael Mutonga explained that the Namibia Property Raffle Project only applied to conduct this lottery under the Benevolent Society Lotteries.
