Thursday, the complainant said before Justice Modupe Nicol-Clay that on January 29, 2021, he played a game with N330,000, and when the results were announced, he won, but the defendants refused to pay him the winning cash.

He stated that in addition to Green Lotto, he played Premier Lotto with N200,000 on the same day and won N48 million, which he claimed at Ojuelegba, Surulere.

The witness, who was led in evidence in chief by the state prosecuting counsel, Mrs Titilayo Olanrewaju-Daudu, said after collecting the money he won at Premier Lotto, he went to Green Lotto the next day to claim the N72,700,000 he won, but the firm refused to pay him.

He said, “When I got there on Tuesday to claim the money, they said their system developed a fault and the result had wiped out.

“I asked Charles, was it after the game declared the winner the machine developed a fault or before, but the defendant chased me out and I had no option than to report to the police.

“Before I played that game on January 29, I had earlier played on January 26 with N50,000 or N60,000 and I lost. That isn’t my first time of playing the game with them. Sometimes I win and other times, I lose.

“So, I asked Charles that the day I played N500,000 and N1m and I didn’t win, the machine did not develop a fault, but now that I won, the machine is no longer working.

While being cross-examined by the defence counsel, Adedotun Moses, the witness said he had been playing games for over 30 years.

“I reported the matter at Area B, Apapa; they invited him, but he did not honour the invitation. So, Area B wrote to the lottery board and they had a series of meetings; they were asked to pay me.

“They offered me N10m and I rejected it. Then, we went to the Abuja national board and they offered me N13m, but I rejected it. Then, they went to Zone 2 and pleaded that they would pay me N20m; I also refused, before the matter was referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice,” he added.Jamb Result
