Belize City Boledo purists don't like it - but after decades of being drawn in the city, Belize Government Lotteries today announced that effective the last Sunday in April, the live drawing of the Belize government lottery games, including Boledo, Ordinary Lottery, and Jackpot Lottery, will be relocated to the City of Belmopan.
They explain that the administrative office and all staff of the Belize Government Lotteries Ltd. are located in Belmopan, so, it's being relocated to make it more efficient and, quote, "reduce the risk for the suspension of any future drawings due to the vulnerability of hurricanes and flooding in Belize City."
They say that all protocols will continue as usual.
The new drawing office will be located inside the Emporium Plaza located at Cor. Rio Grande & Nim Li Punit Street. It's open to the public for viewing.
And while traditional Belize City Boledo fans may not be happy about it - they can't complain after Said Musa gave them a winning number last night for his birthday. His age of 81 played - but "backway." The number 18 came up in the nightly draw - and as any good boledo buyer will tell you - every hopeful number is purchased "back and front."
