Loteria Mineira launches international bidding process for online lottery

The Minas Gerais State Lottery has just launched International Public Competition Notice 002/2023 for the operation of lottery games in an online/real time system, except sports betting. The criteria for granting take into account the contributions suggested at a public hearing that took place in October. A new Consultation will take place on November 28th, at LEMG headquarters, regarding the Notice.

The object of the Bidding is the hiring, exclusively within the territorial limits of the State of Minas Gerais, of an experienced and capitalized company to carry out the operational activities inherent to the exploration and operation of lottery games in an online/real time system (iLottery), excluding fixed odds bets, also known as sports betting.

Therefore, electronic games are included in this concession in person (land-based) and digital/virtual (cyberspace), observing the lottery modalities of prediction games provided for in federal and state legislation through the granting of services, through a Public Concession contract, based on Federal Law No. 8,987/95:

Strategic planning;

  • Creation of lottery games;
  • Implementation and operation of the Gaming System;
  • Communication and marketing;
  • Commercial logistics with the points of sale network;
  • Development and implementation of websites and platforms;
  • Carrying out draws and paying prizes.


The set of documents that support the bidding in the International Public Competition Type Highest Offer modality, consisting of the Notice and its Annexes, especially the Basic Project, can be downloaded, free of charge, on the website www.loteriamineira.mg.gov.br from this Monday, November 13th.

The current Concession, run by the concessionaire Intralot do Brasil since 2010, will end on May 13, 2025. Loteria Mineira's goal, therefore, will be to diligently and cautiously conclude the hiring of the new Concessionaire at least twelve months in advance of the date mentioned, taking care to protect the marketing legacy, embodied in bettors' preference for games from LEMG's active portfolio, in maintaining the commercial strength of the network of sales points of contracted resellers.

The goal is to eliminate any risks to the continuity of the Loteria Mineira's revenue flow, as it is voluntary, non-tax resources that finance the mission of developing citizenship and social well-being.
