LONABOL, Bolivia's state lottery, delivered more than BOB40,000 ($5,800) in financial and material assistance to five families across the country facing extreme vulnerability.
The agency said the support was funded through proceeds from regulated lottery sales.
The beneficiaries received the resources after technical-social evaluations determined each household faced imminent risk.
The families affected struggle to cover housing and medical costs stemming from accidents, chronic illnesses and complex diagnoses, including spinal tuberculosis. LONABOL said the support was intended to ease the health risk, overcrowding and lack of stable income facing these families.
The recipients include single-parent heads of household, informal traders and workers in situations of extreme vulnerability whose economic capacity was affected by these circumstances.
The lottery said the funds raised through ticket sales finance high complexity medical treatments, biosecurity supplies, nutritional supplements and basic subsistence for families in situations of exclusion.
LONABOL is a member of Cibelae, the regional association representing state lotteries and gaming operators across Ibero-America, which promotes cooperation and the exchange of best practices among public gaming institutions.
In January 2026, LONABOL appointed Jaime Marcelo Schuab Sebastián as executive director. Upon taking office, Schuab said he aimed to strengthen the lottery's social mission and expand the reach of its charitable programs.
Schuab also pledged to reinforce transparency and public trust in the institution, describing LONABOL as a tool to support vulnerable populations through resources generated by the country's regulated lottery operations.
Bolivia's National Lottery was established by law in 1928, creating the legal framework for the country's state-run lottery
