Loterie Nationale has named Loïc Hoscheit as the successor to Director Léon Losch, setting out a transition process that will run through 2027 before Hoscheit takes charge at the end of the year.
The board of Directors of Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte unanimously appointed Hoscheit on 30 September following a recruitment process launched in May.
He will join Loterie Nationale on 15 February 2027, allowing for a handover period alongside Losch before assuming responsibility for the lottery.
Losch is due to retire at the end of 2027 after 33 years with Loterie Nationale, including 27 years as Director. The succession therefore represents a planned change in leadership following an extended tenure.
Hoscheit, 36, is a Luxembourg national and holds an MSc in Management from ESSEC Business School. He began his career with Amaury Sport Organisation before moving to Winamax, where he served as Head of Sports Betting Trading.
Since October 2023, he has been director of the Luxembourg Agency for Integrity in Sport, known as ALIS.
When he takes charge of Loterie Nationale, Hoscheit will also join the management team of Œuvre Nationale alongside its director responsible for philanthropic activities.
The structure reflects the lottery's role within Œuvre Nationale, which organises and manages Loterie Nationale and receives all profits from its games to finance public-interest projects in Luxembourg.
That funding relationship remains significant to the organisation's wider activities. Œuvre Nationale distributed €33m during 2025, funded entirely by Loterie Nationale profits. Of that total, €10.4m in one-off grants supported 246 projects. Its work spans social affairs, culture, the environment, sport and health, and remembrance and heritage.
The recruitment process began after Œuvre Nationale announced in May that it was seeking a successor capable of overseeing Loterie Nationale's strategic, operational and institutional management. The role also carries responsibility for supporting the lottery's public-interest mission and participating in Œuvre Nationale's management structure.
The Luxembourg succession follows a separate national-lottery leadership change reported by Global Gaming Insider in August, when Allwyn UK appointed Phil Walker as Interim CEO ahead of Andria Vidler's departure. Walker took operational control in September, while Vidler remained as an adviser until the end of October.
Loterie Nationale was created in 1945 to provide funding for Œuvre Nationale's philanthropic activities in Luxembourg
