The National Lottery of Charity (LNB) of El Salvador closed the period from June 2025 to May 2026 with record figures, distributing USD 38.2 million in prizes among more than 6,000 winners. This performance reflects sustained growth in the gambling sector in the Central American country.
Expansion of the Online Gaming Market
During the same period, the entity granted three new licenses for online gaming and sports betting operators, bringing the total number of authorized companies to twelve. Revenue generated from the initial licensing fees for these new licenses reached USD 300,000, strengthening the institution’s resources.
Record Sales in Instant Lottery
The LNB’s total sales exceeded USD 61.5 million, driven primarily by the performance of the Instant Lottery (LOTIN), which reached a historic figure of USD 25 million. This represents an increase of 5.6% compared to the previous period, with December 2025 and January 2026 as the months with highest sales, reaching USD 2.8 million monthly.
Historic Prize Milestone
The ‘El Gordo Navideño’ drawing marked a milestone by awarding the largest prize in the history of El Salvador’s lottery: USD 1.5 million. This record demonstrates the growing appeal of LNB products among Central American bettors.
