How to Buy a Ticket Online

Lottery vs Sports Betting
The state lottery is run by the Ethiopian Lottery Service. It is separate from sports betting, whose licences were all revoked on 15 December 2025; see our betting relaunch page for the latest on that.
Avoiding Fake Lottery Pages
Only buy tickets on ethiolottery.et or at official ELS outlets. Fake “lottery winner” messages that ask you to pay a fee to release a prize are a common scam.
- Type the domain yourself. Do not log in from ads, TikTok comments or links forwarded in chats.
- Never send Telebirr or CBE Birr money to a private phone number to “activate” or “unlock” an account.
- Do not share SMS codes or your PIN with anyone claiming to be support.
- Only install an app if the brand’s own website links to it. APK files passed around in groups can contain malware.

Looking for Sports Betting Instead?
The lottery is not a sportsbook. If you came here looking for betting, these international bookmakers accept Ethiopian players:
| 1win Aviator and other crash games plus a full sportsbook; large first-deposit bonus. | Visit 1win → |
| 1xBet Wide football and live-betting coverage with an ETB account. | Visit 1xBet → |
| Melbet Low minimum deposit and Amharic/English support. | Visit Melbet → |
18+ only. Payment methods and offers change; open the cashier and confirm the method before you deposit. All Ethiopian sports-betting licences were revoked on 15 December 2025 and no operator is currently licensed in Ethiopia; the international bookmakers above are licensed abroad, not in Ethiopia. Check the legal status before you deposit, and gamble responsibly.
