GRTU has
complained about the fact that the Super 5 jackpot was not won this week and this will
result in people spending more on lottery tickets rather than on buying goods and
services, thus hurting sales in supermarkets, bars, restaurants, household good
stores amongst others.
Next week's jackpot is Lm500,000, more than a million euros.
The chamber
for small enterprise said it was not consulted when the minister lifted the
limit, and that this is fuelling what it described as a ‘national madness’.
GRTU urged
government to act quickly to remedy this situation.
