Areia Branca council approves municipal lottery bill
Areia Branca’s municipal council approved a bill establishing a local lottery and lottery fund on 25 September 2025; the approval was published the following day. The measure allows lottery formats provided for under federal law, with activity limited to the municipality, and still requires the mayor’s decision and implementing rules before operations begin.
The bill sets a local framework for lottery operations, but launch timing and initial game formats remain undecided.
