NLA Past Results

The NLA past results archive below lists earlier draws for every Ghana lotto game, newest first, so the lotto result from yesterday sits at the top. Pick the game and the date printed on your ticket, and compare the five winning numbers. If you are looking for tonight's numbers instead, go to the NLA results today page, which updates after each live draw.

NLA past results: yesterday and earlier draws

Each row in the archive shows the game name, the draw date, the five winning numbers and, when the source includes them, the five machine numbers. We copy results from the official NLA announcement after each draw. If a number in our archive ever disagrees with the NLA, the NLA version is the correct one, and we would like to hear about it through our contact page.

How to search past results the right way

Most mistakes with old tickets come from matching the wrong draw. Ghana has a different game every day, plus a morning VAG draw from Monday to Saturday, so "yesterday's result" can mean two or three different draws.

1. Read the game name on the ticket. A ticket for Fortune Thursday is checked only against Fortune Thursday, never against the VAG draw of the same morning.
2. Read the draw date, not the purchase date. A ticket bought on Sunday night after the Aseda draw is usually for Monday Special. The draw date on the ticket decides which result applies.
3. Find the row with both the same game and the same date. Use the game filter or the individual game pages, which keep their own history.
4. Compare the winning numbers only. Machine numbers are a separate set and do not decide a normal ticket.
5. Apply your bet type. A Direct-2 needs both chosen numbers among the five; a Perm wins on every line that is fully covered.

Yesterday's NLA results by day of the week

If you only remember the day, this quick map tells you which game ran. Times are GMT and follow the schedule in place since December 2025, when the evening draws moved to around 8:00 pm on GTV.

Each game page, such as Fortune Thursday results or Sunday Aseda results, keeps a feed of its own recent draws, which is often faster than scrolling the full archive.

Why copied results can be wrong

Dozens of websites, Facebook pages and WhatsApp groups repost NLA numbers within minutes of a draw. Most are honest, but they are typed by hand, and a swapped digit (a 16 that becomes a 61) is common. Some pages also mix up the winning and machine rows, or list a VAG morning result under the evening game. Before you celebrate or tear up a ticket, confirm the numbers with a second source, ideally the NLA's own channel or the licensed seller you bought from.

Be extra careful with any page that shows past results next to "tomorrow's winning numbers for sale". A clean archive is useful; a sales pitch for numbers is a scam.

What past results can and cannot tell you

An archive is good for three honest jobs: checking an old ticket you forgot about, settling an argument about which numbers came out on a given date, and building simple frequency statistics. It cannot tell you what will come out next. Each NLA draw picks five numbers from 1 to 90 with fresh odds every time, so a number that has been "cold" for weeks is no more due than one that came out yesterday.

If you enjoy the numbers side of lotto, our lotto statistics page shows hot and cold counts and explains why they are entertainment, not a forecast.

Old tickets: can you still claim?

We did not find a published NLA claim deadline, and practice may differ between agents, digital sellers and the NLA's Prize Payment Centres. The safe rule is to check tickets the same night or the next morning and claim straight away. If you find an old winning ticket:

• Go back to the agent or channel you bought it from first; small wins are often paid there or credited to the MoMo wallet you used.
• For larger wins, contact the NLA, whose regional offices and head office handle validation and payment. Take the original ticket and your Ghana Card.
• Expect validation checks. A damaged, unreadable or altered ticket can be refused.
• Never pay a stranger a "processing fee" to claim for you. Real claims go through the seller or the NLA directly.

Keeping your own records

Regular players often keep a small notebook or a phone note with each ticket: game, draw date, numbers, bet type, stake and where it was bought. With digital tickets moving to full electronic sales during 2026, your purchase SMS or app history works as that record. Matching your notes against this archive once a week takes two minutes and catches wins you might otherwise miss.

All NLA games are for adults only, 18+. Decide a weekly lotto budget in cedis, stick to it, and see our responsible gambling advice if you find yourself buying tickets to win back losses.
