In the Supreme Court of Justice, two annulment lawsuits filed in 2023 against the contract awarded to the company are still pending.
Panama.- The National Lottery of Charity of Panama (LNB) reported that the two annulment lawsuits presented last year against the contract awarded to the company operating the electronic lottery are still pending in the office of Magistrate Cecilio Cedalise.
Furthermore, the authorities of the LNB announced in statements released by the newspaper Metro Libre that "the National Lottery of Charity, as an entity respectful of the law, is waiting for the highest court of justice to decide the future of the said addendum, and to comply immediately."
On the other hand, the entity explained that "to date, the Board of Directors of the Lottery has also not met, since director Saquina Jaramillo has not been ratified by the National Assembly."

It is worth remembering that last July, President Mulino ordered Saquina Jaramillo, the new director of the LNB, to end the electronic lottery in Panama, known as Lotto and Pega 3, with the aim of improving the efficiency and credibility of the LNB, since, according to the president, this modality "is not a business for the State".
