Lotteries and bingo

Market picture in a nutshell

The Caribbean Lottery retail chain operates on the islands, which sells instant and circulation games in several countries in the region, including St. Kitts & Nevis. The lineup includes daily numerical games (Pick 3, Pick 4, Lucky Pick) and the Super Lotto inter-jurisdictional lottery. You can play from the age of 18.

The country is also pushing for institutional change in 2025, with parliament approving amendments to the National Lotteries Authority and Gaming Control laws to launch a national lottery regulator. The basic framework for terrestrial gambling was laid back in 2021 by Gaming (Control) Act, 2021.

Major lotteries: What it is and how much it costs

Lucky Pick (daily number game)

Choose 5 numbers; jackpot growing, draws - daily.

How to get a prize: small winnings - at the agent, large - in the office; prizes must be announced up to 90 days from the date of circulation; for amounts above $750, a document is required. Payments - in local currency.

Pick 3/Pick 4 (daily)

Classical numbers with different bet types and odds. Up-to-date results are published in aggregators and in shop windows.

Super Lotto (inter-island)

A common game for part of the Caribbean jurisdictions; on St. Kitts & Nevis the cost of one game is EC $6. 5 out of 35 + 1 out of 10 are selected.

💡 Tip: Sign the ticket turnover immediately after purchase - this will simplify the payment and protect against third-party claims. Rules and frequent questions are available on The Caribbean Lottery website.

Where to buy and check results

The Caribbean Lottery has points of sale throughout the island (the list is on the official website in the Where to play → St. Kitts section). The results are published on the website, social networks of the operator and in local media; there are also third-party result aggregators.

Regulation and age restrictions

Age: 18 +. Lottery tickets and ticket offices are marked with age restrictions and responsible participation.

Legal framework: Gaming (Control) Act, 2021; in August 2025, amendments were adopted to launch the National Lotteries Authority (national lottery regulator). Implementation details and by-laws are published by the government.

Practical advice to the player

1. Keep the check/ticket and sign it. For large amounts, take a document with you - ID is required from $750.

2. Watch the deadline. For presentation - up to 90 days after circulation.

3. Check the rate and currency. Payments are made in local currency (XCD), even if prices in tourist areas are displayed in USD.

4. Check the bingo schedule on the day of the visit. MaPau changes the grid for holidays/promotions - the current time on the site or at the counter.

5. Play responsibly. The limit for the evening and "pauses" are required; the operator publishes contacts on Problem Gambling and FAQ.
