Reading Time: < 1 minute

Lottery vendors in Costa Rica have received part of a subsidy aimed at keeping the country’s lottery sector afloat during the coronavirus crisis. A total of 1600 vendors have received a $342,000 subsidy.

At the end of March, the Social Protection Board (JPS) announced it was going to financially support around 2000 vendors. The objective of the subsidy is to provide help to protect jobs in the lottery sector, giving $342,000 per month to each entity.

“We had great concerns for the families of the people who work in the Costa Rican lotteries. With solidarity and in a legal context, the JPS has honoured its word. This is our way to say thank you to those who sell our products every day in Costa Rica and help carry out social work programs aimed to contribute to those in vulnerable conditions,” Esmeralda Britton, President of JPS, said.

Britton also revealed that 151 vendors did not input their information correctly when applying for the subsidy and could not be given it.
