Founded in 1997 and starting formal operations on November 1 of that year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leidsa.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.leidsa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leidsa<\/a> brought to the country the concept of the <strong>real-time electronic lottery<\/strong>, a pioneering technology that turned each point of sale into a node connected directly to the central system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, more than <strong>25 years later<\/strong>, Leidsa has not only delivered billions of pesos in prizes, but has also left a deep mark on the lives of hundreds of Dominicans, while strengthening state oversight and combating informality in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awards given by <strong>Dominican International Electronic Lottery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To date, <strong>more than 250 people<\/strong> have won the Loto, the main lottery of Leidsa, which has distributed around <strong>RD$5.58 billion<\/strong> since its creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Santo Domingo<\/strong> heads the list of luckiest demarcations, with <strong>RD$1,437.9 million<\/strong> delivered to players from municipalities such as SDE, SDN, SDO, Boca Chica and Los Alcarrizos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Santiago<\/strong> follows with RD$1,211.3 million in prizes distributed among 56 winners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>National District<\/strong>, although it has had more winners (62), has received RD$1,160.9 million, an average lower than other provinces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most impactful stories occurred in <strong>Espaillat<\/strong> in 2014, where <strong>Jos\u00e9 Bernardo Antonio Tejada<\/strong> became the winner of the largest amount by receiving <strong>RD$218 million<\/strong>, after hitting the numbers 5-13-16-28-34-36-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best month to play the Lottery?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Leidsa&#8217;s statistics, <strong>March<\/strong> is the month with the most registered winners: <strong>84 people<\/strong> have won the Loto during that period in different years. The most &#8220;fortunate&#8221; years were <strong>2009 and 2015<\/strong>, with 24 winners each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/calros-polanco-ganador-de-la-lota-de-leidsa.webp\" alt=\"Carlos Polanco ganador de la loto de Leidsa\" class=\"wp-image-477861\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carlos Polanco ganador de la loto de Leidsa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curiosities and unique cases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On five occasions, the prizes were collected by banking institutions, not by individuals. <strong>Banco BHD<\/strong> won on <strong>three occasions<\/strong>, <strong>Banco Osaka<\/strong> and <strong>BNV<\/strong>, once each.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the most recent case, BHD won <strong>RD$10 million in La Vega<\/strong>, being represented by the same executive who appeared in other draws: <strong>Rafael Nicol\u00e1s Ferm\u00edn<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The game <strong>Kino TV<\/strong> has also awarded the National District with RD$25.1 million.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic impact and state oversight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leidsa has paid over <strong>RD$5,000 million<\/strong> in taxes in its first 15 years of existence, strictly complying with the provisions of <strong>Law 253-12 on Fiscal Reform<\/strong> and <strong>Law 139-11<\/strong>, which regulates gambling and establishes annual licenses per point of sale. In 2025 alone, the company will pay over <strong>RD$78 million<\/strong> for this concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the company reports all its operations in real time to the <strong>General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII)<\/strong> and the <strong>Ministry of Finance<\/strong>, thus guaranteeing <strong>transparency in each transaction and draw<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology and control vs. informality of the sector<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Leidsa operates under a highly scrutinized electronic system, the rest of the gambling market in the country still struggles with high levels of <strong>informality<\/strong>. According to Wilgin Pe\u00f1a, general manager of the company, <strong>the country has five or six times more points of sale than it should have<\/strong>, which promotes tax evasion and lack of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInformality is the main challenge for the sector. We are auditable and 100% electronic. But many lottery agencies do not allow a real cross-checking of information,\u201d Pe\u00f1a asserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commitment to legality and transparency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/resultados-loterias\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/resultados-loterias\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This company<\/a> maintains its <strong>mission<\/strong> to offer safe, transparent, and legally supported draws.

The choice of the month, consistency, and the responsible use of games are part of a strategy that, although it does not guarantee winning, does allow participation in an informed way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With over two decades of experience, Leidsa continues to make a difference in the way of playing, auditing, and distributing fortune in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leidsa Lottery Results Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the\u00a0<strong>winning numbers of Leidsa<\/strong>\u00a0and verify if you are a lucky winner.\u00a0This is the first electronic lottery of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/estilo\/turismo\/republica-dominicana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dominican Republic<\/a>, it is recognized for its transparency and big prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daily live draws<\/strong>&nbsp;at:<br><strong>8:55 PM (Monday to Saturday)<\/strong><br><strong>3:55 PM (Sunday)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TV and Radio Broadcast:<\/strong><br><strong>Channels:<\/strong>&nbsp;Channel 66 (Leidsa), Channel 19 (Cinevisi\u00f3n), Super Canal.<br><strong>Radio:<\/strong>&nbsp;La Voz de las Fuerzas Armadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leidsa Main Draw \u2013 Loto<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known as <strong>\u201cThe Millionaires&#8217; Factory\u201d<\/strong>, Leidsa has changed the lives of thousands of Dominicans with its main lottery <strong>Loto<\/strong>, offering millionaire prizes and daily opportunities to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Check here for the updated results <\/strong>and find out if you are a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leidsa Draw Schedules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daily Draws (Monday to Saturday &#8211; 8:55 PM \/ Sunday &#8211; 3:55 PM):<\/strong><br><strong>Pega 3 M\u00e1s<\/strong><br><strong>Loto Pool<\/strong><br><strong>Super Kino TV<\/strong><br><strong>Quiniela<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Special Draw (Wednesday and Saturday &#8211; 8:55 PM):<\/strong><br><strong>Lotto<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Special Leidsa Raffles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Christmas Draw \u201c100&#215;100\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Win <strong>100 cars<\/strong> for only 100 pesos!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Includes free fuel and no taxes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mother&#8217;s Day Giveaway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Apartments, cars and houses<\/strong>&nbsp;to celebrate Mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Discover all the special draws and exclusive prizes!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leidsa and its social commitment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Social Responsibility:<\/strong><br>Leidsa not only rewards its players, but also supports education, health, and well-being projects in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to See Leidsa Results?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Visit the official website:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.leidsa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.leidsa.com<\/a><br><strong>Contact phone:<\/strong>&nbsp;809-338-2222<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the updated results and verify if you are a winner.
