Pere Eternel LOTO - Bank Bolet - Haiti

Haitians gamble a lot in BOTLETTE, lotto in Haiti. Here is a photo of a Pere Eternel LOTO Bank Bolet Haiti.

With few employment prospects, mouths to feed, and small businesses to manage, accumulating cash to invest in an enterprise, home, or education becomes a difficult task in Haiti. To address the need for cash, many Haitians turn to the borlette for the chance to win a transformational lump sum. Over 35,000 lottery stalls in almost every village in Haiti present the poor with a possibility of earning 10, 20 or 50 times their wager to convert insignificant amounts of money into meaningful capital. Many Haitians overlook steady losses of playing the borlette since that same system in fact generates cash. (humanitarianfutures.org)

Bank Borlette, Haiti Lottery, Gonaives Haiti

Borlette is a private lottery system in Haiti. Haitians spend $2 billion a year on these private lotteries, about a quarter of Haiti's gross domestic product.

They are often called "BANK" borlette because the poor invest their money in them.
