Lotto’s cricket info and quiz set for long run

The popular cricket quiz show hosted by Edwin Seeraj returns to the airwaves today following the start of the West Indies/Pakistan three-match, limited overs series in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
According to a release,  the start of the West Indies’ nine-month engagement of  home and away matches featuring Pakistan, New Zealand and England will see 46 days of cricket including six test matches, 13 ODIS and three T20 being broadcast along with Seeraj’s quiz show.

The quiz show, which is sponsored by the Guyana Lottery Company and Digicel, will be broadcast exclusively on the National Communications Network (NCN) during the lunch break of each day’s play.

The programme, according to Seeraj, seeks to entertain and educate the viewers about the game. Each day there will be a profile of an international player.

Also call in viewers will be able to win shirts, caps, radios, lottery tickets, confectionery, hampers and cellular phone credits.

At the conclusion of the England Tour on April 30 next year, a special drawing will be held and bonus prizes given out.
