Sefaz-MS confirma Dodmax como vencedora de licitação da Lotesul

The Secretaria de Estado de Fazenda (Sefaz) of Mato Grosso do Sul formally confirmed Dodmax as the winner of the Lotesul lottery concession, with the decision published in the state's official gazette on June 19. The announcement concluded the appeals phase following the bidding process, during which two competing companies filed objections to the award.

The confirmation marks the end of a contested procurement process typical of major gaming concessions in Brazil. Lottery licenses represent significant revenue opportunities for both operators and state governments, making competitive bids and regulatory scrutiny standard. The resolution of competing claims and formal publication signals that Dodmax can proceed with implementing its operational plan for the state lottery.

The Lotesul concession award reflects ongoing activity in Brazil's lottery and gaming sector, where state-level contracts remain valuable assets. As Brazil's iGaming market develops, lottery operations continue as a distinct but complementary segment. The Dodmax award demonstrates how traditional lottery licensing remains a competitive and regulated process, with multiple operators vying for state contracts. The outcome will shape lottery operations in Mato Grosso do Sul for the concession period.
