GLO scraps contracts with over 4,000 lottery dealers for selling lottery tickets in sets 

By Thai PBS

 

 

The Government Lottery Office (GLO) has scrapped the contracts with 3,858 lottery dealers and also with 544 registered lottery traders after finding out that they were involved in selling tickets in sets for higher prices, said GLO spokesman Thanawat Polvichai on Thursday (Nov 16).

 

He added that the GLO was in the process of revoking the contracts with another 3,000 lottery dealers suspected of involvement in putting lottery tickets in sets so they could claim higher prices from the retailers.

 

Of late, lottery vendors at various spots throughout the country sold their tickets in sets of 2, 3, 4 and up to a maximum 10 per set at 100 baht each instead of selling a single ticket at the controlled price of 80 baht.  This malpractice has provoked widespread complaints of lottery overpricing from the buyers.
