Pheu Thai party’s new campaign gimmick – a “savings lottery”

 

 

Many Thais have a penchant for gambling while having no real savings. Now the Pheu Thai party is offering them a new type of lottery which combines an enticement to save with the chance of winning prizes.

Pheu Thai party’s chief election strategist, Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, said they are proposing a “savings lottery”. Unlike ordinary lottery tickets, which are discarded without a winning number, she said that the price of the savings lottery tickets will not be lost, but will remain the account of the buyer with the chance of winning an amount equivalent to the two or three-digit prizes of the national lottery tickets.

 

A person who starts buying the savings lottery tickets at the age of 20, according to Sudarat, they will have a considerable nest-egg by the time they reach 60.

Absolutely, and it's been very successful in the UK for many, many years.

 

But premium bonds are very simple with the same numbers forever. Reading the article it does seem they are over-complicating things by physically issuing tickets for every draw.

this "new gimmick" is a copy of Government Savings Bank lottery scheme. It's been running over 10 years. Copy, copy, copy...

"He said that the party’s savings scheme is different from the Government Savings Bank’s lottery because the party’s plan is to issue tickets every fortnight, like the national lottery tickets. Buyers will be able to purchase as many tickets as they want".

 

So is the  Pheu  Thai party planning to hold the savers funds !!

Gotta love the ingenuity of enticement. Gonna give the 2 kids, the wife each 10k to buy for the first selling.

Exactly what I thought. Perhaps "Mr T' got the idea on a visit to London.

Yes but the GSB lottery scheme probably runs properly.

 

Would you want to trust PTP or their "associates" to administer this type of scam scheme.
