webfact Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 16th May lottery draw to go ahead BANGKOK(NNT) - The Government Lottery Office (GLO) has postponed three lottery drawings: the 1st April, 16th April, and 2 nd May drawings. The office has confirmed it will not postpone the next drawing on 16 May, and will sell lottery tickets for 1 June drawing as usual. Any persons who have purchased lottery tickets in the postponed drawings can win prizes in 16th May draw. The GLO Spokesman Thanawat Polvichai said today the office will strictly enforce health and social distancing measures at the Lottery draw event. Lottery sales will continue as normal from the 1st June draw onwards. Sellers and customers are encouraged to practice precautionary measures by wearing a face mask and sanitizing their hands when making transactions. A GLO Spokesman said today that lottery sellers should keep in mind the reduced purchasing power of people in the neighbourhood where they sell tickets, due to the financial impact of COVID-19. He urged sellers to purchase tickets for resale in appropriate quantities. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-05-01 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that the rich middle men buy up a large allocation of the available tickets. These are then sold on to the street vendors who have no option than to sell these tickets at above face value. The whole system is archaic, designed to pass money up the chain and cries out to be replaced by a properly organised online lottery as operated in most other countries. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
