Thailand’s over-a-decade long online lottery saga, pitting Loxley Public Company against the Government Lottery Office (GLO), came to an end today when the Supreme Administrative Court ordered the GLO to pay Loxley 1.65 billion baht in compensation for the failed project.

 

The compensation is divided into 1.04 billion baht in damages and the rest to cover expenses incurred to maintain the lottery machines until the GLO fulfils its obligations under the contract.

 

On June 28th, 2018, the Administrative Court ordered the GLO to pay Loxley 945 million baht in compensation, plus 7.5% annual interest, for the delay in the implementation of the online lottery project. The company, however, appealed the verdict to the Supreme Administrative Court.

Agree with Phuketboy above.  Thai lottery is a scam.  Only Hi-sos win (an occasional peasant);  numbers printed in advance; drawn in secret; winnings shared.  Uk lottery pays out 30+ million baht each WEEK on tickets costing less than Thai tickets AND you get to choose your own numbers.

........drawn in secret;

The Thai National Lottery weekly draw is televised live.......

The black underground (????) lottery run all over the country turns over more money.

Live TV draw can easily be simulated once the winners have been agreed upon.  I have no proof, it is merely my suspicion based on the fact that NO area of Thai society is uncorrupted and ALL sectors are run by High Society for their own benefit.
