webfact Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 by Paul Rujopakarn BANGKOK (NNT) - The Government Lottery Office (GLO) has announced new product lines to be released next year. The announcement was made by Dr Thanawat Polvichai, board member and spokesperson for the GLO. He added that the office will hold public hearings on the matter sometime in the later half of this year, after the administration declares COVID-19 an endemic disease. According to the GLO spokesperson, these products include prizes for two and three digits, whose tickets will sport new designs based on the 12 zodiac signs. Once the GLO finishes gathering public input, it will propose the production plan to the Cabinet for consideration.

According to local media, the introduction of the new tickets was the culmination of multiple studies from several universities. In the studies, the authors cited similar schemes implemented in 2003 that effectively suppressed illegal lottery operations and prevented regular tickets from exceeding their original 80 baht price tag. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-04-04 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Cut out this street "ticket" purchase nonsense. Go to a store, choose your own 6 numbers and register it online, get a receipt. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Ok. So allegedly the lottery was fixed in 2003. So explain what happened between then and now. A few years back they said they were fixing it so that vendors wouldn't be able to make and sell sets. How did that work out? It sounds like they will introduce another separate lottery product. So then we will have 2 games being sold for more than ticket value. Edited April 4, 2022 by rwill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Bill Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 6 hours ago, webfact said: suppressed illegal lottery operations Oh really!! During my 20 years of living in rural Northern Thailand, it was the local "village" lotteries that were the most popular because out in the sticks you could not buy an official ticket unless you travelled into town which often meant a long journey!! Also the "village" lottery offered far better odds and ways of winning for whatever amount you wanted to bet - no fixed price!!. For example, I won two amounts of 30,000 Baht with bets of 100 Baht each on a selection of the 3 numbers turning up like 128, 581 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
