More than 2.4 million digital lottery tickets snapped up in just one day

[snoop1130]

 

More than 2.4 million digital lottery tickets were sold yesterday (Thursday), the first day of Thailand’s online lottery ticket sales, via the ”Pao Tang” application, by the Government Lottery Office (GLO) in a bid to address the overpricing of lottery tickets by unscrupulous vendors.

 

According to Lawaron Saengsanit, chairman of the GLO, 612,141 people bought 2,460,723 digital lottery tickets at 80-baht each, out of a total of 5,279,500 tickets available, between 6am and 11pm last night.

He said the public response to the online sale is encouraging, but whether digital sales will be increased in the future will be considered carefully, because the GLO wants to make sure that the conventional way of ticket sales, by vendors, will not be affected.

Otherwise, they will cut our heads off... Better not affected. Or just a bit. Peace, everybody!

Such a shame to see these poor hawkers and vendors ruined by digital  technology. What is the government  doing to help them replace the lost income?

Give them each a crystal ball and they can predict the winning numbers?

They will be fine. Purchasers will still want to stand in front of the tickets, waiting to be magically drawn to one.

Do it 100%, too many middlemen and steer crooks with gouging on their minds.

They had their chance to clean up their act and ignored it.

Cut them out.

Unfortunately most of the middlemen are ex or currently serving  generals in the Thai armed forces or in the RTP.

Until the numbers can be chosen digitally the scam will continue.
