[snoop1130]

 

The Government Lottery Office (GLO) will consider whether to increase digital lottery ticket sales after all 5.27 million were snapped up in four days and six hours, after the launch of the service via “Pao Tang” platform last Thursday.

 

GLO Director Lt-Col Noon Sansanakhom said today (Monday) that public response to online lottery sales was so overwhelming that there remain more than 10 million traditional lottery tickets available for the June 16th draw.

Good...make more things go digital..better transparency and less corruption. A step in right direction.

Wow... Thailand has just realised this might work. It has been working in the rest of the civilised world for nearly 40 years... shows how fast these people catch up.

 

I always said this country was 40 years behind the rest of the world.
