The Government Lottery Office (GLO) will increase digital lottery ticket availability by 2 million, to 7.1 million, for the August 1st draw and may periodically increase them by 2 million a time, up to a maximum of 20 million tickets this year, according to Director-General of the Revenue Department and Chairman of the GLO board Lawaron Saengsanit, as the online option has been proven very popular, with over 2.8 million tickets sold in just six hours last week.

 

Citing the positive public response to digital ticket sales, through the “Pao Tang” platform for the last two draws, which saw the 5.1 million tickets for each draw sell out in a couple of days, Lawaron said that the GLO has decided to increase digital lottery ticket availability for the August 1st, tickets for which will be available online from July 17th.

 

He also said, however, that the increases will be done on step-by-step basis, to maintain a balance between digital and conventional ticket sales.

Cha Cha's only achievement, albeit a pathetic one.  Putting thousands of low income and cripples out of a source of income.  Instead he should have banned the middlemen from buying direct from the GLO.  Shame on you Prayuth.
