Selling tickets for the government lottery has long been a lifeline for underprivileged, elderly and disabled Thais. However, that source of income is drying up.

Self destructed by gouging... no sympathy.

My wireless keyboard does odd things sometimes. It misses words and letters out and other times it adds bits and letters, usually when the battery is low.

Damn recalcitrant keyboards.  They get the blame for "mis-posts" like motorists who have accidents blame 'brake failure or lap nai".

Lets put the lottery online for the controlling rich to make a nice profit never mind about the 1000s of poor reliant sellers they will find some weeds to eat ????

Shouldn't be greedy to start with and sell them for more than face value which is and was forbidden.

“I had some 100 unsold tickets on the day the last lottery draw was held,” she said. “I was very anxious and worried. If I had failed to sell them, I would have had to shoulder the loss.”

Unless they won.
