The Government Lottery Office will go ahead with issuing 3-digit lottery tickets in the middle of this year, to draw gamblers away from illegal 3-digit lottery and to solve the chronic lottery overpricing problem.

 

Initially, one million 3-digit lottery, or N3 tickets will be issued, according to a GLO official, adding that they remain undecided as to whether the lottery tickets will be distributed to new dealers, yet to be appointed, or to existing dealers of digital lottery tickets.

 

Current lottery dealers have welcomed news of the new lottery product, claiming that it will boost their income, as they dismissed the suggestion that it will encourage more people to gamble, noting that many people are already engaged in underground 3-digit betting anyway.

Yes much better to have two overpriced lotteries than just one.

The government openly condones 100 baht ticket or as i was offered the other night 5 for 700,  i have been told they see it as income for people unable to work else where, our local electrical store sells them out the front of there shop and i would say they are not a poor business.
