The Government Lottery Office (GLO) is set to launch the sale of digital lottery tickets through registered lottery dealers on March 17th, to provide buyers with another channel through which to buy lotteries at the controlled price of 80 baht.

 

GLO Director Lt-Col Nhun Sansanakom said that lottery dealers who have signed contracts with the GLO will be allocated a quota of digital tickets, which can be sold via the GLO’s website, www.glolotteryshop.com, starting on March 17th for the April 1st draw.

 

He said that the dealers can still sell physical lottery tickets, adding that each dealer can use only one device, a tablet, a smart phone or a smart TV, to log into the GLO’s website via the Pao Tang application.

For a lot of people selling lottory tickets is a nice easy job, sitting in front of a bank all day, or whatever looking at their phone most of the time, time they got a proper job.

 

It will be the blind and handicaped  sellers, a lot who cannot do anything else, will suffer, they should be made a special   case and allowed to carry on selling they tickets, a lot of people will still by a paper ticket as they do not have a phone or do not know how the system works.

They should have stuck to the 80 baht per ticket then... instead of putting on their own little mark-up.
