Two million additional digital lottery tickets, introduced by the Government Lottery Office (GLO) for the September 16 draw, were sold in just 22 seconds, GLO Director Lt Col Noon Sansanakhom disclosed today.

 

He said that the 20,000 books of tickets were offered for sale to the dealers via the Pao Tang application on September 6.

 

 

 

 

The demand was more than the supply, as the dealers had placed orders for seven million digital lottery tickets, but only two million were available.

I'd like to see how many of those digital tickets "win" compared to the regular printed tickets.

Somehow I don't think they'll every release those numbers though.

Worst value lottery that I have ever seen

And today in the Newspaper that shall not be named reports surface that Thai Household debt is up 8.4% YoY with the average per household sitting at over 600,000 baht.  
 

Gambling and Praying may be seen as the only way some desperate households see themselves getting out from under the rubble. 

No gambling problem here 🤣

including or excluding mortgages? makes a big difference.

That it did not say but it added that average household debt was around 90% of income in Thailand compared from memory close to 70% in Malaysia and about 65% in Singapore (where housing is super expensive).  It also added that loans taken out through informal channels had jumped by about 10% in the last year as bank tightened their lending criteria.
