Why don't they franchise the lottery to an independent organization such as Camelot in the UK. This lottery makes billions and no one knows to who receives it. What is clear is that it is not distributed back to the people as it should be. Who ever wins the franchise should be made to invest in state of the art machinery that is available for all local level outlets such as 7/11, Tesco, Big C, Macro, Family mart, etc etc and also smaller business who have secure facilities. These need to be linked to a national lottery HQ who conduct the live draw and disclose the income generated for that draw. What is apparent is the reluctance for this country to do this because once the true figures are exposed and the people realize that the Lottery has been paying out literally less than 5% of what it takes there will be uproar. Thailand can easily afford to make this lottery legitimate and transparent. No way could they explain a jackpot suddenly jumping from 10 million baht to 100 million baht overnight.

"...the Lottery has been paying out literally less than 5% of what it takes..."

Where does that figure come from, but what does it matter? The idea of a lottery is to raise money.

The prize for matching the 6-figure number is 2 or 3 million baht, depending on the ticket, where do you get your 10 million and 100 million figures from?

Just about guaranteed that the point of sale will end up in convenience stores, ie money for nothing for the big end of town.

The lotto ticket sellers , walking around with those wooden boxes get about 10per ticket. ONCE AGAIN......its the middle man getting the biggest share.....the ticket is about 80b . When Its sold for 120 or 130......

This was suppose to be solved last year !!
