PATTAYA: -- In the early hours of Tuesday, a 25-year-old Thai Lottery Vendor reported the theft of tickets by a man claiming to be a Police Officer, in Soi 7 off Pattaya Beach Road.

Khun Penapar had just sold a Lottery Ticket to a foreigner at a Bar in Soi 7 and initially he was interested in purchasing eight tickets but only purchased one. As Khun Penapar was preparing to staple the unsold tickets to the inside of her ticket case, a Thai man approached her and asked for a price for the seven unsold tickets.

The vendor quoted a price of 630 Baht which equates to 90 Baht a ticket, 10 Baht more than she is allowed to sell them for. At this point the man, who appeared to be in a drunken state, announced he was a Police Officer and the woman was under arrest for Lottery Ticket over-charging.

RTP should focus in more important things than arresting a lottery tickets seller.

I agree 100%, they should be out arresting law breakers.....

Well, at least she is a somewhat honest (but not too smart) lottery vendor in admitting she was charging more than the govt allowed price.

Maybe you're right, maybe you're not but whatever, the RTP did not arrest a lottery vendor. You should focus more on reading the report properly.

Crime of the century !! wow arresting a lottery vendor.

Is that the best news of the day???

For the last time ! They did not arrest the lottery vendor! Is it really so hard to read the whole story ?

I don't think the lottery seller was overcharging so much as just poor at math.

Are you saying that 630 divided by 7 is not 90 ?

The 12.5% commission is included! Commonly know as VAT, vulture added tax or the very affluent takings.

No, not at all. I'm implying that the vendor multiplies 7 by 80 and got 630.
