Not just villages. Cities like Pattaya also run a numbers game underground using the lottery results. It's big business. You best not think you can infringe on it as well protected as well. We are still in the 60's. God Bless You and OO.

Oh no, here's the "God Bless You and 00"' again. Members asked last time but

you never answered (that I know of). 

What is the meaning of "00" ?

Thanks, and God Bless You and 77.

So many people are doing this.  Why is this news and why are these 3 people special?  You will probably find that 1 in 10 people are involved in this numbers game either running it or buying numbers, maybe more.  They don't even hide it.  I could go and buy numbers right now off about a dozen people if I really wanted to.
