BANGKOK, 9 August 2017 (NNT) – The Government Lottery Office (GLO) has prepared agents to carry out an inspection of sellers accused of packaging tickets, warning them that they will lose their sales permission if found out, and announcing that a new ticket design will be launched starting September.

Vacancies on the GLO quota will be given to new vendors and it is expected that the issue should see significance progress in 6 months. 

The office has also announced that a new ticket design for the lottery featuring safeguards against counterfeiting will be put out starting September.

Blah Blah Blah. Nothing ever happens, progress in 6 months, but new tickets in 1 month. Whatever.

When is the GLO going to stop this nonsense, and get the lottery modernized into the computer age.

Problem with over pricing/ greed solved over night.

All they need is to make the price of lottery tickets shown on the ticket itself.
