The winner of a recent national lottery drawing in Laos said her family is her first priority with the prize money she won. She also plans to use some of the winnings for travel, particularly to South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. “I am really happy that my phone hasn’t stopped ringing since news of my victory broke out,” she told RFA’s Lao Service. “I am so excited to spend my new life with my loved ones.”

Private business interests rig the system in Laos, manipulating drawings to avoid large pay-outs. Numbers that are deemed unlucky or that are likely to be chosen by local people disappear from tickets sold throughout the day of the drawing, a source in the capital Vientiane told RFA this year. “It is time for the government to resume control of the national lottery because it can’t be trusted,” the source added.
