Lao state officials and business interests with a stake in the national lottery are rigging the game by manipulating winning numbers, according to sources in the communist country. The drawings of the national lottery, held three times a week in Vientiane, often show numbers that disappear from purchased tickets or that are deemed unlucky by most people. One example occurred on Oct. 14, when the number 509 appeared as only a five on tickets sold throughout the day, a source told RFA’s Lao Service.

Finance Minister Bounchom Ubonpaseuth recently addressed the issue of illegal online lotteries, which he said lured people into habitual betting and should be regulated. He urged the relevant sector to invest in and set up a system that can trace those involved.
