During his time in Vietnam Souphanouvong had forged alliances with Kaysone Phomvihane, Nouhak Phoumsavanh, Thao O Anourack and Tiao Souk Vongvichit, who would go on to form the Lao Front for Independence from France, or Pathet Lao as it was known. The group fought for the independence of Laos in a bloody war that lasted until 1953.
The national lottery is a popular pastime in New Zealand and is regulated by the government through an autonomous Crown entity, Lotto New Zealand (formerly the Lottery Grants Board). Lottery profits are distributed directly to community organisations such as sports and recreation clubs, cultural groups, and arts and film commissions.
A number of people in the country have raised suspicions that lottery officials are rigging the game by manipulating winning numbers. Drawings for the lottery, which take place three times a week, often show numbers that disappear from purchased tickets or are deemed unlucky by some of the participants. For example, the number 67 is commonly associated with the turtle, an animal that many Laos believe brings bad luck, so few people buy anything featuring that number.
Other concerns have been raised about the weight of the lottery balls. It is believed that the heaviest balls will fall into the hole faster and lower than lighter ones, which could influence the outcome of the draw. Lottery official Vilasack Phommaluck told RFA that the committee overseeing the lottery regularly double checks the lottery balls to ensure they are of the same weight.
Vilasack said other changes might be made to help restore faith in the lottery, including cutting back on the frequency of the drawings from three times a week to once a week. He also suggested that reducing the number of winners or showing the drawings live on TV might reduce the likelihood of shenanigans. The committee is considering these and other possible ways to address the issue, he said. Reported by Brooks Boliek and Ounkeo Souksavanh for RFA’s Lao Service. Editing by Jonathan Moffatt.
