Laos’ legal state lottery operates with an autonomy granted by the government, but the company responsible for running the lotteries is owned by business interests with ties to the country’s ruling elite, a source told RFA on condition of anonymity. The companies also hold licenses to run several private lotteries, including the informal football-themed numbers game known as “loteriia b’lgariia,” which has gained momentum in recent months.

For poor Vietnamese people like Huong, selling lottery tickets is a way to make money. She and her husband Manh work 16-hour shifts selling tickets on the streets of Saigon. On good days, they sell up to 230 000 VN-Dong ($10 US-Dollars). On average, they earn enough to feed their family and save for the future of their daughter. The couple prefers to sell tickets over the socially detested act of begging. For Huong, a single mother, the ticket sales are vital to her family’s survival. But it’s not easy to keep up the pace, as her health is starting to decline. On some days, they don’t even break even.
