PORTLAND, Ore. — An immigrant from Laos has a reason to smile after winning an Oregon Powerball jackpot prize worth $1.3 billion dollars. Forty-six-year-old Cheng Saephan will split the lump sum of $422 million dollars after taxes, which he said will change his life. The winner is part of the Iu Mien ethnic group that fled from Laos to Thailand and then settled in the United States after the end of the Vietnam War. The Portland area has a large community of Iu Mien people, with a Buddhist temple, a church and social organizations, as well as businesses.
Lottery officials in communist Laos are rigging the national lottery, manipulating numbers to avoid large pay-outs, sources say. Drawings of the state-run Vietlott lottery, held three times each week, often display numbers that have already been purchased or deemed unlucky by buyers. In a case in Oct. 14, the winning number 134 vanished from tickets sold throughout the day of the drawing, a source told RFA’s Lao Service. It reappeared as 662 only 10 minutes before the drawing was scheduled to begin.
In Canada, before 1967 buying a lottery ticket was illegal, but then the federal Liberal government introduced an omnibus bill to bring up-to-date several obsolete laws, including one concerning lotteries. Today, Canada has four nationwide lotteries: Atlantic Lottery Corporation (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador), Loto-Quebec (Quebec), Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (Ontario), and Western Canada Lottery Corporation (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut). All of these lottery operations are operated by provincial/territorial governments. The lottery has become one of the most popular forms of recreation and entertainment in Canada. In addition, it has become an important source of revenue for many provinces and territories. The Canadian lottery industry is also a major employer. Its annual contribution to the economy amounts to more than $3 billion. The money raised by the lottery is used for a wide variety of programs including health care, education, and infrastructure projects. In addition, the lottery has contributed to the development of sports, culture and other social projects. The lottery industry has become a global business with an estimated market value of more than US$200 billion. Its worldwide growth has been driven by advances in technology, increased consumer demand for convenience and safety, and the expansion of international markets.
