Lao lottery officials are rigging the system to avoid large pay-outs, sources in the communist country tell RFA’s Lao Service. Drawings often show numbers that disappear from purchased tickets, or disappear entirely after the drawing.

The private business interests responsible for the national lottery include members of the country’s ruling elite, a source says.
