Lottery officials in the communist country of Laos are rigging the system, manipulating winning numbers to avoid large pay-outs, sources tell RFA’s Lao Service. Often, numbers that are popular with buyers disappear from the tickets sold during the day of the drawing. For example, the number 09 was supposedly unavailable throughout the day of the Oct. 14 drawing but then appeared as the winning number only 10 minutes before the results were announced. “Private business interests should not be responsible for the national lottery, because the drawings can’t be trusted,” a Lao source said.
