A Lao national has won the Powerball jackpot, making him one of the world’s richest people. His win is the fourth largest in history. He and his wife plan to split the prize, but are donating the rest to charity. The winner is Cheng Saephan, a 46-year-old immigrant from Laos who lives in Portland, Oregon. He wore a sash at his news conference that identified him as a member of the Iu Mien ethnic group, many of whom assisted American forces during the Vietnam war and fled to Thailand before settling in the United States.
In the 1970s, instant tickets became popular with many lottery operators adding keno and video lottery terminals to their offerings. These machines are similar to slot machines, but they can be played with a paper ticket instead of coins or cash. These tickets have become a major source of lottery revenue in many jurisdictions, but they are not legal in all states.
Although gambling is illegal in most of Laos, there are Special Economic Zones where casinos operate. These zones are leased out by the government to boost foreign trade. The casinos offer popular games such as roulette, poker and blackjack. Players from Laos can also gamble at offshore online casinos.
