The government is taking action to regulate illegal lotteries in Laos, Finance Minister Bounchom Ubonpaseuth told lawmakers this week. He said the Ministry of Finance is looking for investment to help develop a system that can identify and trace those selling illegal lotteries. He added that his ministry is working with other ministries to tackle this problem.
Illegal lotteries have become increasingly popular in Laos since the country’s communist-ruled regime ended prohibition on private businesses in 2005. Many of these operations sell lotteries that are based in other countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and China. In addition, they often use a fake address to conceal their identity. The government is investigating reports that some of these illegal lotteries are targeting minors.
Laos’s national lottery has been plagued by questions about its integrity after lucky numbers that represent the feline animal in the country’s culture appeared in winning combinations for three consecutive drawings at the end of September. The number 67 is commonly associated with the turtle, an animal considered to bring bad luck, meaning few Lao gamblers would pick anything with that number.
In an attempt to restore faith in the lottery, the government has already cut back on how often it holds a drawing. The number of games was reduced from three to two times a week and the scratchcard lottery was eliminated. The change is expected to reduce the number of people addicted to gambling and help save the state money, according to Vilasack Phommaluck, a Finance Ministry official who serves on the committee that oversees the lottery.
While the government has tried to restore confidence in the lottery, some players remain skeptical. They say that the company that runs the lottery knows what numbers are being played and could manipulate results. They say the weight of lottery balls is also being manipulated. If a heavy ball falls faster than the lighter ones it could be a sign of manipulation.
A woman who won the lottery this year said that she plans to share the money with her family and travel around the world. Dokkeo, who did not want to give her last name, said she hoped to visit South Korea, Japan and Vietnam. She also wants to make a new home for her children. Previously, she lived in an old apartment.
