Lotterie tickets are an invaluable source of income for many people in the US, providing the chance of winning large sums with small investments. But before purchasing lottery tickets there are certain things you should keep in mind.
Laos’ national lottery is run by a private company linked to its ruling elite, according to government sources. These firms pay millions each year in order to run it and are not subject to any public scrutiny according to an anonymous state official who requested anonymity. Some directors and senior managers from these businesses possess strong connections to members of both its political and business elite, according to this source.
Though more complaints have been lodged against the national lottery, the government remains unwilling to implement tighter controls due to concerns that this would harm morale among lottery players, many of whom represent some of the poorest citizens of their nation. Instead, some changes have been implemented to restore public faith in its operations, including cutting the number of drawings per week from three down to one.
Lucky numbers from Lao culture that symbolize cats have appeared four times this year in Lao National Lotterie’s thrice-weekly drawing, prompting questions of its fairness. Vilasack Phommaluck, one of the committee that oversees it all, dismissed such allegations by saying their team double-checked each winning ball before declaring victory.
Laos does not permit gambling per se; however, several Special Economic Zones throughout the country provide legal gambling sites where casino operatorss operate legally. Lao casinos accept players from around the world and feature some of the most sought-after casino games.
There are also a variety of online casinos which accept Laotian players without fear of arrest; some even allow them to access games from mobile phones.
Laos Lottery provides not only great chances to win big amounts of money but has also played a vital role in building or rebuilding churches in Vientiane. Profits from the lottery have enabled religious congregations to forgo donations as a source of financing; now having enough money available to expand and improve facilities. Besides contributing financially towards building or rebuilding churches in Vientiane, Laos Lottery profits have enabled medical care and other social services for poor and needy people, as well as supporting various educational and cultural programs – total prize pool currently stands at USD 185 Million.
