Laos Lotto is a national lottery game in Lao People’s Democratic Republic operated by Lottery State Enterprise and available as two, three, four and five digit games on mobile phones.
Laos lottery is a popular pastime, with many spending their hard-earned cash every week on it, but some have raised questions over its integrity. Recently, when four consecutive draws featuring number 67 occurred within months, speculation arose that officials may be manipulating results; however, Vilasack Phommaluck, chairperson of the committee that oversees Laos’ lottery committee dismissed these accusations by asserting that numbers are selected randomly by computer.
Players have expressed concerns over the weight of lottery balls used for drawing. A Vientiane resident told RFA’s Lao Service he suspects different balls are being weighted differently to give certain numbers an advantage over others; Vilasack denied this allegation by saying her committee carefully reviews every lottery ball before permitting its use in drawing.
Although gambling remains illegal in Laos, its popularity remains strong due to Special Economic Zones that permit online casinos that accept players from this nation. Recently, Laos’ government issued a directive instructing law enforcement agencies and police forces to strictly deal with those running illegal lotteries, slot machine outlets or gaming sites in their country; those caught for the first time will receive an official warning notice; any second offenses will be fined 50 percent of their illegal lottery product’s value.
Lottery winnings provide a significant source of income for many families in Lao PDR. Every week, thousands purchase lottery tickets; some lucky people even manage to win large jackpots! In 18th century France, King Louis XIV allowed religious orders to run lotteries as an alternative way of funding congregations without taxes; these lotteries quickly gained in popularity until by 19th century they had become one of Paris church district’s primary sources of revenue.
Lottery winnings not only help families, but are also used for various social welfare programs and scholarships for poor students. Over the past decade, government budget increases have increased to attract more participants in the Lottery.
