BANGKOK, July 31 (TNA) – The Government Lottery Office (GLO) board has proposed issuing of a new lottery pattern that uses traditional zodiac signs in addition to the current number draw.
GLO board chairman Patchara Anuntasilpa said the board meeting on Wednesday approved the launch of the new lottery form, representing the pictures of 12 zodiac signs.
Each ticket for the picture draw will cost 50 baht and the draw will take place on the 1st and 16th days of every month.
The winning tickets must have four pictures in exact matching order or four matching pictures in any order.
Prizes will come from 60 per cent of sales.
The board believes that the new game will solve the problem of overpriced lottery tickets and underground lottery.
The idea will be submitted to the Office of the Council of State for consideration before being forwarded to the Cabinet for approval later.
Initially, the new zodiac sign tickets are likely to be sold online and through mobile phone application and vending machines.
Buyers have to use their ID cards to prove that they are aged over 20 years old. (TNA)
