elef Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Lottery jackpot worth Bt100m Published on Jun 30, 2004 For lottery punters, tomorrow is a big day; one ticketholder will hit the jackpot and walk away Bt100 million richer. In an elaborate scheme to boost ticket sales, the Government Lottery Office has promised to pay out the largest lottery pot in the country?s history. The GLO promised to keep drawing numbers until a winner is found. In order to qualify for the jackpot, players must bet a minimum of Bt100 on the two and threedigit lottery ticket, also known as the ?new ticket?. They can place as many bets as they want. If they choose to place a lesser bet for tickets priced at Bt50 and Bt20 respectively, prizes will be Bt50 million for the Bt50 ticket and Bt25 million for the Bt20 ticket. The jackpot winner will be selected based on the following criteria: The serial number of the new ticket must coincide with the first prize of the sixdigit lottery, or ?regular ticket?. The twodigit booklet number of the new ticket must also match the twodigit prize of the regular ticket. In case none of the twodigit booklet numbers match the twodigit prize, the GLO will keep on drawing a twodigit number until the winning booklet is determined. The jackpot prize for the new ticket will be announced at tomorrow?s draw following the regular ticket?s first prize and its twodigit prize. Ticket vendors reported more than a 50percent increase in sales of new tickets. The Nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
