BANGKOK : -- Tens of thousands of people flocked to the Government Lottery Office at Sanambin Nam in Nonthaburi province this morning to apply for lottery quota on the first day of the application for lottery quota distribution.

A total of 43 million lottery tickets plus an addition of two million are to be allocated to retailers, the disabled and foundations under a condition that the lottery tickets must be sold at 90 baht apiece or 92 baht at most.
Anyone found out to have overpriced the lottery will have their quota forfeited and redistricted to the other retailers. The tickets are priced at 74.4 baht and profit margin is 15-17 baht per ticket.
The GLO earlier planned to distribute lottery quota to 3,500 retailers a day. The quota allocation will end on August 31.
Meanwhile, it was reported that lottery tickets with the last two digits numbering 92 and 29 are being hunted by retailers and buyers with price offering of 500 baht apiece.
Number 29 relates to General Prayuth Chan-ocha being the 29th prime minister.
