It appeared as a happy ending for struggling lottery vendors who decided to end a rally after their demands for government assistance in securing a quota of cheaper tickets were met. However, only time will tell whether the vendors' plight will really be resolved.
The vendors, led by Jeerasak Noikam, president of the Loei Province Lottery Club, were satisfied with a pledge for a bigger quota from Anucha Nakasai, the minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office, who met them in his capacity as chairman of a panel tackling lottery overpricing.
