Brawl in the lottery industry
View(s):Lottery ticket sellers are up in arms over the latest Mahapola online lottery accusing the authorities of transferring earnings from the new lottery abroad.
Seen here is a poster at a lottery ticket seller’s street-side stall in Colombo which promoted their recent April 7th protest campaign. The poster said the campaign was “against the online lottery which equals to casinos operated by foreigners and sending people’s money abroad under the cover of Mahapola”. Pic by Athula Devapriya
