The craze of Keralites for buying lottery tickets is amazing.
I have seen young girls waiting on the road side, for the car selling lottery tickets, to buy the tickets, due to be opened that day. The Government is running the show: printing tickets and distributing through agents. Every now and then there is a draw.
Once I bought a ticket and got Rs. ten! So, instead of giving me money, the agent gave another ticket which brought nothing.
There was a report of a woman who spent Rs. 100 every month for a number of years and ultimately won Rs. ten lakh!
The agents get 20% commission and many people live by this trade.
Sikkim lottery results are shown in some TV channels live. You can see the numbers moving and finally stopping. If you have bet on a particular winning number, the agent will immediately give you the money. It is pure betting.
