Editor;

Gambling is illegal but there is a state lottery. Hypocrisy? Poor Thai people encouraged to gamble their hard earned money at really bad odds, with next to no chance of winning anything. I can remember when I was a kid, Sunday afternoons my Mum, aunts and grandparents would get together and play ‘Beat Your Neighbours’ for coppers. I can’t imagine the police kicking down the door and carting them off to the Nick and maybe having to take a urine test.
