On December 19, police in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, launched a raid and successfully sealed a large underground lottery den, arresting a 30-year-old female boss named Yufei (pseudonym). The den operated a network called "Huge Fortune House," covering sales across Bangkok's Bang Khae district and other parts of Thailand, forming a mature illegal sales system.
5 Years of Illegal Operations: Main Network + Layered Distribution by Agents
This den was not a temporary setup; it has been secretly operating for over 5 years! The prizes sold are diverse, including three-digit tail awards, front and back awards, and two-digit top and bottom awards. The operation model is clear, with Yufei's main network responsible for coordinating, including distributing tickets, announcing results, and managing agents, who then sell to end-users, forming a complete illegal chain. Each ticket sells for 150 Thai Baht, and agents earn about 20 Baht per ticket, with the main network averaging a monthly income of 40,000-50,000 Baht.
Substantial Seizure at the Scene: Thousands of Tickets and Related Equipment
The police operation was fruitful, directly seizing 3,733 tickets, covering various types such as "Wealth Mother House," "Lucky Rich House," and "Gold and Silver Bag House." In addition, electronic devices used to manage this underground network were also confiscated. It's important to note that the police conducted the raid with a court-approved search warrant and confirmed the entire operation model and agent chain through data analysis, securing solid evidence.
Case Investigation + Public Warning: Stay Away from Illegal Lottery Risks
The police have now initiated an investigation against Yufei under the charge of "organizing or inducing others to participate in gambling through unauthorized electronic media." Further investigations into downstream agents and other related individuals will continue. It's also important to remind everyone that illegal lotteries carry significant risks, not only potentially leading to total financial loss but also involving legal liabilities. Everyone should be vigilant, comply with relevant laws and regulations, and stay away from such illegal activities.
