SALIVA USED TO FIX THAILAND LOTTERY

BANGKOK, Thailand (Wireless Flash) – Would you believe human saliva helped a gang of thieves rig a state lottery in Thailand for the last five months? According to the Thai newspaper, The Nation, an underground lottery gang figured out a way to spit a luminous substance on balls before they were drawn. The balls only glow when seen up close and police believe that inside contacts at the Government Lottery Office helped manipulate results based on which balls had the glowing spit on them. Although lottery official Chaiwat Pasokpakdee is skeptical the results can be manipulated, he says that a new method of drawing lottery numbers will be announced on Monday to end fears of fixing.
