Hawaii Lottery Mirrors Thai Lottery
Hawaii Reporter | The “Thai lottery” case being investigated by federal authorities and police here involves “a mom and pop operation that’s been going on for 20 years within the Laotian and Thai communities,” defense attorney Myles Breiner said today.
Agents from the FBI, IRS and Homeland Security as well as HPD officers staged a series of raids in late April, seizing more than $120,000 in cash, jewelry and other evidence from two public housing apartments and various Honolulu shops and restaurants.
The raids followed a six-month investigation by Hawaii Reporter which determined that tickets to a locally-run lottery game patterned after the legal national lottery in Thailand were being sold from small groceries, retail shops and restaurants in Honolulu.
