Santo Domingo.- The National Lottery administrator today accused the betting parlors grouped in FENABANCA of mounting an offensive against him, aimed at in his view forcing him to resign, and thus avoid paying the more than 300 million peso debt he said some of those businesses owe the Lottery.

Jose Francisco Peña Guaba said the only disagreement between the Lottery and the owners of the parlors is the debt which some of those businesses refuse to pay, even though the Lottery’s Controller certified the debt and the Accountants Guild audited it when he assumed the post.

The official said the parlor owners were given 60 days to visibly place the players’ rights in their premises, as many of them sell numbers beyond their capacity to pay, which he said is deceitful, whereas others sell to minors.

That obviously includes food.

Why not put R. Segura in charge of the Lottery. He will steal just as much, but the food bills will be lower.

DR lottery system is to screw the public how many times have I heard people having the winning number then to be told "oh no you got the wrong number this is the actual number that came out" something totally different from what was presented just not to pay people. I hope that the lottery system is investigated properly and to put those crooks in jail for a long time. I know that money influences ,but it's about right and wrong which DR does represent none.

SO P*I*SED!
