Acodeco urges reports of illegal lottery ticket mark-ups in Panama
Panama’s Consumer Protection and Competition Authority, Acodeco, urged lottery buyers to report tickets sold above their printed price or outside authorised outlets. General administrator Ramón Abadi Bali said the ticket numbering can help identify the seller; verified violations could lead to withdrawal of the seller’s booklet after an administrative investigation.
Reports can help identify sellers and trigger investigations into breaches of lottery sales rules.
