Panama lottery sellers seek details on planned digitalisation

Regulation

Lottery ticket sellers in Panama called on the National Beneficence Lottery to clarify its planned modernisation, saying digitalisation could threaten their livelihoods. Sellers' representatives requested details on the number of machines and the plan's impact; they said the lottery's digital format could save up to USD13m a year, while the traditional system generates USD96m annually.

The proposed shift could affect the work and income model of about 14,700 lottery sellers.
