How much do Lottery Peddlers Make?

[Claire]

I often see elderly men, women, deaf and mute persons selling Big Sweep tickets at hawker centres and kopishops.

Once in a while, I will support them by buying a couple of tickets, not because I condone gambling but I really pity them. I will then give these tickets to my mum.

I have absolutely no idea how much they make per ticket sold. I pity them because our "esteemed" multi-millionaire Ministers are oblivious to the plight of these under privileged class in society.

For my own knowledge, I just want to know how much can they make a day. Can it cover 3 meals or at least 2?

While Singapore Pools benefits from sales of these tickets, I am sure these sellers do not get health benefits nor any form of insurance should they fall or injure themselves while Singapore Pools take all the profit.

Fair?

Sad. Real tragedy for this nation.

How much you think the roadside newspaper vendor earns per paper?
Or the tiger beer lady in coffee tiam for every bottle of beer she sells?
Big sweep around 5cts per ticket depending on quantity sold also.....more tickets sold higher commission per ticket.
Bonus is you get a cut of the winnings if the ticket sold strikes (2-5%). That's why last time got these sellers wait for you at collection center after you strike hoping to get angbao

Narong, the winner pays the peddler or Singapore Pools?

How does the peddlar knows if he or she is the one who sold the winning tickets when they have ao many numbers to keep track?

If the system is to create an income stream for these under privileged, isn't it better to give them a basic income and commission if sales exceed certain fixed targets plus a basic medical insurance for them given the amount that these elderly and disabled have to walk ~ to peddle these tickets.

I am sure Singapore Pools can afford such costs as it is like a drop in the ocean for them. After all, it makes millions and millions every year.

Winning commission from sing pools machiam how those property developers pay agents for selling their property.? The tickets sold by vendors are in sequence and unsold ones returned to sing pools I supposed they do keep track due to the bonus payout. But now vendors are barred from solicitating angbaos

Hi Narong, even if they do, I think it is equitable that the winner should at least give them something.

Tissue paper sellers and lottery ticket sellers work for syndicates who cream off the lion share of their earnings.

Don't buy things from them.
