NEW DELHI: The government is framing rules to ban double-digit lotteries that account for nearly 75 per cent sales of lottery tickets, restrict the maximum number of draws in a day to 25 per state and fix a minimum price for lottery tickets.
The regulations - based on the recommendations of a study group set up by the home ministry in 2006 - are the first attempt to frame nationwide rules for the lottery business, under the Lottery (Regulation) Act 1998.
Double-digit lotteries are considered ruinously active as they are easier to win.
