In a picture taken on July 16, 2012, vendors display lottery tickets for sale in Hanoi. Creative minds have also devised a way of using the official lottery as the basis for an illegal game known as lo-de, where punters predict the last two lotto numbers of the standard daily draw. Apart from a state-run lottery and a few foreigner-only casinos, betting is banned in Vietnam, but the law is widely flouted and every football World Cup or European Championship prompts a surge in illegal gambling rings, police say.
