Taking their inspiration from the Kingdom’s neighbour to the east, two women were arrested for organising a lottery in the capital’s Sen Sok district on Tuesday.
The women, who were apprehended after villagers tipped off cops, say they based their operation off Vietnam draws.
Twenty-six dollars in cash were confiscated along with a calculator, three sheets of ledger, five pens and a mobile phone.
The suspects were taken to police headquarters where they were charged for the illicit gambling.
