yesterday that the Development Lotteries Board does not pay any taxes to the

Lotteries Board dealers in the area are paying any taxes to the LTTE.
Responding to a question if the Board was giving special rebate to the
dealers selling the lottery in LTTE controlled area he said " No. We are not
doing that and our system does not permit it" The Development Lotteries
