This afternoon (October 8), the People's Committee of Bac Lieu province held a regular press conference to provide information. At the meeting, a reporter asked: 'In the context of many lottery companies in the West organizing delegations to "study experiences" abroad, causing social outrage. Do lottery companies in the area organize such delegations? If so, how will the province direct and handle the situation?'.
