About STL
The Small Town Lottery (STL) was launched by PCSO in 2006 as a legal alternative to illegal gambling like jueteng, and as a way to raise funds for local charities. Money from STL sales is shared directly with local governments, police, and PCSO to support health and development projects. It also provides jobs for thousands of people, especially those affected by the anti-jueteng drive. STL started in select areas and is still being reviewed to make sure it is transparent and fair, with new agency applications on hold until the review is done.
