概要 In the underground lottery game—an illegal albeit prevalent gambling activity in Vietnam—players bet on two- or three-digit numbers and win money if their numbers appear in the results of the official lotteries. The predominant Vietnamese perception of the game as a problem of the lower class reveals that the underclass is conceptualized as a group with several moral shortcomings that have led to its members’ underdevelopment. However, this study shows that the game is perceived by its players as a moral reward for their responsiveness to the spiritual world around them, and for their sensibility, experience and attentiveness to daily events and dreams.
