Acting Police Commissioner Auapa'au Logoitino Filipo has told the Samoa Observer the authority sold tickets to its Sportslotto last week and ran a streamed draw on Saturday evening after they were warned not to.
He said police warned the Gambling Control Authority not to run the draw after police discovered tickets were being sold during the week.
