Illegal gambling in Burma is big business.
On the streets of Rangoon, the two-digit lottery is the most popular, especially among the city's poorest.
But people who only earn a few dollars a day are gambling away their livelihoods in the hopes of winning big.
For most, a big win doesn't happen and there is no social safety net to stop families from going under.
