Police also retrieved a list of bettors, a cell phone, Rp 4 million (about US$333) in cash and Rp 240,000 in cash from the sale of the lottery tickets.
'The suspect, identified as MS, is a teacher at an elementary school. He was apprehended and immediately admitted responsibility for his actions,' said Tebo Police crime and intelligence unit chief Adj. Comr. Ridwan Hutagaol on Monday.
