Thai lotto is Thailand’s official national lottery, managed by the Government Lottery Office (GLO). Drawings take place every first and sixteenth day of each month at GLO, making this popular form of gambling safe, fun, and with some exciting prizes that await winning tickets!
Players looking to win big in Thai lotto must match their ticket numbers with those drawn during a draw, with prize money determined by how many correct matches have occurred; usually several million baht are up for grabs while smaller prizes may also be awarded if less numbers were matched correctly. Prize winners can collect their reward from retailers who sold them the winning ticket.
Each lottery ticket costs 80 baht and features two parts; the top part contains lottery numbers while the bottom part can be used to collect any prizes won. Tickets are widely available from retailers like convenience stores, gas stations and banks – while online options offer another possibility for those living in rural areas. Before buying one however, it’s wise to consult the results of previous lotteries first!
The official Thai Lotto website features an exhaustive list of numbers available to play, as well as those which have never won before. There is also access to GLO’s rules and regulations and an FAQ page, making this an invaluable resource for anyone seeking more insight into Thai lotteries and how they work.
Thai lotto comes in two forms, the Thai government lottery and charity lotteries. Both offer maximum payouts of three million baht and pay taxes on winnings; however, only the former provides higher top prizes and better odds of success; additionally it features an easier-to-use app and more flexible payment options.
For Thai Lotto play, it is necessary to be 18 or over with a valid passport, pay 1% tax on winnings, visit GLO lottery shops to purchase tickets, and watch as the results are announced on a screen in real-time.
Thailand has long had a rich tradition of lottery play known as Salak kin baeng. Players use colored balls that represent different prizes; the Draw Chairman selects one at random from among these balls to determine the order of lesser prizes; yellow is given for second prize, pink third prize, green fourth prize and blue fifth prize; bonus prizes can be won when all six winning numbers come up during first prize draws in any two week period; this provides everyone who purchased lottery tickets recently an opportunity to be lucky and take home something extra!
