Thai Lottery Guides

Plain-language guides to how the Thai Government Lottery works, how prizes are claimed, and how to read the statistics responsibly. Everything here is educational — never a prediction of results.

How the lottery works

Draws take place twice a month, on the 1st and the 16th at around 4:00 PM Bangkok time. Prizes range from the first prize (฿6,000,000 per ticket) down to the last-two digits (฿2,000). Browse every draw in our results archive.

Checking & claiming prizes

Small prizes can be paid by authorised vendors, while large prizes are claimed at the Government Lottery Office with photo ID and the original ticket. Check your number first with our Did I Win? checker, then confirm with the GLO.

Understanding the numbers

Frequency statistics — “hot” and “cold” numbers — are interesting but cannot predict results, because every draw is independent and random. Explore our statistics and number search.

Playing responsibly

The lottery is entertainment, not an investment. Play within your means and always set a limit. If it ever becomes a problem, support is available — read our Responsible Play guidance.
