Thai Lottery Prize Tiers Explained
The Thai Government Lottery has more prize tiers than many people realise — nine in total, from the ฿6,000,000 first prize down to a ฿2,000 two-digit match. This guide explains exactly what each tier pays, how many winning numbers there are, and how the “pair” system doubles a win.
The full prize table
All amounts are per single ticket. Tickets are sold in pairs, so if you hold both tickets of a winning pair you receive twice the figure shown.
- First prize — ฿6,000,000. One six-digit number. Matching all six digits in order wins the top prize.
- Adjacent to the first prize — ฿100,000 each. The two numbers immediately above and below the first-prize number (i.e. first prize ±1). Two winning numbers in total.
- Second prize — ฿200,000. Five separate six-digit numbers.
- Third prize — ฿80,000. Ten numbers.
- Fourth prize — ฿40,000. Fifty numbers.
- Fifth prize — ฿20,000. One hundred numbers.
- Front three digits — ฿4,000. Two three-digit numbers; you win if the first three digits of your ticket match either one.
- Last three digits — ฿4,000. Two three-digit numbers; you win if the last three digits of your ticket match either one.
- Last two digits — ฿2,000. One two-digit number; you win if the last two digits of your ticket match it. This is the most commonly won prize.
How the six-digit prizes work
The first prize, the adjacent numbers and the second-to-fifth prizes are all matched against your full six-digit number. There is only one first-prize number per draw, but there are 5, 10, 50 and 100 numbers for the second through fifth prizes respectively, so those are the realistic “big” wins for most full-number holders.
How the digit prizes work
The front-three, last-three and last-two prizes only look at part of your number, which is why they are far easier to win:
- The front three looks at the first three digits of your ticket.
- The last three looks at the final three digits.
- The last two looks at the final two digits.
Because two numbers are drawn for each three-digit prize, and one for the two-digit prize, these tiers produce many more winners than the six-digit prizes.
The front-three prize is newer
If you look at older results you will notice there is no front-three figure before 1 September 2015 — that prize was introduced on that date, replacing an earlier “first-three” arrangement. Our results archive reflects this: draws before September 2015 show last-three and last-two prizes but no front-three.
The pair system
Every ticket is part of a pair with an identical number. Vendors often split pairs and sell single tickets, so check whether you are holding one ticket or two. If you hold the full pair and the number wins, every prize amount above is doubled — a paired first prize, for example, pays ฿12,000,000.
Check your number
To see which tier (if any) a number has matched, enter it in our Did I Win? checker or look up its history in the number search. As always, confirm any win with the official Government Lottery Office before celebrating — and remember that past results never predict future ones.
