How to Buy a Thailand Lottery Ticket
Getting a Thailand lottery ticket seems easy, but if you don't know the right method, you could end up with a counterfeit ticket or end up paying a higher price. Therefore, it's important to have complete information before purchasing a ticket.
What is a Ticket and Where Can I Get It?
A Thailand lottery ticket is a special paper ticket with the number of six Digits written on it. Each ticket has a GLO symbol, a watermark, and a QR code.
You can find these tickets everywhere in Thailand on the streets, in markets, at bus stands, and at authorized vendors. The State Police has licensed thousands of vendors who sell these tickets. You should not buy these tickets from any ordinary shop, but from those selling them wearing government coats or who have a State Police card.
What is the ticket price?
The official price is 80 Baht, which is written on the ticket. However, these tickets are actually sold in the market for 100 to 120 Baht. Sometimes, when a number becomes more popular, its price may increase even more.
So, try to buy a ticket between 80 and 100 Baht. If someone is asking you for more than 150 baht, they are selling it at a higher price.
How to identify a genuine and fake ticket?
This is the most important thing. You will not get a prize with a fake ticket.
- 1. Look for the water mark: If you hold a genuine ticket up to the light, you will see the GLO watermark.
- 2. Scan the QR code: Every genuine ticket has a QR code. You can check whether the ticket is genuine or not by scanning it with the GLO Lottery Official App.
- 3. Paper quality: The paper of genuine tickets is slightly thicker and shinier. The paper of a fake ticket is thin and light.
- 4. The number should be clear: The number on the ticket should be clearly written, without any signs of erasing or scratching.
How to buy a digital ticket from your mobile?
GLO has now launched a digital lottery, which is sold through the Pootang App. This is the safest method. The Paotang is an app from Thailand's Krungthai Bank. You can get a ticket for just 80 baht, without paying extra.
You can search for your favorite number on the app and buy it. The money is deducted from your bank account, and the ticket is saved in your app. The advantage of this is that there's no fear of losing the ticket.
Officially, Thailand lottery tickets are only sold within Thailand. There's no way to purchase an official online ticket from abroad. If someone tells you on Facebook or WhatsApp that they'll send you a ticket to Thailand and ask you to send them the money, it's often a scam.
Therefore, if you live abroad, you can ask a trusted friend or family member who lives in Thailand to get you a ticket. But don't send advance money to an unknown person.
What should you keep in mind when buying a ticket?
- Always buy a ticket 3-4 days before the draw, as the good numbers run out on the last day.
- Don't chase a single number; buy tickets with 2-3 different numbers.
- After buying the ticket, save a picture of it on your mobile and lightly write your name on it.
- Keep your ticket out of the sun or water; a damaged ticket will not be rewarded.
Common Mistakes
- Buying an overly expensive ticket.
- Buying a ticket without checking the QR code.
- Keeping the ticket folded in your pocket so it can be lost.
- Sending money to an unknown online seller.
Always keep your ticket in a safe place and check it carefully on result day.
How to Win a Thailand Lottery Prize
People often win, but they don't know how to claim their money. This is why many people waste their prizes or fall prey to fraudulent agents. GLO runs Thailand's government-run lottery, and GLO clearly outlines the process for claiming your prize. Whether you win a small prize or a large one, the method is different.
How long does it take to claim the money?
This is the first question. You can claim your prize from the day of the draw for the next two years. After two years, your ticket expires and you no longer receive any money. Therefore, it's best to check your ticket as soon as the results are out; delaying can be detrimental.
What if the prize is small?
When your winning amount is less than 20,000, it's called a small prize. It's very easy to claim. you can go to the same shop where you purchased your ticket and collect your money in cash. In addition, three other government banks in Thailand, Krungthai Bank, Government Savings Bank, and BAAC Bank, also offer this facility.
You can visit any branch of these banks and show your ticket to receive up to 20,000 rupees. This new system was created to prevent people from having to go far.
Where do you go if the reward is big?
When the amount exceeds 20,000 rupees, such as the first prize, the second prize, or 3 or 12 prizes, you will receive this money from GLO's head office.
GLO's head office is in Nonthaburi. There is a prize section on the ground floor. You have to go there and fill out a small form, which contains your name and ticket information. A police officer then checks your ticket to see if it's genuine.
The long queues are now over. You can also get a token from home using the GLO website or their mobile app, using a QR code. This will save you time.
What do you need to bring with you?
When going to the office, it's essential to bring three things with you.
- 1. Genuine Ticket: The ticket must be of absolutely clear origin. If there are any erasure marks, cuts, or water stains on it, the ticket may be considered spoiled.
- 2. Passport or ID: Bring your ID card if you are a Thai citizen, and your passport if you are from abroad.
- 3. Age: The person receiving the money must be at least 20 years old. Prizes under 20 are not awarded.
How much tax is charged?
Lottery money in Thailand is taxed slightly. Small prizes typically incur a half percent stamp duty, while larger prizes are taxed up to 5 percent. After deducting this tax, the remaining amount is given to you through cheque or bank transfer.
Thailand Lottery Result Old Charts
Charts are a history of past results. Many players use old charts to make predictions. Charts tell you what numbers came up in the last few draws. But remember, charts are for informational purposes only; they don't guarantee the next number 100% of the time. Every draw is random.
Thai 3D Lottery Result Today Live
3D result is actually another name for 3up. It consists of 3 Digit numbers, such as 452 or 891. During the live draw, only 3up numbers are announced first. Therefore, if you want to see the 3D result, you'll need to check the 3up result.
Why do people view charts of previous results?
The purpose of viewing charts is to get an idea of the previous numbers. But remember, the chart is for informational purposes only. The next draw is always random. The old chart does not guarantee the next number. This can vary for each draw.
VIP Tips and the Truth About Sure Numbers
People think VIP means a 100% confirmed number. In reality, this is not the case. No paper, no formula can give you a confirmed number. These papers, like Total Paper and Touch Game, are made based on past calculations. You can look at them for an idea, but don't rely on them completely to buy a ticket.
You need to understand one thing here. No number in the Thailand lottery is 100% certain. Any paper or formula that gives you a 100% guarantee is wrong. VIP Tips and papers are for refreshers only. They use old numbers to estimate certain numbers. So, never waste your ticket on a sure number.
What is a paper?
Papers are released two days before the draw. They contain some numbers. People select their numbers by looking at them. If you want to look at a paper, don't stop at just one paper and always make your final decision based on the official results. Papers usually arrive 2-3 days before the draw. These include names like Total Paper, Touch Game, and 3Up Direct Paper.
To understand the paper:
- Take the numbers on the paper as a rough idea.
- Don't rely solely on a single paper.
For those living abroad (Time Difference Guide):
There's a time difference for friends living there. When Thailand's results are announced, it's 10:00 AM in Saudi Arabia. So, you can check your results in the morning. Friends in Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE also see their results at this time.
