[dave2]

i bought ten lottery tickets today as gifts for hotel

staff , bar girl friends etc tomorrow and paid 1000 baht to three thai ladies who didnt speak a word of english but had a lovely dog

when i got home and looked at them they look like two 40 baht tickets so whats the prize ?

also wheres the other twenty baht gone ?

excuse my ignorance but these are the first lottery tickets ive bought in my life !

just curious .. dave2

Each sheet has two tickets. Each ticket is worth 2 million baht so each sheet is worth 4 million baht if you get all the numbers. Yes farangs can win and collect. BTW you need at least the last two digits to win as a set 2000 baht.

2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps.

The other twenty baht is commission for the ticket sellers which is normal.

40 baht is the starting price for the ticket. The rest is for the ticket distributers and the sellers .The sellers get between 6 - 8 baht per ticket. They also have to pay for any unsold tickets they have, so if any unsold ticket wins they win the prize .

Also the closer to the day of the lottery the vendors may charge an additional commission, often related to the popularity of the numbers so you could pay up THB120 for the ticket, anyway I think that is correct and no doubt somebody will tell us if otherwise.

BTW, nice idea and good luck to the staff although pooling the tickets may prevent any jealousy of the big winner! (-:

Random people walking around with paper tickets. Seems like something that could easily be faked.

They seem to ask more for nice numbers, like ending on 888 or 1000 or 777 etc.

Sounds like a fare price to me. Good lucky

Behind each ticket you can check the prize money...good luck..

A mind altering experience.......dread to think what the 3rd prize is.

We won 20k on a 2 hundred bht investment. Don't complain to much now when the misses wants to play a few numbers from time to time. We are still way ahead.
