Torrens54 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Foreigners not allowed to claim a prize So, if a Thai were to buy a ticket in another... civilized country and the were to have the winning numbers but were refused the prize, I have a feeling someone at the UN would be shouting about Racism.

cougar52 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The real answer is, The Thai State LotteryAnybody can play and win the state lottery in Thailand, you don’t have to be Thai. The results of the lottery are announced on the 1st and 16th of every month and prizes must be claimed within two years of the draw and they are subject to 0.5% tax. f you a foreigner you can win and get paid, you are paid by a cheque. I hope this clears this up for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Normally for smaller prizes you can collect from the selling agent but their commission is much higher otherwise I believe can get payout at the Comptroller General's office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the UN would concern itself with lottery payments, but you're basing your rant on the incorrect statement that foreigners cannot win the lottery in Thailand. They can and do. So the UN won't have to call an extraordinary session to debate it. Interesting how uncivil some people who think they're from civilized countries can be.

Someone should realise that this is a 2nd hand news report, not a quote from the Government Lottery Office. There's no "con going on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the guest Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 What a stingy system. How many play this lottery for 80 baht (over 2 euros) per ticket. The revenue alone must run into hundreds of millions, and the first prize is a measly 3 million? In the UK, this week the lottery is for 19,000,000 UKP (821,000,000.00 THB) which is quite low, normally can be a lot higher if a roll-over, and a ticket for about the same price as Thailand. The population of the UK is about the same as Thailand, so you figure it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because lotteries don't occur all over the world do they? What a ridiculous comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
