flipper2222222 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 can anyone on this forum give me a Lotto 101 summary? I've asked my wife but after telling me the last 3 numbers are important she was scant on any other details. Where to buy? how do you win? What are the prizes? Can Foreigners buy tickets and claim prizes? How often are draws? How do know the tickets you are buying are legit? what is the cost of the tickets? Where do the proceeds of sales go to? Seller, charity? all to the gov? I am I missing anything else on this topic? looking forward to your answers. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Do a google search "wiki Thai lottery". It will answer most of your questions. Edited August 19, 2017 by allane x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeab1980 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) 1. Any outlets or Street sellers 2.by matching all or some of the numbers on your ticket on the day of that draw. 3. 3 mill per ticket so if you bought one you would win 6 mill as they are bought as two top prize then down for 3/2 numbers ect. 4.yes. 5. 2 x a month usualy 1st and 16th. 6. most are but never buy from a seller comming into bars (only passing on what i was told) 7. Officially 80bht per two tckets (they are same numbered ticket . But can be up to 100bht for so called lucky tickets! 8.no idea 9.like what? I buy from tesco lotus vendor usualy buy two tickets all same numbers so if and WHEN i win i will get 12 mill Pic of one ticket. Then of course you have the unofficial one which i wont go into.

gummy Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 New lottery tickets from Sept. 1st will be a single ticket only. no confirmation found from official source yet that it means 1st prize will be 6 million ( rather than 3 million x 2 tickets as now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGS1244 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 For small wins you take the ticket to a given vendor, may not be the one you bought the ticket from, and they give you cash after deducting the tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its being done to stop counterfeiting of tickets and to save money on printing tickets apparently.

Years ago you used to be able to go to any bank and cash in your rtickets, but I don't think that is allowed anymore, there are also vendors in Klong Toi waterfront that will cash in your tickets for a charge............

MadMuhammad Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 In regards to where the money goes the vendors don't get all that much. And the cost to them actually changes quite a lot. Depending on the previous period ie: huge jackpot, and predicted sales due to those different market forces the vendor can pay anywhere from 74thb+ per ticket. It's purely a volume business model. Add in travel costs and selling costs there's super slim margins. Furthermore the vendors pre-buy the tickets so if they don't sell their entire allocation they wear the costs of the unsold tickets.

My wife went up to them and asked why and got an extremely rude response. As they were always extremely large vendors of tickets, so she now thinks that perhaps they are peddling forgeries to the unwary. So be careful. Today we are going past to see if the old double tickets are removed or not from sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the tickets are still printed the same way with double image but whereas before the ticket was able to be separated now this can't be done.

Jeffrey346 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I won 2000 on the last draw and 20000 a couple of months ago. I use this app to check the numbers. It's in Thai but I'm only checking numbers. If you have a winning ticket, it displays the amount won. The app also reminds you 20 minutes before the drawing starts. I know someone said foreigners can collect winning. yes the vendors will pay you the small wins butI was told quite some time ago that the lottery office will not pay large wins. Not sure this is still the case.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sanook.lottothai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
