Besides horse racing and betting, Thailand’s official lottery is one of the only legal forms of gambling in the country. Despite government prohibition on gambling, 70 percent of Thais still play this form of gambling, as long as they can afford the tickets.
The first Thai lottery was held on King Chulalongkorn’s birthday in 1874. Later on, the lottery was used as a way to raise funds for the country. In the 1940s, the lottery reached its peak. The top prize was worth 22 million baht or 30 million baht, depending on the time of year.
The lottery has two draws each month. เลขนกตาทิพย์ is on the first and the second on the 16th. Tickets are sold by agents and retailers. The ticket costs between one hundred baht and two hundred baht. The second prize is a million baht, while the third prize is 40,000 baht.
The government lottery office (GLO) administers the lottery, which is regulated by the national lottery law. Besides the lottery itself, GLO also oversees the allocation of money to charities.
Tickets are sold by a network of 14,700 retail outlets. Tickets are priced from two to five lots for every 100 baht. Aside from ticket sellers, unofficial lottery agencies are also present in Thailand, as well as abroad. These agencies provide a convenient method of ordering tickets online, with credit purchases also available.
In order to claim a lottery prize, you must first present a winning ticket and a Thai ID card. After หวยนกตาทิพย์ , you must fill out a claim form and pay the necessary tax.
