The Thai lottery is a national lottery run by the Government Lottery Office (GLO). It is drawn every month on the first and 16th of each month. Each ticket costs 80 baht. Tickets may be purchased online or at retail outlets. The GLO also provides a mobile app for players to buy tickets. The app is free and does not inflate the price of the ticket. The app also allows buyers to choose their numbers and renew their tickets automatically.
There are many ways to try and win the lottery, but the best way is to use common sense. Avoid playing with bad numbers, and look for a number that is unlucky for someone else. This method works because if the number is unlucky for someone, it will be lucky for you. It may sound silly, but it worked for a lady who won over Bh.6 billion in 2017 after her 1-year-old nephew told her to select the number 3.
If you want to go a step further, then try esiimsi or siam si (echiiymchii). This is a form of fortune telling that involves using bamboo sticks marked with numbers. The numbers are arranged in a circle. The fortune teller then reads the resulting pattern to determine your future. This fortune telling technique has been used in Thailand for over a hundred years. It is considered to be very accurate, and is often used by gamblers to improve their luck.
Another way to increase your chances of winning is to find out the winning numbers from previous draws. This is especially important if you are trying to beat the jackpot. In addition, you can always check the results from the official website. There are also many other websites that offer a wealth of information about the Thai lottery.
You should also avoid paying more than the maximum price for a ticket. This is because some vendors are selling tickets for more than the official price. This is because they have an incentive to sell tickets with certain numbers, such as the coveted 1 and 9. The best way to avoid being duped by these vendors is to use a trusted online lottery site that offers legitimate ticket sales at the official price.
If you are a new player, you should be aware of the fact that you can only cash out your prize money two years after the draw took place. Smaller amounts can be cashed out at authorized retail venues, while larger prizes must be claimed at the GLO office in Nonthaburi.
There are two types of Thai lottery tickets: TGL and TCL. The difference between the two is the first prize payout and the amount of tax to be paid on winnings. TGL tickets have a first prize of six million baht and a bonus prize of 30 million baht. TCL tickets have a first prize of three million baht and a bonus prize that is capped at 1%.
