The National Lottery (Thai: hwyaithy Lotto – Slaak Kinaebngrathbaal) is the official national lottery of Thailand. It is regulated by the Government Lottery Office and draws on the first and sixteenth of every month. It is one of two forms of legalized gambling in the country. The other is horse racing.

To win the jackpot prize, you need to match all six digits in the correct order. If you miss the last digit, you can still win a smaller prize, which is equal to your ticket number’s first three digits. There used to be a second prize for getting the first three and the last digit, but this was eliminated by GLO after January 2016.

You can buy your tickets at participating vendors or online. The cost of a ticket is 100 baht. The National Lottery’s website also displays the results after each draw, including a detailed breakdown of the winning numbers.

Most governments outlaw the sale of lottery tickets to minors and require vendors to be licensed. Some also regulate the type of lottery game available, such as by requiring the number of digits in a number. Some even prohibit a particular type of lottery game altogether.

Lottery games have a long history. They began in the Low Countries in the 15th century, when towns raised money for town fortifications and to assist the poor by holding public lotteries. Some lotteries are run by state governments, while others are privately organized.

Many Thais are superstitious folk, and there is a belief that certain numbers are lucky or unlucky. They also believe that observing animals’ behaviours is another good way to predict the winning numbers. For instance, if you see a tortoise walking around in an odd place, that’s believed to be a sign of good luck!

The odds of winning the prize are quite slim. In fact, it is only 1 in 1,000,000. This is why most people think that the price of a ticket isn’t worth it. However, if the entertainment value of playing is high enough for an individual, then they may find it rational to purchase a ticket. This is because the disutility of a monetary loss can be outweighed by the combined expected utility of monetary and non-monetary gains.
