To prevent counterfeiting, the tickets are printed on special yellow paper with a watermark of a mythical bird called a wayupak and feature a two-tone security strip that is visible only under ultraviolet light. Moreover, the paper is coated with chemicals that prevent it from showing stains when soaked in water or bleach. Additionally, the paper is scented with a mild fragrance.
In addition to the monetary prize, winners will be required to present their ticket and a copy of their identification card or passport (for foreign bettors). They must also fill out a claim form. Lastly, they must pay 0.5% stamp duty on winnings from the government lottery and 1% for charitable lottery winnings.
The winning numbers are drawn by a computerized system. During the draw, each machine produces a random combination of six-digit numbers and an additional two-digit number that is matched to the last two digits of your ticket. The machine then records the result and announces it over a loudspeaker.
The prize money is based on the total number of tickets sold, which includes those for charity lotteries. In addition, the treasury receives 20% of the total revenue from the sale of tickets, while street vendors get 12% and ticket wholesalers and social activities fund get 3% each. The remaining 20% is distributed among the prize money, administrative costs, and sales taxes. In Thailand, lottery tickets can be purchased at all major supermarkets and convenience stores. However, it is illegal to sell lottery tickets in public places.
