The Thai lottery (Thai:
While most people play the lottery for the thrill of winning, it is also a popular form of entertainment, a revenue generator for organizers, and a potential economic stimulus for local economies. Winners can inject their windfall back into the economy, and even the anticipation of winning can shift consumer behavior, as players imagine how they will spend their jackpot.
Lottery Online is an easy-to-use application that allows you to play the Thai lottery anytime, anywhere, on your iPhone or iPad. The app is free to download, supports both Thai and English, and works on all versions of iOS 9.
Players choose numbers in a random draw using the app’s interactive touchscreen. The app will display the results in real time as the drawing takes place. The number of winning combinations is displayed on the screen and the winning digits are highlighted in green. The app will also display the current jackpot amount, the odds of winning, and how many tickets have been sold.
Each ticket costs 80 baht and is sold in pairs. The tickets are pre-printed, include a variety of anti-counterfeiting features, and are printed with the title TGL or TCL, which indicates whether the tickets are for the Thai Government Lottery or the Thai Charity Lottery respectively. The tickets have two different jackpot prizes: TGL tickets pay a maximum of B6 million and a bonus prize of B30 million, while TCL tickets offer up to a maximum of B3 million with a bonus prize of up to B22 million.
Besides the jackpot, winners can win prizes for matching six digits, five digits in a row, or four digits in a row. Previously, GLO also offered a jackpot prize for getting the last two digits, which could bring in B1,000 if correctly matched. However, this prize has been eliminated since the military government took over the country. GLO has not clarified why the prize was eliminated. Currently, the total jackpot is B6 billion. GLO has also introduced a third prize of up to B40,000 for players who match three digits in a row. In addition to these new prizes, GLO has reduced the tax on winnings to 1% for TGL and TCL.
