The official national lottery of Thailand (Thai:
Lottery tickets are purchased in ticket pairs and include a variety of anti-counterfeiting features. Unlike many other countries, single tickets are not sold. In addition, lottery tickets are pre-printed and must be sold in a specific format to prevent fraud. The front of the ticket is printed with the drawing schedule, a description of the prizes, and other ancillary information. The back of the ticket contains the prize payout schedule, a barcode for security purposes, and information about how to claim a winning prize.
There are also a number of different kinds of bets available, including the standard 6-digit winner-take-all prize. Match all six digits in the correct order and you’ll win the top prize of 30 million baht. Other prizes are awarded to those who match three, four, and five digits, and a final two-digit prize is offered.
The ubiquity of the lottery in Thailand is no doubt due to its role as a societal lubricant, and as a way to promote positive thinking by providing people with the hope that they will eventually win. Whether or not the chances of winning are realistic, it unites people in a shared dream and fuels the human spirit with the tantalizing possibility of life-altering fortune. The lottery experience also encourages a sense of community and social responsibility amongst players, who often purchase their tickets from street vendors and help their fellow citizens out. The image of a street vendor carting a box full of lottery tickets strapped to their bicycle is a familiar sight across the country. Typically, these sellers are poor, deaf or blind people, who use the income from selling tickets to support themselves. A hard way to make a living, but a noble profession.
