In Thailand, the lottery is one of only two forms of legalized gambling allowed. It is managed by the Government Lottery Office (GLO) and draws are held every first and sixteenth of each month. The GLO also prints and sells the tickets to wholesalers who distribute them across the country.
The official price of a ticket is 80 baht. However, street vendors will sell them for 100 baht or more, especially for sets of numbers that are considered lucky. This practice has been criticized by the government for driving up prices for government tickets. In a bid to curb this issue, the GLO has launched an online sales channel for its lottery tickets. The official website will allow users to purchase their tickets at the official rate and avoid paying higher street prices.

The thai lotto hanoi Lottery is the national lottery of Thailand, operated by the Government Lottery Office (GLO). It is played by more than 19.2 million people in the country and they spent over 76 billion baht on buying tickets annually. It is one of the most popular games in Asia and it has a large following among expatriates living in Thailand. It is also a source of revenue for the government and it helps improve the lives of many citizens.
Besides being fun, the Thai lotto is very rewarding for those who win. In addition to the grand prize of up to 10 million baht, there are also smaller prizes of up to 100,000 baht. To win a prize, players must match all six of the winning numbers. Those who do so will receive a second prize, while those who match the first three digits will win the third prize. There used to be fourth and fifth prizes as well, but these were discontinued after the military government took power.
Those who win must claim their prize within two years from the drawing date. Smaller prizes can be cashed out immediately at authorized retail venues, while those who have won a larger sum must visit the head GLO office in Nonthaburi to claim their award. The government will then issue a cheque to the winner.
