Thai lotto hanoi lottery
The lottery is one of only two forms of legal gambling in Thailand. It’s a bi-monthly draw that is held by The Government Lottery Office (GLO) and is the country’s most popular form of gambling, played by over 19 million people; about 28.6% of the country’s population. The lottery offers a number of prizes, ranging from small cash to vehicles and property. It also encourages a sense of community, as the promise of sudden wealth unites participants in a shared dream and fuels consumer spending.
Whether you’re buying a ticket online or in person, you’ll want to choose your numbers wisely. Many winners claim to use a variety of strategies to pick their numbers. Some have interpreted their dreams, while others swear by praying to banana trees and watching for animal sightings in the buildup to a draw. Others have used a fortune telling machine or bamboo sticks to determine their lucky numbers, or asked friends and family members for advice.
In the past, GLO offered a bonus prize for matching six digits in the first prize draw. However, this prize was eliminated by the military government in August 2015.
The lottery is pre-printed and includes a number of anti-counterfeiting features. Tickets are sold in pairs and include the schedule of prizes, supplementary information, and terms and conditions. The tickets can be purchased in either Thai or English. Foreigners are allowed to purchase the lottery in Thailand, but only if they are legally in the country at the time of purchase. Purchasing a ticket from outside of the country is illegal, and violators can be fined or imprisoned. Moreover, the winnings from the lottery are taxed at 28%.
