เลข 7 เซียน is drawn twice a month and is one of only two forms of legalised gambling in the country. The official lottery is administered by the Government Lottery Office. The draw takes place at random, and is open to anyone from any country to participate. This lottery is one of the safest and most popular forms of gambling in Thailand.
The lottery’s draw is televised on national television and radio. It was also simulcast on Tahirih television in 2016. Winning numbers are announced shortly before 16:00, and winning tickets are reported on the official lottery website. Winners must claim their prizes within two years after the draw date.
A Thai lottery ticket is printed on special paper. This paper bears the official government’s two-tone watermark and is protected by a chemical barrier. In addition, a two-tone silk thread distinguishes the lottery ticket from others. One silk thread is visible with the naked eye, while the other is only visible with ultraviolet light. As a result, the paper will become stained if bleached.
The Thailand Lottery has two draws a month. One is held on the first day of each month, and the other is held on the 16th. As the draw date approaches, it’s important to check the results as soon as possible. This is because sometimes, Thailand lottery results may not be released for several days.
A ticket can be purchased for as little as five baht and can have a prize amount of up to six million baht. The Thai Government Lottery (TGL) has the largest jackpot of three million baht, and the Thai Charity Lottery (TCL) has the second highest payout of two million baht.
The Thai lottery is one of the only legal gambling activities in Thailand. It uses both paper-based and electronic systems. Tickets are available from retailers and agents. If you win a prize, you must claim it within two years of the draw date. In addition, you must claim your prize at the Government Lottery Office.
