Here are the official numbers for the 1 December 2025 draw of the Government Lottery Office (GLO):
The Thai lottery is administered by the Government Lottery Office. Draws take place twice a month — on the 1st and the 16th — making it a regular event people watch or buy tickets for. Tickets are sold in pairs, meaning each purchase has two identical tickets; when one wins, you get the full prize, effectively doubling your payout if you hold a pair.
The face value per ticket pair is officially 80 ฿, though in practice many street vendors charge more depending on demand or perceived “lucky numbers.” The lottery includes multiple prize tiers: first prize, adjacent-to-first, second through fifth prizes, 3-digit prizes (front/back), and a 2-digit prize. Smaller prizes are common but the top jackpot remains rare.
If you win a small prize — like a 3-digit or 2-digit prize — you can usually claim the winnings directly from the authorised vendor where you bought the ticket. For larger wins (over 20,000 ฿) you must visit the GLO headquarters or a regional office with your original ticket and your ID or passport for verification.
All lottery claims must be made within two years of the draw date. Keep your ticket safe — once lost, it cannot be claimed.
Can foreigners play? — Yes. Anyone in Thailand can buy tickets and claim prizes. Foreign winners should have their passport ready when claiming.
Why are tickets sold in pairs? — That’s the official GLO format. Each purchaser is given two identical tickets so winning payouts correspond to the pair, not a single ticket.
Is the jackpot easy to win? — No. The odds of hitting the first prize are extremely low. Winning often means relying on luck plus many ticket purchases.
Where can I check results? — Results are published on the GLO website, major Thai news portals and lottery-result sites immediately after each draw. Always check official sources to avoid scams.
The next scheduled draw is on 16 December 2025. For many, it’s the last big chance of the year for a jackpot win, before people start buying tickets based on New Year hopes and “lucky numbers.” If you didn’t win this time, maybe luck will favour you then. Want to join? Start watching for ticket sales 1–2 weeks before the draw. Pick your number, maybe run some lucky-number rituals, and keep your ticket safe — you might be the next big winner.
Even with the long odds, the Thai lottery isn’t just about hitting the jackpot. For many, it’s a ritual — a mix of hope, tradition, social sharing, and a bit of harmless fun. Buying a ticket, checking the draw with family or friends, celebrating small wins — it builds anticipation and community. Especially in December, when the year’s ending, many see the draw as a final chance to dream big before the new year.
Whether you’re chasing a 6-million-baht jackpot or just hoping for a small prize, playing the Thai lottery stays part of Thai everyday life. Good luck for 16 December — and may your number bring luck.
