How the Thai Government Lottery Works

The Thai Government Lottery, known locally as “Salak Kin Baeng”, is one of the only legal forms of gambling in Thailand. Draws happen twice monthly—on the 1st and 16th—turning the country into a lively arena of dreams and local superstitions. Over 38 million tickets are printed for each round, and tickets are only sold face-to-face by licensed vendors.

Types of Prizes You Can Win

• First Prize (Jackpot): 6,000,000 THB per 6-digit winning ticket
• Second Prize: 200,000 THB (5 awarded per draw)
• Third Prize: 80,000 THB (10 awarded)
• Fourth Prize: 40,000 THB (50 awarded)
• Fifth Prize: 20,000 THB (100 awarded)
• Three-Digit and Two-Digit Prizes: Multiple smaller prizes for close matches
• Neighbor Prizes: If your ticket number is one higher or lower than the jackpot (e.g., 342184 or 342186), you get a consolation prize

What Are the Odds?

The odds of winning the top prize (first prize) are about 1 in a million for each ticket. However, there are thousands of lower-tier and runner-up prizes in every draw, so a surprising number of hopefuls walk away with something—whether a 2-digit or 3-digit match, or even a neighbor prize.

Responsible Play Is Always In Style
