Simply pop your ticket number into the tool above, and you’ll instantly know if you’ve hit payday in the 16 February 2026 Thai Government Lottery draw!
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.
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. For more details about Thai lottery odds and culture, read our guide on how to play the Thai lottery as a foreigner.

Lottery luck didn’t smile on you this round? Not to worry—the game is drawn every two weeks. The next chance for fortune comes on 1 March 2026. Mark your calendar, and scan tickets early to spot counterfeit or misprinted numbers. Want more Thai luck wisdom?

The lottery is great fun in moderation—but always set a personal budget and avoid chasing losses. Tickets are about hope, community, and sometimes that little thrill—not a reliable income source. If you hit the jackpot, take care to manage newfound money wisely!
