The Government Lottery Office (GLO) typically holds the eagerly anticipated Thai lottery draw every 1st and 16th of the month. So, if you’re wondering why you’re seeing the Thai lottery results today – 17 January 2026 – instead of the usual 16th, you’re not alone. This guide walks you through the full list of winning numbers, explains the reason for the date change, and includes helpful links and tips for lottery participants and winners.
This year, the regular lottery draw scheduled for 16 January 2026 was moved to 17 January due to National Teachers’ Day (Wan Kru), a public observance and a respected holiday in Thailand. When key national holidays fall on or overlap with a lottery draw date, the GLO occasionally reschedules the drawing out of respect for traditions, government policies, and logistics.
This is not a rare occurrence. In the past, draws have also been postponed when essential public holidays such as Makha Bucha, Constitution Day, or even Songkran coincide with the lottery calendar. So, don’t worry – your tickets are still valid, and you haven’t missed your lucky chance!
This is your space for the latest results:
As soon as the official results are announced by the GLO, we’ll update this section with every winning combination and exact prize breakdowns. Bookmark this page or set a reminder to check back as soon as the results go live!

Congratulations if your numbers match! Remember, you will need to present your physical lottery ticket (undamaged and unaltered) to claim your prize. Prize claims are subject to a small withholding tax, and all significant prizes must be claimed in person at the GLO office in Bangkok. For large wins, consider security and financial advice before making your claim.
The Thai government lottery is the only legal way to try your luck in the country, and its unique prize structure has made it a monthly ritual for millions.
