Thai Lottery 2 January 2026: Your Result Hub and Why the Draw Isn’t on Jan 1

Welcome to your Thai Lottery result hub for the first draw of the year. This page is a live-ready placeholder for the Government Lottery Office (GLO) draw on Friday, 2 January 2026. We’ll post the winners and full prize breakdown here as soon as the draw is verified by official sources. Bookmark this page and check back after the afternoon draw for the latest numbers, prize tiers, and what to do if you win.

In the meantime, here’s exactly why this draw is on the 2nd instead of the 1st, how the Thai Lottery works, what time to expect updates, and how to double-check your ticket safely and officially.

Why is the Thai Lottery draw on 2 January, not 1 January?

The Thai Lottery is usually drawn on the 1st and 16th of each month. However, when a draw date falls on a public holiday or an official non-working day, the GLO typically moves it to the next working day. 1 January is New Year’s Day in Thailand, which is a nationwide public holiday, so the draw is shifted to Friday, 2 January 2026.

If you’re planning your month, it’s useful to keep an eye on national holidays. For a clear overview of what’s coming up in the new year, see our guide to Thai Public Holidays 2026. It also helps explain why some lottery dates may be adjusted throughout the year.

Live update notice: We will label updates as “Updated” with a timestamp so you know when new information is posted.

How to check your Thai Lottery numbers safely

When the draw is done, you can verify your numbers in a few ways. We recommend cross-checking at least twice, especially for larger wins.

• Use the official GLO verification channels: The Government Lottery Office provides official verification tools, including on-air draws and digital checking. Always trust the official result before making any claims.
• Scan the QR code if your ticket has one: Many tickets include a QR code that links to official validation. This reduces reading errors and helps you avoid scams.
• Compare with reputable result roundups: After the draw, we’ll post the latest numbers here, and you can also compare them with prior months, such as Thai Lottery Results 16 December 2025 and Thai Lottery Results 1 December 2025.

If you’re newer to the Thai Lottery, our step-by-step overview in the Thai Lottery Results 16 November 2025 post also shows how we present results and explain prize tiers.

What time are Thai Lottery results usually available?

The draw generally happens in the afternoon in Thailand, with official confirmation following shortly after. While many media outlets publish numbers quickly, the most reliable updates are those that directly reference the GLO’s official announcements. We only post results here once they are verified, which is why you might see a short delay between the televised draw and our published list.

How the Thai Lottery works, in brief

Thailand’s Government Lottery is highly structured, with multiple prize tiers that cover a range of outcomes. While exact prize values, counts, and categories are issued by the GLO, most draws include:

• First Prize — The main 6-digit jackpot
• Second and other main tier prizes — Several additional tiers with predetermined payouts
• 3-digit categories — Often split into different types for selected 3-digit combinations
• 2-digit category — A popular prize tier for the last two digits
• Adjacent (nearby) numbers — Prize categories for numbers adjacent to the First Prize

Tickets can be issued in pairs and, depending on whether you purchased paper or digital tickets, redemption instructions may slightly differ. Prize payments are subject to the GLO’s official terms and applicable deductions, and winners will need to follow the published redemption process.

For a broader explainer on rules, prize tiers, and how to read your ticket, see our primer: Thai Lottery Guide and Results, 16 November 2025. It provides useful context, especially if you are new to Thailand’s lottery system.

Prize claiming basics: what to do if you win

If your number hits, congratulations. Here are general guidelines to get you started. Always confirm the latest requirements with the GLO before heading out.

• Keep your original ticket safe and intact: Do not laminate, alter, or write over key areas. Sign the back discreetly to help prove ownership.
• Verify officially: Before making any claim, confirm your win using official GLO tools or authorized counters.
• Bring valid ID: You will need identification when claiming, and the name must match your signature if you signed the ticket.
• Understand deductions: The GLO applies official fees or withholding as specified by law. Check the current rates on the day you claim.
• Use official claim channels only: Avoid third parties who offer to “process” winnings for you. Go through the GLO or authorized partners.

Depending on the prize size, claims may be made at designated GLO locations, banks, or authorized points. For timing, refer to the latest information published by the GLO, and avoid delays whenever possible.

Common mistakes to avoid when checking results

• Misreading digits: Double-check the entire 6-digit number, plus any relevant 3-digit and 2-digit categories.
• Relying on screenshots: Always confirm with an official source before discarding or celebrating.
• Ignoring adjacent number prizes: Some prizes apply to numbers immediately above or below the First Prize number.
• Forgetting ticket pairs or duplicates: If you purchased multiple tickets with the same number, winnings may multiply accordingly.

Why the New Year shuffle makes sense in Thailand

New Year’s Day is one of the biggest holidays in the Thai calendar, with travel, family gatherings, and cultural observances nationwide. It’s perfectly normal for essential services to operate on limited schedules or to postpone certain activities to respect the holiday. This is also why some government processes and businesses might shift their operations during this period.

If you’re curious about seasonal patterns and how Thailand marks New Year across the calendar, have a look at Thailand Celebrates New Year Three Times. It adds fun cultural context to this date shift, and it’s a good read if you’re new to Thailand or visiting during the holiday season.

Responsible play reminder

Playing the lottery should be fun. Set a budget, avoid chasing losses, and only purchase tickets from legitimate sellers or via official digital channels. If you feel your play is getting out of hand, take a break and seek guidance. Thailand has a robust community and many resources that promote safe, informed participation.

FAQs: Thai Lottery 2 January 2026

Why was this draw moved from 1 January to 2 January?

Because 1 January is a national public holiday in Thailand, the GLO shifts the draw to the next working day. In 2026, that working day is Friday, 2 January. You can track such changes alongside the national calendar in our overview of Thai Public Holidays 2026.

What time will results be posted?

We publish results here after they are officially verified following the afternoon draw. If you check during the draw window, you may see this page refresh with an “Updated” notice before the full list appears.

How do I know I’m looking at the correct results?

Always confirm with the Government Lottery Office’s official verification channels. We mirror the official numbers and add plain-language explanations, but final confirmation rests with the GLO.

Can tourists or non-residents claim prizes?

Generally, yes, provided you have a winning ticket and valid identification, and you follow the GLO’s claim process. Requirements can change, so check the official instructions on the day you claim.

What if I bought a digital ticket?

Digital ticket holders should follow the instructions in the official platform they used. You can still cross-check the result here, then confirm in-app and proceed with the recommended claim steps.
