In practice, the official price is almost always marked up. Street vendors might ask 120-130 baht for a ticket-pair. It was 3 million Two tickets 6 million Now it's one ticket 6 million. One day the online will be updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and there is a 0.5% Tax also.........Good Luck......... Plus some merit if a little tea money is shared. Then the chap who redeems the ticket takes a fee. Every one likes a lottery winner. Free food, free drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending where you live there are shops that will give you the cash for winning tickets up to 15000 THB less tax. Once you go to the big money then you will need to go to the Lottery Office in Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb17 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Oh well never mind- I’m quite sure the people who sell lottery tickets are earning millions every month. On the other hand the twenty baht that you were so cruelly deprived of might help to look after their families. Just look at the wider picture.

And extract the winners. 555 That would be a great deal But of course it is not true They apply as sellers once accepted they buy lots of X amount at a discounted price (.68 baht for wholesalers & .70baht for street sellers last I heard) Anything unsold may be credited back IF returned to lottery office by 10-11am (if I remember correctly) on lottery day (1st & 16th) If not returned by that time they basically bought them as they cannot be returned Edited November 14, 2018 by meechai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The Thai lottery is ridiculous. 80 baht is the official ticket price but most vendors sell the tickets for considerably more, usually 100 baht. That said, in Canada (and I believe the US as well) half the gross total ticket sale revenue goes to prize money. In Thailand, I believe it is about 10%.

mogandave Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Do the people claiming the Thai lottery is a rip-off think that lotteries in other countries are not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice, the official price is almost always marked up. Street vendors might ask 120-130 baht for a ticket-pair. They merged the two tickets into a single one. A difficult thing to grasp I understand, but whatever the prize you win, you will get double that amount, as you have a "double ticket". The vendors who have a static pitch will charge 80 bt, yet if you are buying from a mobile vendor, expect to pay 20 baht more for a single whammy! Good luck, I've been buying them for decades, confident in the knowledge that my number will eventually come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
