After the announcement of the government lottery or lottery results, the first step must be to stay focused. No matter how much you have won, you need to keep quiet. Otherwise, the people next to you would ask you to treat them to a meal because you have won the lottery! Thus, be quiet and follow these steps.

  • Write your name-surname and phone number on the back of the lottery ticket to prevent impersonation since it is hard to trust someone at the present time. At least, people can return the ticket to you in case you have lost it. Ps. Use pen instead of pencil because pencil can be erased. 
  • Report it to the police at the police station in case you have won a large amount of prize or the 1st prize. At least there’s evidence of winning the prize because the police will write down your details. If anyone claims your prize as theirs, you can go to the police with evidence and witnesses.
  • Take a picture and video of you and your lottery ticket or make a copy of your lottery ticket both at the front and back of it. 
  • Prepare ID card and lottery tickets to redeem your money prize. You can read for more information about redeeming your ticket at “Rich today! How to redeem a legal lottery prize?” 

You can receive prizes within 2 years after the award is announced. Did you know that there are two types of government lottery in each period, which is an ordinary government lottery? When the lucky person is awarded, he or she will get a “tax exemption” from all prize money, however a revenue stamp is still required for 1 baht for every 200 baht prize. Another one is a charity lottery, where the lucky winner is not exempt from tax from receiving the prize, and will be taxed at the rate of 1 percent of the prize money. Anyone who buys lottery tickets should check what kind of ticket immediately.
