Living far from home doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the excitement of the Thai lottery. Whether it’s for fun, tradition, or the slim but thrilling hope of winning big, many Thai expats still like to check their lucky numbers- even from Denmark.
Here’s a simple guide to checking Thai lottery results online, no matter where you are in the world.
When Are the Thai Lottery Results Announced?
The official Thai lottery draws happen twice a month:
- On the 1st of each month
- And again on the 16th
The draw usually starts around 2:30 PM Thailand time, with the full results published by 4:00 PM.
If you’re in Denmark, that means the results will be ready by 10:00 AM Danish time (depending on daylight saving). So you don’t have to stay up late or wait too long!
What’s the Easiest Way to Check from Denmark?
The fastest way is to go online. There are several websites that update the winning numbers shortly after the draw ends. Most of these sites are free to use and easy to navigate- even if you’re not super tech-savvy.
A good example is lotteryt.com, which offers the results in both Thai and English. It shows the full list of winning numbers, including the top prize, runner-ups, and smaller awards. You can even browse old results if you want to double-check a previous ticket.
Again, this is just one of many sites- you can also find updates on the official Government Lottery Office (GLO) website or on Thai news platforms. Some people also follow live broadcasts on YouTube or Facebook, if they enjoy the full draw experience.
Tips for Checking Your Numbers
Here are a few things to keep in mind when checking your ticket from abroad:
- Keep your ticket safe – If someone else is holding your ticket back home, make sure you trust them.
- Check all the prize levels – You might not win the jackpot, but there are smaller prizes too.
- Double-check the date – Make sure you’re looking at the right draw date before comparing numbers.
- Be aware of scams – Only use trusted sites. Avoid any website that asks for personal information or payment just to check your numbers.
What If You Win?
If you’re lucky enough to win a prize and your ticket is in Thailand, you’ll need someone you trust to claim it for you – or you can do it yourself the next time you visit. Just remember that there’s a small tax on winnings, and that large prizes must be claimed at the official lottery office in Bangkok.
Final Thoughts
Even when you’re far from Thailand, checking the lottery can still be a small way to feel connected to home. Whether it’s a monthly habit or something you do for fun with family, staying updated is simple and just a few clicks away.
So the next time you hear “ออกแล้ว!” (the results are out!), you’ll know exactly where to look.
