5 million Thai state lottery tickets sold online in just 7 hours
Posted in News from Thailand
Tags: Krung Thai Bank, Online, Pao Tang app, State lottery
The Government of Thailand's Lottery Office (GLO) has reported that more than 17 million digital state lottery tickets were sold within the first seven hours of its launch on Sunday morning (July 5).
Lawan Saengsanit, GLO's chairman of the board of directors, said 7.167.500 digital tickets went on sale for the August 1 Sunday draw at 6 a.m. and 5.143.748 tickets were sold at 13.00 p.m. The tickets were purchased by 737.634 users of Krung Thai Bank's Pao Tang app.
This is the fourth time 80 baht lottery tickets have been sold online by the GLO, with the number of tickets increasing from 5,15 million to 7,17 million in response to rising demand for state lottery tickets.
Lawan added that the GLO will gradually increase the number of tickets sold by one or two million at a time, but he is trying to balance the two types of tickets, trying to help small sellers survive.
Furthermore, GLO director Noon Sansanakhom warned the public that digital lottery tickets cannot be resold. The Pao Tang app keeps track of who bought the ticket first and prizes may only be awarded to the first purchaser.

Sorry to all those sellers. Another bread/rice production at the bottom of society that is disappearing. Not that people got rich from it, but it's better to sell lottery tickets than to do nothing if you can't do much.
I think this 'livelihood' owes it to itself, Bram.
For a long time there has been 80 baht on each ticket, the Thai saleswoman continues to insist that she must have a hundred baht or more for a ticket.
These are the news headlines.
Thai government will sell ฿80 lottery tickets online to prevent too high prices.
This is not due to the street vendors, who also pay 80 THB per lot for purchase. The distribution system is rotten. Some big guys buy everything vsn GLO and sell it to the street vendor for 80thb or more.
My wife has 3 girlfriends who sell lottery tickets, all 3 of whom tell the same story
Again, Bert after a search [you] on the digital highway.
Each ticket costs 70 baht and 40 satang at the Government Lottery Office.
It is unclear to me why people do not buy from GLO.
Don't want to judge that.
Anyway small train of thought from 70 baht and 40 satang to 80 baht is less than from 80 baht to 100 baht, and less work and cash flow I think just like that.
And from 70 Baht and 40 satang to 100 Baht is not bad.

Yes, convenience serves the (digital) people and the Thais are world leaders in the use of the internet and probably also buy online. So you could see this development coming from afar. Especially when the street prices of the lottery tickets went up because the government didn't want to raise the price and didn't want to tackle the middlemen.
Sad? Yes, maybe, but so are the milkman, the greengrocer, the fishmonger (on Fridays in the Catholic South). the peeler, the coalman and the scissors sharpener of my youth. If I miss them (nostalgia) I always look in my old photo albums (not on my computer). My kids don't even know what they're seeing. And so it goes with the Thai lottery ticket sellers (nice word for Scrabble, if we know what that is) too.
I am a dying generation. I've never bought anything online. I go to the bookstore and other shops. Pleasant.
I also buy locally and in the store at the market as much as possible. But for buying a plane ticket you really have to rely on the internet. I wouldn't know if there are still travel agencies with a shop.
No idea what the real story behind the distribution is Bert.
I have no doubt that there will be some strange things again.
It's been playing for many years, thought since 2015.
Have you ever heard the story of a beer buddy who borrowed 50000 Baht purchase lottery tickets twice a month and was sold by two of his wife's sisters.
In the event of non-payment, the exercise will end in whole or in part.
24 hours before the lottery tickets were sold to those sellers, the old Thai dad was already at the ticket office to pay the agency that sold those tickets so that they were the first at that ticket office.
Wasn't bad business for the sisters, I understood.
He himself saw it as a good gesture to the family.
In a radius of less than a hundred meters from my wife's convenience store and various other shops, there are four in a fixed location and at least as many pass by by bike with a pit stop two or three days before the trek.
If there is really little or nothing to earn, you don't do it.
William, 50.000 baht divided by 80 for a double ticket means 625 double tickets and 10 baht per double on that means 6.250 baht twice a month. Yeah, that's pretty nice for a poor Thai.
But if they have to pay 80 for purchasing and are not allowed to charge more than 80, then there must be a commission somewhere because even a Thai doesn't work for free.
Online sales cost those people money. You used to see that when the 'state' could be bought online and through shops. The regular points of sale then were the collectors of the state lottery, a highly coveted job at the time! Those disappeared.
Posted a link [NNT] in this topic dear Erik on July 21, 2022 at 12:33 PM.
Clear explanation in it with official figures.
Then you will also see that figures are different official and somewhat less official.
Of course, bulk buyers should not be the first to buy or be able to buy so much that the small buyer is put against the wall.
There should be a limit on that.
For the rest I see it and many Thai also as a part-time job in other words they earn the same in half the time as a factory worker as an example.
This provides the government with a great deal of data from previously anonymous players and the question now is whether this is to the advantage or disadvantage of the players.
In any case, it fits the strategy of collecting as much financial information as possible from non-tax registered residents because income remains income and data centers forget nothing.
That the Thais are tired of paying more than 80 THB for a lottery ticket is certain. Although there were also few who objected much to pay 100 THB. For years there seemed to be a tacit mutual agreement not to ask for and pay more than 100 THB. The price has now gone completely crazy. Just over a year ago, 120 THB was asked in our village. Even months before the GLO started online sales, the price was already 400 THB for 3 tickets at the street restaurant next door.
Last week on our way back home we had dinner in a street restaurant. During the time (45 min) we were there, no less than 7 vendors came to promote their lottery tickets. My wife bought a set of 5 lottery tickets and paid 700 THB. So 140 THB per lot. The saleswoman didn't want to take it off. All sellers asked the same price. A few wanted to sell for less but were afraid that other sellers would find out. They look like price agreements. The difference between the 70 THB 40 satang (purchase price for the distributors) and the current sales price is therefore virtually the same as the price of the ticket. And that while the official sales price may not exceed 80 THB.
There is no doubt that there are many intermediaries who each want to take their share. But that doesn't make the bill the buyer's. This is now proven by the enormous success of online sales.
I also think I read that the GLO will never put all lots for sale online to give the small sellers something. Although those street vendors that were initially targeted (blind, handicapped, elderly, underprivileged) have long since been replaced by people (often younger women) who drive from village to village by motorcycle. And see it as an extra income or a supplement to the family income.
I will not say that the price is not an issue, but it is mainly the convenience that the Thais want.
Which thai really goes looking for a strat seller?
They come to you (if you are a good customer; my wife always gives the numbers to the regular salesperson by phone, who wants them and the salesperson then buys them in) or you walk past them (on the street) or you can almost not around it (at temples and markets). But online is even easier…that's all.
The added value of the street vendor could be that he/she has/buys the numbers that the customer wants and delivers those lottery tickets at home.
