The Government Lottery Office (GLO) is considering launching a new “lotto-style” lottery that could be managed by private companies rather than the state.
At present, the GLO runs three formats: the traditional six-digit lottery, the digital six-digit lottery, and the N3 lottery.
To avoid competing with the main lottery, N3 ticket sales are capped at 6 million per draw, though sales currently average just 2 million.
Officials attribute this shortfall to the limited number of authorised sellers, with just 4,000 compared to 30,000 sellers for the digital six-digit lottery.
In 2024, it contributed 50.8 billion baht to state coffers, with total revenue hitting 174 billion baht, up 3.3% from the previous year.
