The Thai government is rolling out the new L6 and N3 formats of government lottery, following earlier endorsement by the Cabinet. Related agencies are introducing the necessary regulations and rules, before officially launching these new lottery products to the general public.
The caretaker government has continued to work towards introducing L6 and N3 government lottery formats to the general public, in an attempt to improve the government lottery program and its revenue stream for the state.
The two new lottery formats are the L6 six-digit lottery, and the N3 three-digit lottery. Both of these lottery programs differ in terms of availability and rewards.
Deputy Government Spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek revealed the Cabinet in its weekly meeting on Tuesday approved three draft announcements and ministerial regulations regarding these new lottery products.
According to these draft announcements, N3 lotteries will be sold only through online channels. This lottery type provides rewards for those with matching numbers in certain digits. Meanwhile, L6 lotteries will be available on both online and offline channels, with 14,168 winners across reward categories fixed for each drawing.
The difference between L6 and N3 lotteries is the option to accumulate rewards from a drawing cycle with no winners with the next cycle. The accumulation is only limited to two consecutive cycles, after which any unclaimed rewards from the previous month will be taken as state revenue. Drawings for both L6 and N3 lotteries will be made on the 1st and 16th day of each month. (NNT)
