First-prize winner of government lottery must wait until Nov 21 to get money
First-prize winners of government lottery tickets must wait until November 21 to claim their rewards, the Government Lottery Office (GLO) announced on Wednesday.
GLO director Noon Sansanakom said that lucky buyers of government lottery tickets for the November 16 draw cannot claim the first prize cash of the winning tickets on the following day as usual because the government has declared November 16 to 18 as special government holidays for Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Nonthaburi provinces.
Since the GLO is located at Government Complex in Nonthaburi, the winners of the first prize would have to wait for the GLO to open on November 21.
The wait would be applied to both printed ticket and digital versions of the government lottery, he said.
But winners of prizes from second prizes to two and three digits can claim money from any branches of Krung Thai Bank, Government Savings Bank and Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives in case they buy printed ticket versions, Noon said.
Those who win second and other prizes apart from the first prize for the digital version can claim their rewards immediately by using the Pao Tang app of the Krung Thai Bank, the GLO director added.
