Lottery Plus awarded 12 million baht to a Chanthaburi winner who allowed the Jid-Rid mascot to randomly select winning numbers without picking any digits themselves. At 4 p.m. on July 16, 2569, the Government Lottery Office announced results including first prize 639214, front three-digit winners 683 and 709, back three-digit winners 746 and 427, and back two-digit winner 71. Officials quickly displayed the winning lottery tickets from the safe during a live broadcast lasting approximately two minutes.

Two first-prize winning tickets worth 12 million baht total were claimed by residents of Chanthaburi province. Mr. Tawan, the lucky winner, received two winning tickets worth 12 million baht in total. He learned of his win while watching the live broadcast on his phone and received a congratulatory call from Nott Pantawat Nakwisit. The lottery company invited celebrity "Noo Lek Gag Gag" and mascot Jid-Rid to celebrate the announcement. Nott will personally deliver the prize money to Mr. Tawan in Chanthaburi province today.
