A Lottery Plus customer won the first prize across nine tickets totaling 54 million baht, and the lucky winner said he never expected such a win but remained hopeful because he regularly donates to charity. At 4 p.m. on August 16, 2025, the Government Lottery Office announced the draw results: first prize number 004615, three-digit front prizes of 731 and 429, three-digit back prizes of 937 and 094, and a two-digit back prize of 53. After the announcement, Lottery Plus staff quickly retrieved the actual winning tickets from the safe and displayed them live, taking only about two minutes to do so.

Among the winners and those who did not win this round, Nott Phanthawat Nakvisut from Lottery Plus called to congratulate the lucky winner. Lottery Plus also invited celebrity Chompoo Araya to join the prize announcement, and a cute mascot character danced to celebrate the occasion. Nine first-prize winners from Nakhon Ratchasima shared the 54 million baht jackpot in total. BJ, a winner from Nakhon Ratchasima, won all nine first-prize tickets worth 54 million baht. When Nott called, BJ recognized him but did not know why he was calling and was driving at the time, so Nott asked him to pull over.

BJ asked Nott if he was well before Nott asked about his own status. BJ then revealed that he never thought he would win the first prize, but he is someone who enjoys helping others and regularly donates to charity. He hoped he might get lucky someday, and when he learned he had won the first prize, BJ eagerly thanked Nott with joy. Today Nott will travel to Nakhon Ratchasima to deliver the prize money to BJ in person.
