Since its public introduction in November 2022, ChatGPT as an advanced AI-based product has captured the world’s attention, as well as gamblers. A Thai man says he used Chat-GPT to predict winning numbers in the lottery.
A lucky Thai man has triggered quite a stir in the gambling community after he publicized that he scooped a 2,000-baht prize from the Thai Government Lottery Office on April 1 by using a set of numbers generated by the AI chatbot, ChatGPT.
The fortunate winner, Patthawikorn Boonin shared his achievement story on Facebook, claiming that he won the 2,000-baht prize on April 1 cheers to the AI chatbot’s generated numbers, which were 57, 27, 29, and 99. The two-digit winning number declared on that day was 99, which matched one of the numbers generated by ChatGPT. He said…
It is time to pray to the robot!
Thai man wins lottery with numbers given by ChatGPT
His Facebook post rapidly absorbed attention from the Thai gambling community, with over 2,700 reactions and 1,200 comments. Despite the fact some were thrilled about the vision of using ChatGPT to generate winning lottery numbers, others were skeptical.
Some people recommended that the numbers were just a random set that Patthawikorn picked himself and he was just lucky that one of them matched the result. Others asked him for evidence to show how he had asked ChatGPT to generate the numbers.
Patthawikorn gave an interview with CatDumb, where he described that he asked ChatGPT about the lottery winning numbers more than a few times before.

Patthawikorn exposed that he had asked the AI straight what the winning numbers would be, but ChatGPT answered that it was unpredictable and a matter of luck. The chatbot even recommended him to stop being obsessed with the lottery and go exercise. Though, Patthawikorn did not give up and tried to ask the AI again in a different way. He inputted hypothetical situations along with the historical statistics of winning numbers from the previous ten years, and the chatbot gave him a calculating formula and numbers.
Specialists have yet to provide a clear clarification of how ChatGPT can make available the winning numbers, but many Thai netizens are looking forward to seeing the next AI-generated numbers to see if Boonin’s success was a fluke or if ChatGPT can guess lottery outcomes. Regardless of the result, Patthawikorn’s story has highlighted the rising influence of AI in everyday life and its potential to change the way we approach various activities, as well as gambling.
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and released in November 2022. Furthermore, Microsoft is known as a prime investor in the project which carried massive resources and experience to the development.
