The Government Lottery Office has postponed the lottery draw to 17 January 2026 to avoid "Teachers' Day," making this a permanent annual adjustment.
Many people wonder when the lottery will be drawn, as they eagerly await big wins from lucky numbers on the 1st and 16th of every month. However, in January each year, there is a special change: the Government Lottery Office permanently shifts the draw date in January from the 16th to the 17th, between 14:30 and 16:00. This is because 16 January is Teachers' Day, and the office, along with the government, wishes to show respect and importance to this occasion.
Nevertheless, lottery players still have one more day to gather "lucky numbers" for the draw on 17 January 2026.
