Decidedly, ChatGPT has not finished surprising us. Among all the uses allowed by the AI, there is one that we had not suspected: guessing the winning numbers of the lottery. Yet that is what happened to this Thai player, or at least that’s what he says on his TikTok account. But is it believable?
It is now accepted that ChatGPT is much more than a conversational AI. The more time passes, the more we discover unsuspected uses of the OpenAI chatbot. Whether it’s planning your vacation, writing code, or even saving a dog’s life, we bet you don’t know all of his talents yet. And it is not Patthawikorn Boonrin who will say the opposite.
Patthawikorn Boonrin is a Thai TikTok user, a fan of gambling and, in particular, the lottery. Also, he asked himself a simple, but no less unusual question: is ChatGPT able to predict the winning numbers of the lottery? According to him, it would seem so. Indeed, he claims to have played the numbers offered to him by the chatbot and to have won a small sum.

He claims ChatGPT helped him win the lottery
Before getting there, however, Patthawikorn Boonrin had to insist a little. ChatGPT initially showed some reluctance to guess the lottery numbers, but ended up agreeing by asking the user for the game name as well as the draw period. Following this, the AI analyzed data provided by the player, then calculated the numbers that could come out in the next draw. Bingo, this one won 2000 baht, or about €53.

So, is all of this believable? We wanted to test ChatGPT’s prediction capabilities ourselves. As we might expect, he replied that the lottery is a game based on chance and that it was therefore “impossible to predict the winning numbers of the next draw”. However, according to Patthawikorn Boonrin, it is possible to mathematically determine the next draw, from the previous winning numbers. The FDJ providing a history of all its draws, you can always try your luck.
