Sanook Thai Caption: "Makheua" numbers under a coffin Thailand is almost at fever pitch as another lottery draw is coming tomorrow, Friday. Experts are looking for ways to get the all important numbers like the last three digits. The latest craze is passing makheua or small Thai green aubergines under the coffins of dead people, then cutting them up to divine the numbers, reported Sanook. This worked for a drawing in August with many winning on the number 358 following a guy's TikTok post about his departed gran. Now the same person's aunt has shuffled off her mortal coil too and this time the numbers are different. In a viral video viewed two million times people were being told to back 868 or 550 on the back of aunty's demise. It seems Thais will go anywhere for an edge in winning the lottery, notes ASEAN NOW. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-09-15 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
