rooster59 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Construction worker wins life-changing Bt12m lottery prize By The Nation Forty-year-old construction worker Detnarong Tembab's life turned upside down on Friday when he won the Bt12 million first prize in the government's February 1 lottery. Detnarong's home, in Lampang province’s Ngaw district, tambon Wangnua, was crowded with relatives and friends on Saturday. He told reporters that one night he dreamed that his younger brother told him the number “134.” And when he went to buy the lottery ticket at a market in Ngaw district and found two tickets that ended with that number he bought them both. When the draw was announced on Friday, with the winning number 967134, he became a millionaire as two the tickets meant he won a total of Bt12 million. He has already registered the tickets with police in the district but did not know when he would get his winnings. He said he plans to have a house built for his mother with the winnings and look at business opportunities.

Lucius verus Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) I think he better move to another province even go to Laos and start a Thai restaurant. If he stays in NakonNowhere he will be swamped by long lost friends and relatives. Every single old unpaid bank loan and loan shark IOU's in his village will be 'called in 'with interest. He'll regret telling the media about his windfall. Bank managers are already pulling out cold files and calculating the amount payable.

puukao Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 i hope he wasn't a construction worker because of weak cognitive skills. if it was me, i would be out of town and try to cash it somewhere else. trust nobody. have your friends hate you for a few weeks, but tell the ones close to you that you will talk to them after you relocate. in America, the lottery can get to be 31,289,111,389 baht. and it only costs one USD to play. i'm sure worse odds. imagine if he won that. winning the lottery really might be horrible. some places they kidnap your family. other places, worse. and the friend that took 200,000 now wants only 10,000 more. then another 20,000...and it will never, ever end. their job is to take your money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
