An Udon woman who won 90 million baht in the lottery a couple of years ago celebrated her 48th birthday with a distribution of 300,000  baht in gold and twenty baht notes. 

 

After a religious ceremony, birthday party and slap up feast for 200 guests, Wanlee Panyaso in Kumphawadee district of Udon Thani in Thailand's north east sent up ten paramotors into the sky. 

 

They distributed bundles of 20 baht notes and pieces of paper containing her name that could be exchanged for one quarter baht weight of gold (worth about 6,800 baht). 

 

The paramotors came from a club and flew over the village of Ban Nong Hia where 3,000 people gathered expectantly.

Many children had a great time and were among those who got their hands on the handouts. 

 

Wanlee wanted to give back to her community to mark her 48th birthday.

She won 90 million baht on  number 149840 in the November 1st 2018 draw. She had 15 winning tickets at 6 million baht each. 

 

Thirty police and local officials kept order and Covid-19 regulations were followed at the party, reported Sanook.

She won 1,5 year ago and she still has any money left? She can't be Thai!!!

 

Oh wait. She is renting paramotors and dropping money from the sky...... .

 

90M will probably take more than one family trip to the shopping mall to eat sea food or buying 4x4 Hilux/Fortuner for papa.

Kudos lady....should i ever get that lucky i hope i would do the same.
Realistically, probably not which obviously stops me from being that lucky.

The face on her.

 

I've seen happier, friendlier 48 year old Immigration Officers. 

Well done that lady????

Well at least she had the sense not to give it to the local Wat.

A lot of Thai Visa readers seem to forget the Golden Rule.  Her gold, her rules.  Not what I would do but then it's not my decision.
