Lottery riches! Single mum scoops big after "Ai Khai" appears in a dream!

Sanook reported that a single mum called Thongpan, aged 49, went to the Muang Chaiyaphum police in the north east of Thailand yesterday to report a 12 million baht win in the state lottery. 

 

Thongpan said that she had prayed to the spirit of "Ai Khai" (a child that died and who has been credited with bringing riches to the faithful).

 

After her prayers Ai Khai appeared in a dream and urged her to purchase the number 51. 

 

She did this on the way to work buying two tickets with the number 286051 that duly came up. 

 

She checked the tickets after work then went to record her luck with the constabulary.

 

This is a common practice in Thailand, notes Thaivisa. 

 

Thongpan said she would clear her debts and spend the money on her children.

Agreed, but I doubt if she agreed to the publicity...

How about story covering similar folks who got messages in dreams, off of license plates, etc etc and didn't win? In the interests of fair and balanced reporting

How wonderful. She will soon have joyous reunions with hundreds of beloved relatives and close friends....that she has never met before.

 

 

 

   Methinks the Thai man who left her holding the babies is kicking himself now.

what about the millions of others who had a dream and got nowt?

Yeah the amount of women I know that say they win lottery they lucky as dream or some guru tell them on Facebook. I tell my wife she’s seriously stupid if she thinks these women win as many times as they say . They say they win just about every time but they never post the numbers they buy before the lottery is done , is always after it’s done and say oh I won . Then there are the ones who have farang husbands who basically spend 5-10000 a fortnight of the money he sends from abroad for her to pay house bills , car , feed kids etc . If there are 100 numbers and she buys 80 of them then she’s got good chance of winning , but not always !

I'd rather read a single story about someone who won than 20 million who didn't..

Nobody cares about losers. Only winners are newsworthy.

I had a lovely dream not long ago, that I 'got lucky' with this sexy long time lady-friend of my wife.

But no dream about 'Lottery'......    LOL

millions of dollars every week without dreaming

12 million according to the OP 

 

Small compared to some western lotto prizes, but absolutely life

changing for a 49 year old lady from NE Thailand who probably earns

2000 a month, if that.

 

Some Thais are fairly superstitious, especially when it comes to buying

a lotto ticket, so the dream aspect will be lapped up by the hopeful.

Exactly my first thought.

It has been known for people to claim they brought the ticket and lost it or somebody stole it from them. TIT

Oh sure, I get that. Lotteries aren't there to lose money.... that 20 million came from those who didn't win in spite of charms, magic numbers, etc. Lotteries, casinos, etc should have signs "Warning: odds are very much not in your favor & you will lose. These things aren't set up to give money but to take from gullible"

Dude, some? Every Thai I have meet are very superstitious and religious. They genuinely believe their buddhist lucky charms and writings keep them safe which is part of the reason for the crazy driving and number of road accidents.

 

Some of the superstitious believes are nuts such as if a child whispers a number Thais believe it's a "lucky number" and buy Lotto tickets for it. If they have a bad dream they think it's a sign. 

 

Here's a real crazy one, my missus believes if a dog farts it means someone is going to die or have a bad accident.  

 

I believe that people who are highly religious and superstitious are very simple minded.
