Picture: Thai Rath

 

The husband and wife owners of a recently opened electrical appliance store were the big winners of 60 million baht with the ticket number 929332 in yesterday's state lottery draw.

 

Suchet Phimpha 42, and Khanita Phimpha, 32, went to register their lucky win with ten tickets to Pol Capt Preecha Teksee of the Lat Lum Kaew, Pathum Thani police before catching up with reporters from Thai Rath at their nearby store.

 

Khanitha said that they had just had a "tham bun" or merit making ceremony to mark the opening of their shop on Wednesday. 

 

She'd seen the number 32 on some pomelo, it was also her age and she'd had a dream about a relative with a pick-up who'd driven into a klong. Their plate number was 2232 that were also the last four numbers of her phone number.

 

So getting a 32 number was a no-brainer!

 

She asked her elder sister to buy that number for her online yesterday morning and when the numbers were drawn in the afternoon employees said the last three digits were 332.

 

When she enquired what the first three were and was told 929 she and her husband kept their composure in the shop before going out back where all hell broke loose.

 

Khanitha said she and her family were people who believed in sacred things and always made merit.

 

She'd be paying off their debts, investing in a warehouse and doing plenty more merit making following the win, that is large by Thai standards. 

 

She added that two of her employees also won with the number 83 (the two digit winner).

 

Before saying that any customers of her shop could enjoy a 20% discount at her store from now until next Friday.

Good for them, I hope they enjoy their winnings

I'll start eating more pomelos from now on maybe at least my 67 years old wife will turn to be 32...

If win big money never brag about it in any media. Not social or tv, newspapers. Just create problems and jealousy among friends and family.

I dreamt about a gogo girl, but damned if I could remember her number.

Do you remember how many 'pomelos' she had?

was it the Twins 32 and 33?

The LAST people on the planet I'd share / "register" my winnings with would be the RTP. Why, oh why , won't they learn? 

Hope they enjoy their winnings and put some aside for a rainy day.
