Residents in Prachin Buri, Thailand, took part in a two-day ceremony involving a legendary giant spider to predict lottery numbers. They hope to win in Thursday’s June 1 draw, as the ritual has proven successful, reportedly bringing good fortune in lottery prediction.

 

On May 28, villagers performed the lottery prediction ritual using a legendary spider at the Non Somboon house in Muang Kao, Kabin Buri district, Prachin Buri province. The ceremony previously resulted in two successful predictions, using five floral bouquets and various candles and incense. The head of the household recited incantations for good luck and wealth. He placed the spider above the numerals 0-9 on three pieces of paper.

 

The spider was positioned facing east, based on advice from older villagers’ stories of accurate lottery predictions and good fortune. This specific ritual required completion for two nights in a row for the enchanted spider to provide its desired number.

Approximately one hour after completing the ceremony, the spider finally selected a set of numbers. A sequence of 627, and another number, 57, created excitement among the expectant villagers. They are now eager to try their luck in the draw scheduled for June 1.

Surprised the spider did not not end up in the cooking pot.
