The buzz around the “hot lottery” is intensifying in Chiang Mai, with locals eagerly purchasing tickets for Sunday’s draw in hopes of securing the lucky numbers revealed by revered teacher Sreevichai.

 

The allure of the lottery is strong, despite the ongoing rainy season and the ticket price remaining at 100 baht per ticket and 110-120 baht for a series. The lottery draw is scheduled for October 1.

 

The lottery sales atmosphere in Chiang Mai is bustling despite intermittent rain showers. Locals are flocking to various stalls to get their hands on these coveted tickets.

 

Areas bustling with activity include the Mahidol Road in the Mueang district, the train station area, the Hai Ya Cemetery area, and the Chiang Mai Gate area.

 

Even early morning markets in various districts and larger stalls along the Chiang Mai-Lamphun road in Saraphi district are teeming with eager participants.
