Man allegedly steals winning lottery tickets valued 40,000 baht from a friend

Police have issued a warrant for the summoning of a Thai man accused of stealing two winning lottery tickets valued at 40,000 baht from a victim.

 

The victim, a 64 year old man named Klai, lodged a complaint against his friend, a 50 year old Thai man named Kwan, at Taluk Doo Police Station in the Udon Thani province of Isaan. Klai alleged that Kwan stole two winning lottery tickets from him.

 

Klai explained that he bought four lottery tickets and asked Kwan to help him check the results on October 16. While checking the last two tickets, Kwan looked suspicious and informed Klai that he had not won the prizes.

Klai tried to get the tickets back, but Kwan refused, saying he would burn them all because they were all worthless. Klai left the tickets with Kwan and later found out that he was lying.

If he hasn't got the tickets how does he know they were winning numbers?

Yes the report doesn't mention that, maybe he wrote them down or just remembered the 'lucky' numbers he chose.

If that's his house in the back ground perhaps he could make some upgrades.
