Popular Post webfact Posted February 2 Popular Post Share Posted February 2 A street sweeper’s life transformed overnight when luck smiled upon her with a 12-million-baht government lottery win. Somsong Singsa, a 56 year old municipal worker from Si Sa Ket province, revealed that a vendor’s persuasion made her purchase two winning tickets. After four decades of toil, she now plans to resign and provide for her family, who are overjoyed at their sudden fortune. In the town of Nong Khruea Sud, within the streets that Somsong Singsa has kept clean for over 40 years, a celebration erupted as her family learned of her windfall. The win of 12 million baht came from the government lottery drawn yesterday, February 1, where Somsong held the two tickets bearing the number 607063. Just a few days before the draw, while resting during her lunch break at the Ton Makluea market, Somsong was approached by a lottery ticket vendor who implored her to purchase tickets. Claiming she had tickets that would win the first prize, the vendor convinced Somsong to buy two instead of the one she intended. It was a decision that would dramatically change her life. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-02 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

DiDiChok Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Vivian "Viv" Nicholson (née Asprey; 3 April 1936 – 11 April 2015) was a British woman who became famous when she told the media that she would "spend, spend, spend" after her husband Keith won £152,319 (equivalent to £3,600,000 in 2021) on the football pools in 1961.[1] Nicholson became the subject of tabloid news stories for many years because of the couple's subsequent rapid spending of their fortune and her later chaotic life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Good on her, let's hope that she spends the money wisely, and let's hope that she does not give in to pleas from many friends and relatives who are no doubt going to approach her, now that this has gone public. Imagine how amazing it would be if you could win a major lottery prize, without anyone knowing? You could then be as generous as you pleased, for all the right reasons.

JeffersLos Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The first thing to do: Pack up and leave the Sisakhet town they are in. They will be hounded with sob stories and requests for loans every time they step outside the house. If they refuse they will be utterly despised, if they agree it will never, ever end.
