Kanchanaburi court decides fate of disputed 30 million baht lottery

[snoop1130]

 

In a high-stakes legal battle, the much-anticipated verdict in the 30 million baht lottery case was delivered yesterday at the Kanchanaburi Provincial Court.

 

The plaintiff, retired police officer Charoon Wimol, commonly known as Uncle Charoon, filed a lawsuit against teacher Preecha Kraikruan, and his lawyer, Waryuth Boonwongsai. The dispute centred on a winning lottery ticket from the November 1, 2017 draw, with the contested number 533726, which Preecha claimed to own.

 

The lawsuit garnered widespread attention after several years of legal wrangling. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Preecha was not the rightful owner of the lottery ticket. With the case reaching its climax, Uncle Charoon expressed his well-being and declined to leave any message for Preecha, instead suggesting that the court’s decision be awaited. Despite previous attempts at reconciliation by Preecha, Charoon affirmed his unwillingness to forgive and wished good fortune to lottery purchasers, hoping they would never encounter a similar ordeal.

 

On the day of the verdict, Preecha, accompanied by his wife, Ratana, arrived at the court, facing the plaintiff’s party. However, the two parties did not engage in conversation, and a notable figure known as Jae Baab Bin left the vicinity before proceedings began, reported KhaoSod.

So, after reading the article twice, who won the money who got the money I was thinking it’d be the cop because he probably pay the judges off the first one probably do it TIT

This has been going on for years and at the final it is not clear which of the two parties was deemed, by the Court, to be the rightful owner......🙄

The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Preecha was not the rightful owner of the lottery ticket.

 

Sounds fairly clear.
