[snoop1130]

 

A Thai mag wheel shop owner struck it lucky with a lottery win worth hundreds of thousands of baht after requesting blessings online and vowed to make a merit offering to a revered child spirit known as Kumarn Thong Jao Sua Heng.

 

This event sparked a surge of lottery enthusiasts flocking to the Rasi Salai Hermitage in Ayutthaya Province, seeking out lucky numbers for the upcoming lottery draw on February 14.

 

Located in Tambon Pho Taeng, the hermitage is a hub for spiritual seekers and tourists alike, especially as the lottery date nears. People come to ask for blessings, luck, fortune, and career advancements from the sacred entities residing there.

 

Among the revered figures are Thao Wessuwan, with his imposing nine-faced image standing 16 metres tall, the largest Phra Ruesi Por Gae statue in the world, the Kumarn Thong Jao Sua Heng, the Goddess of the Teak Tree, and Lord Ganesha.
