A woman in Sukhothai has accused her neighbour of stealing a first-prize lottery ticket worth 6 million baht. The 54 year old complainant said she bought three tickets, later asked her neighbour to check the results, and was allegedly told that one of them had won. She claimed the neighbour then asked to keep the tickets for prize collection, but later said none of them had won and that the tickets had been thrown away. The woman said she found two of the tickets in a rubbish bin, but the ticket bearing the alleged winning number was missing. Police are now questioning those involved, including the lottery vendor and waste collectors, as they work to determine what happened to the missing ticket.
