They knew it was a fake because they never sell the winning tickets. They are given to already rich people to buy favors would be my guess. Has anyone ever seen a list of the so called winners.

Many many winners every day! At least that's where the people claim the money comes from. One guy close by me light firework at least once a month celebrating he again won the jackpot. I am sure there is no connection to the rumour that he is drug dealer.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jaltsc Posted October 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2013 The first giveaway was that the winning numbers on her lottery ticket were written in crayon. The second was when she declared herself the winner by shouting "Yaba Yaba Do" 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrain Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 An official from the Lottery office said that the ticket had been altered from 249545 to 647882. Now that is quite an altering, all but one of the numbers have been changed. She could as well have printed a complete fake ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted October 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2013 This whole lottery thing is a scam here, tickets have 100 bht printed on them but they sell for more, special numbers for a lot more,whats the top prize here? 2 M Bht , for the same price ticket in UK and I am sure other countries you can win multi millions . With the tickets going through so many hands,each getting a bht or 2,no wonder they have to sell them for more,then if you are lucky you have to pay commission to claim your prize money,the whole things corrupt from beginning to end,and why do they need so many girls to pick the winning numbers, instead of having a machine were there is virtually no chance of cheating.

Popular Post Lingba Posted October 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2013 so it's been proven the numbers were altered..and she claims she bought the ticket from a vendor,..which if true means that the vendor supposedly, altered the numbers, before the draw, with the winning numbers....Amazing that he was able to predict the winning numbers,.....wonder what his choices are for next week 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1Str8 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Right. They knew it was a fake coz tickets with first prize are not for sale. It has been revealed already that it's all manipulated. Why they still bother with this scam..called lottery I don't know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Worgeordie This is all so true. What gets me, is everytime they see a foreigner relaxing or dining the seller quickly make their way in hopes of selling a ticket, yet it's printed on the back of each ticket that in order to claim the prize you must provide a copy of your Thai ID card, not driver license as I found out first hand. Foreigners are not eligible to claim any prize money, they must go through a Thai, who can provide a copy of their Thai ID card. I've never understood why a commission has to be given to the seller to claim the prize either...? It like if the buyer is lucky to win something, he/she must then share the proceeds with the seller. Give me a break! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is quite an altering, all but one of the numbers have been changed. She could as well have printed a complete fake ticket And apparently the old number was still visible or at least visible with a rub or two. And beneath each printed digit the number, as a word in English , is printed. I wonder if she changed the numerals and left the words.
