Popular Post webfact Posted August 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2014 Lottery loser redecorates home with his shame By Coconuts BangkokBANGKOK: -- What would do you if you wasted more than THB4 million on lottery tickets that yielded less than 10 percent? Burn them all, craft a paper mache idol or reuse them as coasters? One Pathum Thani man decided to assemble them into a mural of his shame to remind himself never to make a bet again. Pipop Panyaem, deputy mayor of the Khlong Luang district and father of two, had been testing his luck since 1999, spending more than THB10,000 per purchase, according to Sanook. In 13 years, Pipop estimates having spent more than THB4 million to win less than THB400,000.

Popular Post Pomthai Posted August 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well, if he has 4 mill to burn, then perhaps he doesn't need to win the lottery anyway. And Karma agrees. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post clockman Posted August 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2014 The lottery is so corrupt anyway. No transparency. Steal from the poor and disabled. Should have been stopped and a legal lottery put in its place. If the military want to stop corruption. Get rid of it now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 So he spent more then 25000 Baht per month. I wonder what his facial expression would be if someone showed him how much money he would have now if he had put it in to a savings account every month.

useronthenet Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Another well-executed SCAM at the expense of the people. I wonder if we will ever know how much revenue was gained from this exercise ? Is there no end to which those perpetrators will invent new ways to con the Thai public ? What a carry-on ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well lets face it, lotto is gambling, so where does this sit with the police, just thought I'd remind them after their piss poor effort during the soccer world cup B/S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means the 80 baht fixed price now instead of the arbitrary scalping of the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I don't believe his lottery tickets over the years only yielded him 10% return. Why all my in-laws and Thai friends talk like they win all the time. I guess that's why they always buy more lottery tickets. Yea, this guy is just unlucky.

FangFerang Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The second biggest corruption in Thailand -- the Lottery. Companies, three companies, pay for the tickets ahead of time. Less than half are sold. Anyone want to venture a guess how many times those three companies -- supposedly selling lottery tickets -- have won the lottery? It's legal, of course, they paid for the tickets...... Yeah, right. This is one of hundreds of examples of how the current push to get rid of corruption is a very selective, uneven effort, and ineffective to boot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseLost Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Didn't an entire batch of tickets go missing a few months ago? ...
