webfact Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 First fungus then a twin headed jinjok - now Thais see lottery options in a "rock-face"! Image: Sanook BANGKOK: -- It has certainly been a week for lottery numbers. Following news that Thais were seeing the winning combinations in a fungus growing at a temple then were brought winners by a falling two headed jingjok - now comes the latest. The locals are pouring into a temple in U-Thong where a cave being prepared to house a Buddhist image has thrown up the face of a deity in the carved rock, reported Sanook. The superstitious believe they can see the face of "Phra Mae Thorani" an important goddess in Buddhist mythology known in English as "mother Earth". The hordes are arriving at the temple armed with their mobile phones after the story of the face in the rock face attracted attention online. But the abbot of the forest temple of Lae Lai Worawihan whilst glad people are visiting is a bit more "old school" than the monks these days who see dollar signs for their coffers in such beliefs. The abbot said: "I am not telling people to come here to get lottery numbers. But I can't stop them - it's up to them". The image of Phra Mae Thorani is one seen at many temples in Thailand and across the region. The deity is personified as a young woman wringing the cool waters of detachment out of her hair to drown the demon Mara who was sent to tempt the Buddha during his meditation under the sacred Boh tree.

Alive Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 There seems to be an uptick in lottery interest lately. Does that say something about the economy? The lottery has to factor into the economy analysis of the nation. They should follow a rise in stories in the news and the speed at which the sellers sellout their tickets and add that to the assorted research they use to express the outlook for the Thai economy. I wonder if they sell faster in good times or hard times? Maybe they do better in the lulls between. Ah, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Some people would sell their souls for lottery numbers... And why not their votes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I have no reason to doubt you, I would want to see with my own eyes. You could have set the whole thing up. Can I suggest, that you make your way to my house and cut my lawns and we can check the cuttings together (over a cold beer of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldroj Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 According to HRH the Prince of Wales, ''I happily talk to the plants and the trees, and listen to them. I think it's absolutely crucial'' - http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/celebrity/i-talk-to-plants-but-that-doesnt-mean-im-potty-says-charles-20100920-15jor.html So, I asked the tree in my front yard for lotto advice, but all I heard was a mournful sigh! Stupid tree - last time I talk to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichiplanet Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) i see 666! Anyway i want the 6 numbers, not just 2 or 3 that Thais seem to go for. Once a fungus or rock or snake produces 6 winning numbers regularly then i will convert to animism!

How can you "low" this? Pray to a mollusk? a virus, or a bacteria maybe? perhaps soap scum in one's shower? Anyway, Thais are innovative...
