webfact Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Baby golden turtle rubbed for lucky lottery numbers By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter Lirapan Junjamsiri with the baby gold softback turtle she found in her backyard after a flood in Krabi province. KRABI — When a baby golden softshell turtle emerged from rising floodwaters to crawl into Lirapan Junjamsri’s backyard, she took it as a sign of good fortune. So too did the community members who flocked to see the palm-size turtle Monday and rub powder on its belly in hope its luck would rub off on the eve of the national lottery.

Pimay1 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Seeing the 300-gram creature emerge from the same floodwaters which have claimed at least 43 lives as a measure of hope, I must be missing something here. I wonder what kind of sign it would be if the turtle took the end off one of her fingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfill Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I don't fancy the turtle's chances if it doesn't predict the result correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
