Hundreds of thankful villagers return to pay respect to ‘lottery goddess’ in Prachin Buri

PRACHIN BURI: -- Hundreds of thankful villagers returned to a temple in Prachin Buri Thursday morning to fulfill their promise given to a “lottery goddess” after they won two- and three-digit underground lottery betting Wednesday.

 

These same villagers came to Wat Phra Ya Tham since late Tuesday night on the eve of government lottery day on Wednesday to pray for winning two or three-digit numbers, promising to somehow repay the spirit they believe to reside in the ta-khian log.

 

The log has been unearthed from a bottom of a nearby river and it has been transported to the temple by trailer truck with a license plate of 82-1953.

as Mr Spock would say:

 

"Random chance seems to have operated in their favor."

Thai style Buddhism, at its best.

As a result, hundreds of them returned to the temple to pray in front of the log.

 

Pray to the loooog... totally makes sense... 

[trogers]

So, the other tens of thousands didn't come back to pay their respect?

I think the log should be PM

Isn't the underground lottery illegal?

Truly amazing. First it's statues on the dashboard saving dumb motorists from death when they drive insanely.

Now a log won the lottery.

Did I enter a time warp when I came through Swampy, to the dark ages?

“lottery goddess” isn't "Thai" Buddhism a wonderful thing?
