The winning number from bi-monthly Thai lottery was 244083 making instant rich persons out of some lucky Thais. A winning ticket receives 6 million baht(泰铢).

The winner of 48 million baht—8 winning tickets is a 36-year-old car salesman from Chaiyaphum Province, Paisarn. He’s single and works at a Toyota showroom in the Chaiyaphum city area.

Paisarn said while he was having dinner with a friend the night before the draw, a lottery seller came to his table where he was eating. The seller showed the winner his last set of tickets, 8 tickets with the same number. The seller asked Paisarn to buy the remaining tickets so he could afford to return to his home in Loei (north east Thailand). Paisarn’s generous action in helping the ticket seller finally paid off!

When the lottery draw numbers were announced, Paisarn checked the numbers and was shocked because all 8 tickets were winning tickets, each bringing in the 6 million winner prize. As it is the law, the winner quickly went to file a report with the local police as evidence that the tickets belong to him.

Paisarn says he will pay off debts and give some money to his parents for all the good that they’ve done for him. Paisarn says he will carefully use the money for the security of his future.
