Thai Lottery Winner News

Inthira Saisun was five months pregnant, in debt, and selling vegetables in a Kamphaeng Phet market when an elderly stranger appeared in a dream and told her to buy the number 173770 — on the condition that she make merit if it won. The next day a lottery seller walked past her stall carrying two tickets ending in 770. She could afford one. On 1 June 2026 that single slip took the first prize: six million baht. The pair would have paid twelve. By three that afternoon she was giving her vegetables away for free.

The most shared lottery photograph of the year shows a man who had already renounced money. Phra Khru Amnuay, a monk at a forest temple in Waeng Noi district, Khon Kaen, was pictured beside a car holding a matched pair of tickets numbered 107387 — the first prize in the draw of 16 May 2026, worth twelve million baht for the two. He then did what most big Thai winners do before anything else: took the tickets to the local police station to have them entered in the daily record. Online, the reaction was simply “sathu”.

On 1 March 2026 a 42-year-old interpreter from Wiang Kaen district in Chiang Rai was holding ten government lottery tickets printed with the same six digits — 820866 — and every one of them matched the first prize. The payout came to 60 million baht, one of the largest single-winner totals of the year. The number was not a dream or a prophecy: the last two digits were his late father’s age. He had played them for a few draws, given up, then tried once more. Photographs from the handover show bundles of cash stacked on a folding table outside his house.
