The winner revealed he calmed down before visiting the police. Somjai has won the lottery 4 times in a row, this is his biggest win yet.
The next winner is a husband and wife who works at the local market in Trat Province.

Metta stated that a lottery seller was selling tickets near her market stall. She chose a ticket with the number 93 and prayed that if she won the first prize Metta would go live with her dad at home. She has always had a hard life while raising 2 children.
Metta was selling goods as usual when she heard someone say the winning ticket had the number 893. She took out her ticket and realized the number matched her ticket, then she turned to a friend and asked what the front 3 digits were but no one knew. Metta took out her phone and went into Google. As soon as she knew that she had just won 6 Million THB, Metta screamed out of happiness and shouted to everyone in the market her good news. Metta made a promise to her late mother, that she would return to live with her father in Sakhon Nakhon Province if she won the first prize. The money will be used to pay off debt and help fund her children’s education.
