Reports emerged that a foreign worker had won the first prize in the lottery, amounting to 12 million baht, at Ban Khok Na Klang, Village No. 4, Sukhaiphob Phatthana Subdistrict, Soeng Sang District,  Nakhon Ratchasima Province. The new millionaire is 23 year old Nat from  Cambodia, and her 42 year old partner Sripai from Thailand. Nat was the one who bought the lottery tickets.

Nat revealed she has legally worked in Thailand for eight years, initially as a corn picker and factory worker, and currently as a gardener in Ban Khok Na Klang. Four days before the lottery draw, she and her partner visited a local market in Nong Khae-Nong Toom, Sukhaiphob Phatthana Subdistrict.

At the market, she saw a lottery stall and decided to buy two tickets featuring the number 90, which she favoured. After purchasing the tickets, she went to pay homage at the village shrine, known as San Pu Mong, a revered site where locals often seek blessings.
