RE: NOOOOOO. Not Another Temple Post!!!! - with video!

I just read 4 ways thai people attempted to win the lottery haha. Have you ever bought some of it? That blue shirt guy is definitely happy for the prospect hahaha

Last point. I get really embarrassed taking photos when there are people in shot so it's usually a very quick point and click but looking back after, I suddenly realise I get some really great, unguarded moments!

I am like that too! I get embarrassed taking pictures of people. I think it's invading someone's privacy or something hehe.

That speaks badly of my writing rather than your comprehension!

I dont buy tickets here but in Thailand, where all gambling is illegal, this is the only legal way to have a flutter and Thais go crazy for the lottery! Tickets are 80Baht each but the vendor will charge a minimum of 100Baht and even more if the numbers on the ticket are considered as being 'lucky! There is a whole industry of publications and websites to help you choose the 'correct' numbers. Numerology is huge!

You cant even choose exactly though, you have to pick the numbers that the lottery seller has in stock and the prizes are not great. As many people play the 'undergraound lottery' which is done online., is completely illegal and relies on a great deal of trust!

Have a great weekend Mac and next time you're here, have a flutter ;-)

hehehe correction, This is the article I was reading before I was reading yours

https://thethaiger.com/thai-life/10-ways-people-have-tried-to-win-the-thai-lottery

I find it interesting that you have this legal gambling but also illegal gambling :D. I wonder if there's anyone ever really win from this legal gambling attempt.

That article is spot on!!
Usually, you may read in the news or on Facebook that a couple won 2million and then next day, you'll read about the same couple getting divorced, trying to stab each other or one of them has run off with the money with the aggrieved party on the news crying and asking them to come home lol!

Winning a large amount never seems to end well here !!
