Chachoengsao Lottery Stall Celebrates Second First-Prize Winner in Under a Year
A lottery vendor in Chachoengsao has gained local attention after customers won the first prize twice in less than a year, totaling 30 million baht in winnings.
On September 1, 2026, following the government lottery draw, a lottery stall owner in Chachoengsao province, Mr. Kritsada Thongsri, reported that a customer had won the first prize. According to Khaosod Online, the winning ticket for the September 1 draw, number 417212, resulted in a 12-million-baht payout for a local food vendor.
This event marks the second time a customer has hit the first prize at Mr. Kritsada’s stall, "Looktao Paruay," located in Khlong Luang Phaeng, within the first year of its operation. The total prize money awarded to his customers across these two wins has reached 30 million baht. The news was initially shared via the stall's Facebook page, drawing significant attention and congratulations from the online community.
For residents and visitors in the Chachoengsao area, this story highlights the local excitement surrounding the government lottery, which remains a popular cultural activity in Thailand. While the stall has gained a reputation for being "lucky," it is important to note that lottery outcomes are entirely based on chance. There is no evidence to suggest any influence over the draw results. As of now, the identity of the winners remains private, and the stall continues its regular operations.
