Lottery Vendor Wins 60 Million Baht Jackpot with Unsold Tickets
A lottery vendor from Loei province became an instant multi-millionaire after discovering that 10 unsold tickets in his possession won the first prize.
On October 1, 2026, a 34-year-old lottery vendor from Wang Saphung District, Loei, experienced a life-changing event while working in Yasothon province. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the vendor found that a set of 10 lottery tickets he had been unable to sell were the winning numbers for the first prize, totaling 60 million baht.
Following the discovery, the vendor visited the Yasothon City Police Station to file an official report. This step serves as legal documentation to confirm his ownership of the winning tickets before he proceeds with the prize collection process.
For residents and visitors in Thailand, the national lottery is a significant cultural phenomenon, often drawing widespread public interest during the bi-monthly draws. While this story highlights the rare and fortunate outcome of a vendor winning his own stock, it serves as a reminder of the lottery's central role in local social life. At this time, the vendor has secured his claim with local authorities, but the final processing of the prize money remains to be completed through the Government Lottery Office. No further details regarding his future plans or the specific winning numbers have been disclosed.
