Crowd Flocks to Holy Water Ritual at Kham Chanot Island, Lottery Sellers Stunned by Hot Numbers

On January 31, 2024, reporters at Kham Chanot Island in Ban Muang Subdistrict, Ban Dung District, Udon Thani Province, reported a typical day of tourist visits during the month-end holiday. At the ceremonial ground in front of Kham Chanot Island, tourists arrived to set up altars for votive offerings and seek good fortune. "Por Jam" of Kham Chanot performed a votive offering ceremony for local residents who had previously made a promise to return and give thanks after achieving success in business in Bangkok. Before sending holy water offerings, several numbers caught attention: 5-4-1-3 appeared in lucky incense numbers, with additional numbers like 211 and 112. Por Jam's home ritual revealed numbers 6-4-1-2, which lottery enthusiasts could combine into pairs like 64, 46, 12, and 21. At the lottery stalls near Kham Chanot Island, vendors reported that the number 985 sold out completely, with no clear explanation of its sudden popularity.
