Singer Yuki Hai Thong Kham amazed viewers by seeking blessings from temple spirits, claiming to receive three lottery numbers that perfectly matched her stated preferences. In the previous draw, while attending Pum Phuang's event, she obtained the two-digit number 48 exactly, which she attributed to a lucky star-patterned dress. The lottery program Huay Kra-Aeng Lottery Plus revealed footage of Yuki's experience, where the previous draw had brought her complete success. She posted asking, "48 hit perfectly last time! Wherever it hits, we'll follow... Will it come again this time?"

Yuki explained that at Wat Thap Kra Dan temple, when she reached into the lottery ticket container seeking the spirits' guidance, two numbers flowed into her hand. She drew them out, and they formed 48 exactly, which she played with the star-patterned dress combination and won substantially.

For the July 1, 2026 draw, Yuki stated she favored number 79 before requesting the spirits for two definitive numbers. During a video call to the temple at the show's conclusion, Yuki bowed respectfully before drawing. She reported feeling two numbers enter her hand but accidentally drew three. When opened, the three numbers were 179, shocking both Yuki and host Art because they contained the 79 she had mentioned liking. Art exclaimed that it matched exactly what she had said, prompting Yuki to express amazement. When Yuki apologized for drawing three instead of the requested two, Art joked that the spirits had given extra, saying "Last time two numbers, this time three, consider it a bonus, child."

Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old rising star for Spain, has expressed confidence in his ability to handle the pressure of competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As a key attacking player for the reigning European champions, Yamal faces mounting expectations both at club and country level.

His prominence at Barcelona since a young age, combined with wearing the club's prestigious number 10 shirt, has intensified the pressure he faces when playing for Spain. In recent comments, Yamal stated: "I understand that people focus on the most exciting positions. Pedri and Rodri are both excellent, but the pressure I have—being Barcelona's number 10, playing on the wing—I'm happy with it. Pressure comes when you can't do what they want, but I can."

Regarding his current fitness level, Yamal explained: "I'm doing very well and feeling great. I'm training with commitment and excitement for this moment. Right now I'm at about 80-90 percent and getting better. It's not declining. I'm ready for 90 minutes."

Spain will face Austria in the round of 32 at 02:00 AM Thai time on July 2.

On June 30, at 5:08 p.m., local authorities in Thung Nontri subdistrict, Khao Saming district, Trat province received reports of a serious assault. When officers arrived at the scene on Soi Nak Prasit in Moo 9, neither the victim nor the attacker were present. Security camera footage from a nearby residence captured the entire incident clearly. The incident began when a 61-year-old man, whose name is being withheld, started his first morning exercise walk. A 32-year-old man, known as Witwat or Mop (surname withheld), rode up on a Honda PCX motorcycle, engaged the victim in a brief verbal dispute that escalated into a physical fight. When the victim tried to grab a wooden stick to defend himself, Mop overpowered him and struck him repeatedly in the head with the stick until he collapsed. Despite neighbors' attempts to intervene, Mop continued the assault, beating the victim multiple times with a bamboo pole before fleeing on his motorcycle. Minutes later, Mop returned with a sidecar motorcycle, loaded the unconscious man onto it, and fled toward his durian orchard about 750 meters away.

When officers tracked him to the orchard, they found a pool of blood and two firearms—a pistol and a shotgun—placed together. However, there was no trace of the victim. Authorities suspected Mop had thrown the body into a pond at the rear of the orchard and called in divers to search. Police collected both firearms as evidence and launched a coordinated manhunt across neighboring subdistricts. Early reports indicated the sidecar involved in the attack had crashed into a garbage pile near the Tao Hone water reservoir in Huay Raeng subdistrict, Mueang district, but the vehicle was not found when officers checked the location.

The Government Lottery Office will conduct the July 1 drawing at its award announcement building in Nonthaburi's Mueang District. According to statistical analysis of the past 10 years of July 1 lottery results (2559-2568), the two-digit ending 83 has repeated multiple times, while 29 appears frequently and is considered an auspicious number.

A delivery rider has come forward to police to clear his name after his image circulated online in connection with a package delivered to a Thai airline flight attendant who was arrested in Australia on drug trafficking charges. Kittikorn (surname withheld), a courier for a delivery company, reported to Samrong North Police Station on June 30 to provide a statement and deny any involvement in the case.

The flight attendant became a suspect in an international drug smuggling investigation after Australian police detained her. The rider's image recently surfaced in connection with the delivery made to the air hostess at a condominium in Bang Na. After learning police were searching for the courier, Kittikorn immediately went to Samrong North Police Station to make a formal statement and declare his innocence.

Kittikorn stated he is a delivery company employee who came to police today to clear his name and deny any knowledge or involvement in the matter. He explained he was simply performing his regular job. On the day in question, he delivered over 100 packages, and this particular package was part of his normal route. He rode a motorcycle to deliver it as usual, placing it under the condominium building where the security guard received it—standard procedure for all his deliveries.

After completing the delivery, he continued delivering other packages elsewhere. He emphasized he earned no additional income from this delivery, only his regular company salary. He had been delivering to that recipient named "Meena" since June 23. He said he saw the CCTV footage in the news showing him making the delivery, which prompted him to come forward to prove his innocence.

He learned about the case when journalists came to his warehouse investigating who made the delivery. He confirmed he is a legitimate company employee performing his duties and has worked there for one year and two months. Normally this route belongs to a colleague who takes Tuesdays off, so Kittikorn covers it then. Most packages he delivers weigh nearly a kilogram each. He strongly denied any involvement, knowledge, or supplementary income from other sources, emphasizing he is merely a company employee. When he learned the flight attendant had been arrested, he grew anxious about being implicated, so he came to declare his innocence to Samrong North Police.

Meanwhile, Police Captain Wirojn Tatso, commander of Samrong Police Station, has assigned investigators to interview the rider and gather evidence regarding the package he presented, to trace the origin of the shipment through the private delivery company.

French national team coach Didier Deschamps praised Kylian Mbappé as a suitable captain for France and cautioned that facing Paraguay in the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 will not be easy.

France, the former runner-up, advanced to the final 16 after defeating Sweden 3-0 on June 30. Mbappé scored twice in the match at the 45th and 74th minutes, while Bradley Barcola added a goal at the 53rd minute. France will face Paraguay on July 4.

After the match, Deschamps praised Mbappé's performance, saying: "Kylian knows how to defend. He scores more than anyone. I told you from the start that he has a mission, even if you don't always hear me say it. Even in fitness training, he scores before anyone else."

"I've said for a long time that he understands the role of team captain. The image outsiders may have of him doesn't always reflect his true character—in fact, hardly ever."

The 57-year-old head coach also addressed the upcoming Paraguay clash: "If we maintain this level of focus and determination, we can go as far as possible. We need to do the same thing again in the coming days. Paraguay didn't reach this point by accident. You saw how well they played against Germany, and they have that South American DNA, which intensifies everything, especially in one-on-one duels. Now we'll celebrate this victory first, then focus on Paraguay."
