On September 30, 2069, reporters at Kham Chanot Island in Udon Thani reported that a water snake had dropped into the holy pond and a male‑female pair of king cobras, forced out by floodwaters, had moved to the grass beside the Naga Palace gate. Tourists came to pay respects to the Naga King and Queen, while lottery fans noted the snake appearances as lucky signs, interpreting a single snake as the number 7 and deriving 70 and 71 from it. At the island’s entrance, locals saw two large king cobras settling in the reeds, prompting officials to post warning signs. At the offering pavilion, participants consulted a holy‑water basin and saw the number 84, while incense‑sticks gave the number 408. They also pointed to the numbers 8‑6‑9‑7 from a recent ceremony performed by the temple’s senior monk, saying these combinations could be paired for the upcoming October 1 lottery draw.
