Delivery Driver Wins Two Major Lottery Prizes After Temple Blessing
A delivery driver in Nakhon Pathom won 80,000 baht on two lottery tickets after receiving a temple blessing, then purchased more tickets hoping for continued luck to buy a motorcycle for work.
On August 13, at Suwang Arom Temple in Khun Kaeo subdistrict, Nakhon Chai Si district, Nakhon Pathom province, multiple lottery enthusiasts came to seek blessings from the temple's sacred golden Buddha statue. Wirat, a 40-year-old online delivery driver, had stopped at the temple while making a delivery to a customer and was encouraged by temple staff to ask the Buddha for good fortune. He purchased flowers, incense, and candles, then lit a special auspicious incense stick and prayed for a motorcycle to use for deliveries. When the incense burned completely, the numbers 3-1-9 appeared, which he decided to use as his lottery ticket numbers, purchasing two tickets with those three digits. When the lottery was drawn, he discovered both tickets had won fourth prize, earning him 80,000 baht in total. Grateful for his good fortune, Wirat returned to the temple with offerings of red syrup drink, drinking water, and flowers to make a donation in thanks. He later lit another auspicious incense stick that produced the numbers 9-8-9 and purchased additional lottery tickets with those numbers, hoping for continued luck as he plans to buy a new motorcycle for his delivery business.
