Noodle Vendor Wins 12 Million Baht Lottery Prize
Noodle vendor Grandma Ga from Ngao District, Lampang, won 12 million baht in the government lottery on September 16, claiming two winning tickets and plans to celebrate with free noodles for her community.
Excitement erupted in Ngao District, Lampang Province, when Supattra—known locally as Grandma Ga—a noodle vendor from Baan Mai Thani village, won the first prize in the government lottery draw on September 16, 2569, with ticket number 730640. She received two winning tickets totaling 12 million baht. The winner has announced plans to treat the community to free noodles, and has already traveled to Bangkok to collect her prize.
The win marks a remarkable coincidence in Ngao District. Exactly one year earlier, on September 16, 2568, another resident, Tammavitya from Ban Sop Plueng village, had won the first prize with ticket number 074646, claiming 6 million baht. Both winning numbers share similar digits, and both were drawn on the same date in different years, bringing the district's total lottery winnings over two years to more than 18 million baht.
The lottery ticket vendor who sold Grandma Ga's winning ticket is identified as Jenjira, who regularly sells tickets in the Ngao area, typically stationed near Wat Jong Kham temple in front of the Phra Chedi Puthakhaya pagoda, though she also travels through local villages. Residents are now seeking out her location, hoping to purchase tickets from her stall for the next draw.
