On July 15, Kiang Krai Chuy Raksok, a 16-year-old from Tambon Sam Ruen in Mueang District, Ratchaburi, found a large six-legged turtle weighing 23 kilograms walking along a roadside. Concerned it would be struck by a vehicle while he was returning from herding cattle, he brought it home to safety. When news spread, villagers gathered out of curiosity and sprinkled powder on the turtle's shell to search for hidden lottery numbers. Some residents spotted patterns resembling sacred Buddhist imagery and the numbers 32, while others saw 91 or 64 based on the turtle's unusual six-legged form. During the turtle's walk, it also stopped at a motorcycle parked nearby with license plate 482, which lottery enthusiasts quickly noted as potential lucky numbers.
Kiang Krai later researched and discovered the animal was a rare black six-legged turtle, a protected species. He contacted Khao Prab Chang Wildlife Breeding Station in Ratchaburi for inspection and care, as it is a protected wild animal that could face danger or illegal possession. The lottery numbers villagers identified to try their luck include 23, 32, 64, 91, and 482.
