A Tai Yai man named Uncle Kam got lucky buying leftover lottery tickets from a vendor at Mae Malai Market and won two first-prize tickets worth 12 million baht on September 16, 2025. According to a post by Wanleeya Wongsuwan, a lottery seller named Nong Phai had set up a stall near a building supplies shop close to Mae Malai Market in Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai, and was selling four sets of remaining tickets with numbers 730640, 364931, 910424, and 774361.
