Darong, the lucky winner from Ratchaburi Province, said he bought three tickets but only two won. He answered the phone in confusion, and when Not called, he was shocked and couldn’t believe it was real, noting he always buys tickets with his car license plate number 5781. He repeatedly asked Not, 'Is this really true?' Darong remained bewildered and did not think he would be the winner, though he said he would prefer to receive the money quietly so that many people would not know about it.

Meanwhile, Jai, the lucky winner from Ang Thong Province, said he had purchased nine tickets, two of which won. After Not called to inform him and congratulate him, Jai initially said he was busy because he had to go to work, but after learning he had won the first prize, he told Not, 'I won’t go to work tomorrow; I’ll wait to receive the money.'

In addition, Lottery Plus invited celebrity Jack Fan Chan to announce the prizes, and the mascot Jid Rid Yib Chok performed a cute, lively dance during the draw. Not also warned the public not to fall for scammers and emphasized that he does not operate any online gambling website.
