The man, who police named only as “Mr Srinuai”, presented his two winning tickets at Thalang Police Station last night (Nov 16)
Mr Srinual, a resident of Moo 4, Thepkrasattri, said he bought the tickets from a government lottery ticket vendor across the road from Thalang Police Station at about 10am last Sunday (Nov 13).
He bought two tickets with the number 121789, which won the first prize in the national lottery draw yesterday.
Mr Srinuai said he came to the police station to record that he was the holder of the tickets.
Pol Lt Pongpipat Khamchomphu recorded the possession of the tickets in the police log.
Mr Sinuai, though still very composed, was very happy with his good fortune. A friend posted online that Mr Srinuai was facing his house being foreclosed on.
