The winning numbers, announced by the Government Lottery Office, were 199606 for the first prize, with additional prizes for 3-digit numbers 173, 220, 094, 388, and 2-digit number 94.

Among the excited winners was Jirasak ‘Ton’ Saewun, who held five first-prize tickets, winning him a total of B30 million.

On learning of his win, Mr Jirasak celebrated loudly at home before promptly filing a report at Phuket City Police Station.

The lucky numbers corresponded with the licence plate number ‘606’ of a car he had been consistently betting on. Mr Jirasak has since travelled to Bangkok to claim his prize money.
