It’s not a secret that Thais love to try their luck by playing the lottery, and Uthai Kaensupa, a Thai man living in the U.S., was able to cash in on some luck when he won USD5 million (THB166 million) from a scratch-off ticket on Thursday.
Uthai, who buys lottery tickets regularly, didn’t expect an epic win when he bought a Platinum Payout scratch-off ticket from a gas station in Los Angeles, he told Siam Town US on Saturday.
Uthai, who currently lives with his sister, said he’ll use the money to buy his own house, adding that he doesn’t wish to live in a mansion, but an affordable home so the money will last his wife and children for a long time.
Refusing to reveal what he will do with the rest of the money, Uthai said that he wishes to keep his life private and will not speak to another media outlet after the brief interview with Siam Town US.
