The winning numbers for the third Aung Bar Lay state lottery have been announced, and a four-year-old kid has come forward to claim her prize. Yep you read that right: a four-year-old.
While technically it was her parents who paid for the golden ticket, the numbers were picked out entirely by four-year-old Htoo Thaddar Aung, who lives in Taunggyi with her family.
“Her dad wanted one set of numbers, and she wanted another. He let her have her way, and they won,” an employee at the lottery shop where the winning ticket was sold told Kumudra. Apparently the father-daughter duo buys a lottery ticket every month.
Thanks to Htoo Thaddar Aung sticking with her gut, she and her family are now MMK1 billion richer. Family members also told Kumudra that they play on going around Taunggyi and Mandalay with lottery trucks later today to publicize (*cough* brag about *cough cough*) their winnings.
It doesn’t sound like the smartest thing to do to publicly announce that you’ll soon be coming into a lot of money, but then again, we’re sure they can afford a good home security system with some of that billion.
