Casket lid numbers bring lottery luck to Ang Thong

It has been noted that residents frequently win lotteries using numbers from casket lids, specifically two and three-digit numbers. These numbers originate from the date and time when the casket is completed, such as those finished yesterday, March 12.

The story delves into the origin of these casket lid numbers at a funeral service shop located at house number 173, Village 7, Saeng Ha subdistrict, Saeng Ha district, Ang Thong province.

The shop, owned by 39 year old Janram Yindee, specialises in beautifully crafted and decorated caskets. Janram reveals that locals often find luck by using these numbers in lotteries.

Janram explains that after decorating a casket, she prays for the deceased to receive it. The numbers inscribed on the casket lid originate from the date and time the casket was completed.

People have frequently won lotteries with these numbers, which sometimes correlate with the deceased’s age or the day of passing, reflecting individual beliefs. The most recent numbers noted on a finished casket are 57 and 642.

Additionally, the shop sells small casket-shaped containers for 899 baht, resembling piggy banks. Residents often purchase these for storing money to donate at funeral ceremonies.

The shop collects a portion of its earnings from casket sales, depositing it into these small caskets. Annually, the funds collected are used for charitable purposes during the Wai Khru ceremony. This practice serves as a reminder that only one’s merits accompany them after death.
