Golden crab in Phayao sparks lottery frenzy with lucky numbers
As the lottery draw approaches, a bizarre discovery in Phayao province has locals buzzing with excitement and hope for good fortune.
A golden crab, caught by a local fisherman, is believed to be a sign of luck, with mysterious numbers appearing on its belly.
Thet Wongseekaew, a resident of Ban Tam subdistrict, Mueang district, stumbled upon the rare golden crab while fishing in a nearby swamp.
Measuring 3.2cm long and 2.8cm wide, the golden-hued crab stood out among the usual catches, sparking curiosity and excitement in the community.
“It looked like a normal crab, but its golden colour was so unusual. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Thet brought the crab back to his home at No. 42, Village No. 8, where it quickly became a local sensation.
News of the golden crab spread like wildfire, drawing villagers eager to catch a glimpse of the mystical creature. What intrigued them the most were the black spots on its shell and underbelly, which seemed to form numbers. Many claimed to see three clear numbers: 632, 622, and 188.
“I believe it’s a sign of good luck,” Thet said, as he watched neighbours flock to his house, examining the crab’s underbelly and eagerly jotting down the numbers.
Some were convinced the numbers were a message from the divine, urging them to try their luck in the upcoming lottery.
Word of the lucky golden crab spread beyond the village, attracting people from neighbouring communities who believed the numbers could bring them wealth and fortune.
In Thailand, where mystical beliefs and lucky charms are deeply ingrained in the culture, such discoveries are often seen as auspicious signs.
Locals are now eagerly awaiting the lottery results, convinced that the golden crab’s numbers hold the key to riches.
Meanwhile, Thet continues to care for the crab, which remains healthy and active, as villagers visit daily, hoping to catch another glimpse of the lucky numbers, reported KhaoSod.
