Two lottery tickets were found in the forest with the name and phone number of their owner written on the back, leading to a social media frenzy. The discovery was made by a TikTok user who was foraging for mushrooms with a friend.

TikTok user @udomporn41 posted a video showing the lottery tickets, numbered 498471, for the August 1 draw. The friend who found the tickets was in the forest gathering mushrooms when they stumbled upon the tickets, neatly placed in an envelope. The back of the tickets bore the name and phone number of their owner.

“We were collecting mushrooms in the forest today, and my friend found these lottery tickets.”

They then decided to call the number provided on the back. The owner answered the call, confirming that they had lost the tickets two days ago. Arrangements were made for the owner to retrieve the tickets.

After the video was shared, it garnered significant attention and numerous comments. One woman commented that the lottery number matched her car’s registration number, adding that a snake had recently entered her car and had yet to leave.

The story quickly gained traction on social media, with many users intrigued by the coincidence and the events that followed. The TikTok post not only highlighted the honest actions of the finders but also sparked discussions about luck and fate among netizens.

Once the owner retrieved the tickets, the story continued to circulate online, with many users speculating about the outcome of the draw and whether the returned tickets would turn out to be winning ones, reported KhaoSod.

In related news, a TikTok user discovered an old lottery ticket that was thought to be rubbish, only to find it had won a prize after being checked one year later. The ticket, from the June 16, 2023 draw, held the number 628255 and won 4,000 baht.
