“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.

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.
