Thai taxi driver wins lottery, gives passengers free ride and cash

A Thai taxi driver promised to offer a free ride plus 200 baht in cash to three passengers if he won a lottery ticket. Guess what? Yes, he indeed won it.
A Thai woman shared a video on her TikTok account, @featployda, on Sunday, April 20, capturing the moment she, her friends, and the taxi driver awaited the lottery results inside his cab. The video was described…
“Unexpected story #Lottery #WinningLottery #FYP”
In the video, the driver is heard shouting the winning number, 687, while the three passengers cheered in excitement. The caption further explained…
“Guys, this taxi driver won a lottery ticket! My friends and I got a free ride and 200 baht in cash from him! We were hoping he’d win. He told us as soon as we got in the cab that he’d give us a free ride if he won the lottery. Who would believe this is real? Lol.”
The video quickly went viral among Thai TikTok users, with many calling the woman a lucky girl and a good luck charm for the taxi driver. Comments included…

“You’re the real lucky girl, not like that ‘lucky girl syndrome’ that was trending recently.”
“You’re such a lucky charm for the taxi driver!”
“He may adopt you as his daughter soon!”
“Hey! Keep your hands on the wheel! Haha.”
“I wonder how much the driver actually won.”

The TikToker did not specify the amount the taxi driver received. If he bought a government lottery ticket, the prize for matching a three-digit number would typically be 4,000 baht per ticket.
However, he may have earned more if the ticket was purchased through an underground lottery, where payouts vary and participation is discouraged due to safety and legality concerns.

The TikTok user also revealed that this was not the first time the driver had won the lottery. He had previously offered a free ride after a previous win, making this his second known lottery-related act of generosity.
