Winning numbers: Villagers seek lottery luck from Phayao anthill
Villagers in Phayao province have flocked to a revered anthill believed to bring good fortune, hoping for a lucky start to the new year. The anthill, located in Mae Ka subdistrict, Mueang district, has previously provided accurate three-digit numbers to those seeking fortune.
The villagers gathered with offerings of flowers, incense, garlands, and colourful cloths, along with talcum powder, to pay their respects to the guardian spirit of the anthill, known locally as Phaya Chom Pluak. This site, situated by a road in Ban Mae Ka Luang, has become a focal point for those seeking lucky numbers. On this occasion, after paying their respects and applying powder to the anthill, the villagers reported seeing the numbers 886. Many quickly captured the moment with their mobile phones, eager to use these numbers for upcoming lottery draws.
The anthill, shaped like an inverted bell, is nestled in a banana grove by the roadside. It bears the marks of previous visits, with incense sticks left behind and traces of powder from those who came before. Such signs confirm the ongoing traditional practice of seeking luck and blessings at this location.
The anthill, respected as a guardian spirit’s dwelling, has a reputation for granting fortune. Past experiences have cemented its status among the local community as a reliable source of lottery numbers. With the upcoming lottery draw, villagers are hopeful that their finds will once again prove fortuitous, bringing them luck and prosperity in the new year, reported KhaoSod.
“The numbers appeared so clearly, it felt like a sign,” shared one of the villagers, reflecting the collective anticipation of a lucky outcome. The belief in the anthill’s power to bestow fortune is deeply ingrained in the local culture, with many attesting to its previous successes.
