A woman‘s luck continued to soar after she won a substantial lottery prize immediately following a traditional Thai ritual to boost fortune. The 32 year old Thai lottery winner returned to the temple to give thanks and participated in the ritual again, hoping for a repeat of her recent windfall.

The temple at Wat Song Sawei, also known as Wat Ai Som Chun, in Wat Sing district of Chai Nat province, became a buzzing hub of activity. Daily, thousands of lottery enthusiasts and the general public flock to the temple, seeking blessings from the revered monk, Phra Khru Palad Suwatthanaphromviharkun, commonly known as Phra Ajarn Ohm, the abbot of Wat Song Sawei.

The temple is well-known for its practice of jerm meu, a ritual believed to boost luck and fulfil aspirations, following the teachings of Luang Pu Kloy, a respected figure in the region.

This rising trend of seeking blessings is attributed to numerous reports of people achieving their desires after participating in the ritual. Many believers attribute their sudden financial gains and strokes of luck to the power of the ritual.

Sakuna Saiyu, for instance, had her life transformed after her previous visit to the temple. Upon completing the ritual, she purchased a lottery ticket and won a considerable sum, with her prize amounting to hundreds of thousands of baht.

In gratitude and as part of her vow, Sakuna brought a large electric motorcycle to the temple as an offering. She participated in the ritual once more, with hopes of replicating her prior success, reported Sanook.

Afterwards, she did not miss the opportunity to draw a number, 659, from the temple’s lottery charm container, sparking a flurry of excitement among the lottery community. Many noted down the number, eager to try their luck in the next draw scheduled for tomorrow.
