Woman celebrates $130,000 lottery win with traditional dancers at Chinatown shrine

A woman celebrated winning $130,000 in the Toto New Year Draw by hiring traditional Thai dancers at the Erawan Shrine in Chinatown on January 9. This event attracted onlookers who took photos of the performance. The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed gratitude through the ceremony, a common practice among lottery winners. She plans to use part of her winnings to pay off her flat and donate to charity. She began playing the lottery five years ago and prayed at the Erawan Shrine after purchasing her tickets. The store manager noted that the shrine serves as a place for worshippers seeking wealth and solutions to work-related issues.
