A woman expresses her gratitude for a $130,000 Toto lottery win by hiring traditional Thai dancers to perform at the Erawan Shrine in Chinatown.
A lucky woman returned to the Erawan Shrine in a store at People's Park Centre in Chinatown to express her gratitude after winning $130,000 in the Toto New Year Draw. During a ceremony on Thursday (Jan 9), she prayed in front of the shrine and hired four traditional Thai dancers for a 10-minute performance, attracting several curious passers-by who took photos with their mobile phones.
The woman, who declined to give her name, said she arranged the dancers after learning it's a practice punters would do to give thanks after winning the lottery. Photos were also shared on the store's Facebook page, showing the dancers performing before the store's entrance surrounded by a small crowd. There were also photos of a shrine with a cheque worth more than $130,000. She first started buying lottery tickets five years ago on a whim or whenever there was a large prize up for grabs. After spending $10 for 10 Quick Pick tickets at a betting shop at People's Park Centre, she went downstairs to pray at the Erawan Shrine. 'When the lottery was drawn that day, I didn't believe at first, and I checked it again several times,' she told the Chinese daily. The woman added that she planned to use a portion of her winnings to pay off her flat and donate to charity. Speaking to Shin Min, the manager of the store said that their shrine is the same as Bangkok's famous Erawan Shrine. Besides praying for wealth, he added that worshippers would also come here when they face work-related problems
