Lottery Season Approaches: Crowds Seek Luck from Kuman Khong at Khao Mai Daeng Temple, Spot Lucky Numbers for 1/12/25 Draw

Excitement builds as the lottery draw approaches, with people flocking to seek luck from 'Kuman Khong' at Khao Mai Daeng Temple in Chonburi Province. According to belief, 'lucky numbers' have appeared, prompting purchases of lottery tickets for the 1 Dec 2025 draw.

On 30 Nov 2025 at Khao Mai Daeng Temple in Bang Phra Subdistrict, Si Racha District, Chonburi Province, local devotees came in succession to pay respects and request lucky numbers from “Kuman Khong,” the revered spirit child at the temple. This Kuman Khong, crafted by artisan Sangmongkol, is 16 inches wide and was created in 2020 by Luang Pho Sanga, the temple abbot. It is believed to be highly sacred and able to grant blessings. Most devotees come to seek lucky numbers to try their luck, and those who win often return with beer and toys as offerings of thanks.

Visitors to the temple often ask 9-year-old Auan, a temple boy at Khao Mai Daeng, to select ping-pong balls that provide 'lucky numbers' for lottery betting. It is said that whenever Auan selects numbers, they tend to bring luck. This time, he picked numbers 2, 3, and 2. Meanwhile, the incense sticks revealed the numbers 7, 7, and 1. Those who receive these lucky numbers typically go to buy lottery tickets for the 1 Dec 2025 draw, following their personal beliefs.
