Lottery enthusiasts excitedly search for "lucky numbers" at Kamchanod Island in Udon Thani Province, focusing on the "Giant Fig Tree" and "Father Cham's holy water bowl," hoping to win in the 16 September 2026 lottery draw.
On 16 September 2026, reports stated that at Kamchanod Island, Ban Muang Subdistrict, Ban Dung District, Udon Thani Province, on 15 September—close to the lottery draw date—visitors came to pay respects and pray to Grandfather Srisuttho and Grandmother Sripratumma. After worshipping at the shrine, they proceeded to an area believed by locals to be the treasure site of the grandparents, specifically near the hundred-year-old giant fig tree.
For those who enjoy gambling, the lottery day brought a chance to spot numbers at the termite mound by the fig tree. Many saw numbers such as 75, 57, and 55. Meanwhile, at the ritual ground in front of Kamchanod Island, a ceremony was held to ask for luck. After Father Cham Kamchanod completed the ritual, observers saw the number 750 in the holy water bowl. On the ritual table, incense sticks were lit to seek lucky numbers, revealing 186 or 136, though these were unclear.
For Kamchanod lottery fans still intrigued by Father Cham's holy water bowl from the previous draw, this time Father Cham was unwell but still performed the holy water bowl ritual at home on a Buddhist holy day. The candle wax drops formed numbers 0-8-7-4, which are considered personal beliefs. At lottery stalls near Kamchanod Island, popular numbers such as 50 and 05 sold out.
