An update on the chaotic Sukhothai lottery case involves the missing first prize ticket number 173770. Ms. Saiyan Dokmai, known as "Aunt Kayan," from Pak Nam Subdistrict, Sawankhalok District, Sukhothai Province, filed a report stating she gave her lottery tickets to a neighbor for checking. The neighbor claimed to have found one winning first prize ticket and hugged her in celebration. The neighbor asked if she wanted to leave the ticket with her, and Ms. Saiyan agreed, not bringing the ticket back home. However, when she returned later, the neighbor said the ticket was no longer a winner and had been thrown away. Upon inspection, only two tickets were found in the trash, but the ticket believed to be the winning first prize was missing. Eventually, Mr. Dech confessed to taking the winning ticket from Aunt Kayan, claiming he had burned it during the time the case became widely known, as previously reported.
