Sittra said they would also file a complaint against the female lottery vendor identified only as Rattanaporn for selling overpriced lottery tickets. In addition, they would request an inquiry into whether her suppliers had sold her overpriced tickets, an offence which could lead to them being prohibited by the Government Lottery Office (GLO) to sell lottery tickets again, Sittra said. Preecha claimed the woman had the first-prize ticket stubs to back his claim. Sittra said Charoon’s family was not in hurry to use the remaining Bt20 million that had been frozen in a bank account by order of the police. Police have been investigating who is the rightful owner of the winning tickets since Preecha publicly announced they were his and filed a complaint against Charoon last week, despite Charoon having already claimed the winnings from the GLO.
