She said sold the lottery tickets to Ms Ratanaporn and other vendors because she had too many in stock. However, the investigation found that Ms Patcharida's claim about selling the tickets to Ms Ratanaporn lacked credibility. Moreover, clips of a phone conversation reviewed by the CSD suggested that Mr Preecha did not win the prizes. Mr Preecha filed a complaint with local police against Pol Lt Jaroon for embezzlement in December. Local police said they believed the tickets belonged to Mr Preecha, but the case was later transferred to the CSD.
