CSD commander Pol Maj Gen Jirapop Phuridej said Nongyao allegedly forged the tickets by cutting and pasting figures form other tickets and printing a QR code and pasting it onto the forged tickets. But the gang has beat the system by successfully printing a fake QR code to paste on the forged tickets. Jirapop said the forged tickets were very subtle and each ticket took about two hours to be forged. The five men used two fake second prize tickets and four fake fourth prize tickets to sell to lottery vendors in Kanchanaburi and earned some Bt560,000. Some lottery vendors also bought winning tickets for a 3 per cent discount.
