webfact Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Maths teacher who lost 80K a month on the lottery gave up - now she says she's "won the lottery!" Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath went to investigate after an amusing online post from a female Thai teacher who said she felt she had won the lottery after giving up her addiction. Araya, 52, a mathematics teacher at Roi-Et Withayalai in Thailand's north east for 30 years said that three years after quitting playing the lottery she has built a house, has three rai of land and will soon be getting a Mercedes Benz. Her online post garnered much attention because she pictured herself surrounded by thousands of losing tickets from playing the lottery for three years. In that time Araya only won small prizes related to getting the last two or three digits right. She said that she spent 30-40,000 baht a time, twice a month on the lottery. She said that she got the money by doing after hours special tutoring. Now three years after quitting she recognises that she has finally "won the lottery".

Luckily I've never been addicted – spend equivalent to $2 a week to win $1,000,000 or (much) more, depending of jackpot – so now I have about $100 a year to play the stock market instead...????

Will she pay cash for that ?, i'd be interested to know how much she owes in loans, land, house, car. Que the teachers unable to pay back their loans. I sure wouldn't want her to teach kids of mine.
