Woman cleared of 12 million baht lottery ticket theft accusation, plans defamation case

In Backed of household dynamics gone awry, a ninety three 12 months old woman accused her 53 yr previous granddaughter of stealing two winning government-issued lottery scratch playing cards price a total of 12 million baht (US$340,000). The case arose after an investigation by the Lottery Department, which included inspecting the unique stubs of three books of tickets. However, the department confirmed that not certainly one of the stubs matched the winning numbers.
Jee Chaowangyen originally reported her granddaughter-in-law, Saengthong, to officers at Nong Prue Police Station, Kanchanaburi. She claimed that Saengthong, who lived nearby, had stolen her lottery tickets that won the first-place prize in the lottery draw on May 2. Police summoned Saengthong, along with the lottery seller and others concerned in the incident, to give statements, and offered three ticket books for bought lottery tickets to the Lottery Department for inspection.
On June 27, Saengthong revealed that the police received a reply from the Lottery Department confirming that the three lottery stubs submitted for verification didn’t match the winning variety of the highest prize ticket. This confirmation vindicated Saengthong from accusations made by Jee, her mother-in-law, asserting that the theft claims have been unfounded, reported KhaoSod.
“I will lodge a complaint in opposition to mother-in-law Jee at the Nong Prue Police Station since her allegations have tarnished my reputation and brought on hardship,” Saengthong said. She added that because the news unfold, she had been ostracised by their group and faced fixed questioning about the alleged theft. Saengthong added…
“I have at all times maintained that I didn’t steal the profitable lottery ticket and have never even seen it.”
She added that neither Jee nor any relations have apologised for the false accusations. After the interview, Saengthong made a vow at a local shrine where she had beforehand sworn that she had not dedicated any wrongdoing. She will then proceed to lodge a defamation case towards Jee..
