A 58-year-old woman was sentenced to 9 months in prison for stealing 446 lottery tickets from a blind man in Bangkok.
The theft took place on 23, 26 and 27 November 2020 while the blind man was selling lottery tickets in Dindaeng District.
According to the Thai-language daily Khao Sod, the woman stole the tickets from Mr Taywa Pranasae as she talked to him about good lottery numbers that she was looking for.
