Move Forward party election numbers in high demand from lottery players

The Move Forward Party's recent election victory has triggered a significant surge in demand for lottery tickets bearing numbers associated with the party and its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat.
Highly popular numbers include the party's official number (31), Pita's potential 30th premiership, his age (42), and the general election date (14).
Lottery vendors note that numbers linked to the incumbent party (e.g., 22) are largely unwanted, while the Move Forward Party's orange color also attracts buyers.
Despite the specific number frenzy, overall lottery sales are not exceptionally high due to parents prioritizing expenses for the upcoming school semester.
