Move Forward numbers in high demand from lottery players

21 Sept 00:36 Key points summarised by AI

The Move Forward Party's recent election victory has sparked a significant demand for lottery tickets featuring numbers associated with the party and its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat.
Highly sought-after numbers include 31 (the party's official number), 30 (Pita's anticipated 30th premiership), and 42 (Pita's age), with some vendors even adopting the party's orange color to attract buyers.
In stark contrast, lottery tickets bearing the number 22, linked to incumbent Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, are reportedly unpopular and difficult for vendors to sell.
Other numbers drawing interest from lottery buyers include 14 (the general election date) and 29 (the Pheu Thai Party's number, as they joined the coalition).
