A lottery winner shot himself dead after he won more than $1.3 million but then lost his winning lottery tickets.

Jirawut Pongphan, 42, gathered family and friends to his house to celebrate winning a life-changing jackpot.

But he woke the next day to find his tickets gone, leaving him unable to claim his winnings.

Jirawut, from Chonburi province in eastern Thailand, had seven tickets with the winning numbers and thought he would be rich beyond his wildest dreams but his excitement was short-lived.

After almost becoming an overnight millionaire, Jirawut could not live with the sense of what he could have won.

He shot himself in the head leaving a suicide note saying: "I'm really sorry, please don't bully my family, I did win the lottery prize."

Jirawut bought seven tickets with the same numbers in the hope of maximizing his winnings.

He won the grand prize of 42,000,000 baht (US$1.3 million) in November last year.

But his excitement lasted for less than a day after his winning tickets mysteriously vanished.

Jirawut fell into a deep depression, his combination of stress and sadness leaving him unable to go to work.

On 31st January, Jirawut killed himself by placing a 9mm handgun to his left temple and pulling the trigger.

Thai police found Jirawut's body in his bedroom with his suicide lying next to him.

It is not known what happened to Jirawut's winning tickets and if anyone else came forward to claim the lottery winnings.

It is unclear if police are investigating whether or not the tickets were stolen.

dumbass got what he deserved

It be your own family.

No doubt someone took them shyts just to destroy em. Knowing fell well they couldn't cash it in themselves but they couldn't see homie with all that money either - even if he broke em off something they would still hate it.

That's how much some people don't want you to succeed.

After losing the tickets he was right back where he started. So why kill yaself?

Lost faith in this cruel, cold ass world


Sabotage by a friend or family member could do that to a person

 

[VertigoKnight]

but would people really bully the family?

In thai culture looking after family is mega important, so if this guy did win. Not only his family but the whole extended fam would have been living good. To almost have that and then not would lead to resentment.

He threw a celebration party before cashing the ticket?


And someone probably stole and destroyed the tickets. Don't underestimate the power of envy and hate.

This....real shyt

Should have kept it quiet low key then cashed the ticket... Someone stole that shyt like I told @lotteryplaya in that other thread.

RIP. His lifelong dream became a nightmare and he just couldn't live with that kind of loss for the rest of his life.

If he really did have the tickets and someone stole it, wouldn't it be easy to identify them when they come to claim the prize?

Depends on the rules of that country because some say bearer instrument aka whomever walks into the lottery office with the ticket is the winner. Even if they were in the lottery parking lot and hit the real winner over the head with a crowbar and stole his ticket. Fortunately most of the states in America act more careful for big wins and will ask you questions like when you bought the ticket, how much you spent and they may go retrieve the security cam footage from the store.
