"This money will be used for merit-making, as it comes from luck. Part of it will be used to repay household debts, including the rent for cassava fields. The rest will be saved for myself and my family."
เงินที่ได้นั้น จะนำไปทำบุญ เนื่องจากเป็นเงินที่ได้จากการเสี่ยงโชค และส่วนหนึ่ง จะนำมาใช้หนี้สินของบ้าน ทั้งค่าเช่าที่ปลูกมันสำปะหลัง ส่วนที่เหลือ จะเก็บเอาไว้ดูแลตัวเอง และครอบครัว
