The news program recaps the case, confirming Auntie Khayan's win and Lung Det's confession. It details his admission of hiding the ticket and then burning it due to greed after the news broke.

The confession about burning the ticket raises further questions: if it was truly burned, how will Auntie Khayan claim her prize? The location of the burning is investigated.

Reporters visit the site where Lung Det claims to have burned the 6 million baht lottery ticket, located in a rice field.

Lung Det reiterates his apology and explains he burned the ticket to escape responsibility after it became a major news story. He claims he acted alone.

Police identify the burning site in a rice field approximately 3.2 km from Lung Det and Paa Waen's home. Villagers gather at the scene.

Lung Det apologizes to everyone, stating he didn't coordinate with anyone, including his wife. He mentions feeling pressured.

Lung Det explains he burned the ticket in his own rice paddy or a relative's paddy, and had visited a temple beforehand.

Lung Det reveals he prayed at a temple before burning the ticket, asking for the matter not to reach him.

Lung Det explains he chose to burn the ticket due to significant pressure, including from the police, and felt he couldn't return it.

Lung Det believed burning the ticket would resolve the issue and prevent him from being implicated.

The timeline of events is discussed, including Lung Det's visit to the temple around June 6th or 7th and the subsequent burning of the ticket.

Police obtained mobile phones from both Paa Waen and Lung Det, allowing them to review call history and data, which provided crucial evidence.

The phone data revealed whether the lottery numbers were searched for using Google, contradicting the couple's initial claims.

Legal proceedings are discussed, with Lung Det facing charges of theft. The police are gathering further evidence to determine the next steps.

Police Colonel Nikom Phrompiram, Superintendent of Swankhalok Police Station, comments on the case, confirming Lung Det's confession and the destruction of the ticket.

The police plan to search for the destroyed lottery ticket, acknowledging the difficulty due to the claim it was burned.

Lung Det insists he acted alone in taking and burning the ticket, and that his wife was unaware.

The police are continuing to gather evidence and interrogate Lung Det and his wife to clarify the sequence of events and ascertain Paa Waen's involvement.

Paa Waen's account is presented, where she admits to checking the lottery but denies it was a winning ticket. She claims Lung Det kept the winning ticket and gave her two others.

Lung Det knew the ticket was with his wife the night before but didn't act until the morning when Auntie Khayan arrived to check.

Lung Det took advantage of the moment Auntie Khayan was checking the tickets to quickly claim he had checked them and they were not winners.

Lung Det kept the winning ticket for himself and gave Auntie Khayan two other tickets.

It's unclear if the burning occurred after a TV appearance, but Lung Det claims he burned it to avoid consequences.

The extent of Paa Waen's knowledge about the burning is still under investigation, with her consistently denying involvement.

The police are now certain that Auntie Khayan's lottery ticket was indeed a winning ticket.

Lung Det's confession to burning the ticket is confirmed, while his wife, Paa Waen, continues to deny any knowledge or involvement.

Paa Waen was questioned by police and reiterated that she knew nothing about her husband taking or burning Auntie Khayan's lottery ticket.

Paa Waen insists she had no prior knowledge of her husband's actions regarding the lottery ticket.

Questions are raised about Lung Det's financial situation, with Paa Waen stating he had no financial problems.

The verification of the winning ticket on June 1st is discussed, with Paa Waen maintaining her husband did not check it for a win.

The legal process involves gathering further evidence to determine the status of those involved and proceed with charges related to property offenses.

Lung Det is initially charged with theft.

Before Lung Det's confession, police and media visited the couple's home, which was found closed and quiet.

A neighbor, who runs a grocery store, stated she saw police talking to Paa Waen briefly but provided no further information.

Reporters tried to ask if Lung Det and Paa Waen had returned home the previous night, but Paa Waen deflected the questions.

Lung Det and Paa Waen appeared normal, not showing signs of distress or attempting to flee.

After inquiring with locals, reporters learned the couple was at Lung Det's father's house, about 150 meters away.

Lung Det's father confirmed he helped check the lottery for Auntie Khayan, but stated the results were not winning numbers and all tickets were returned.

Lung Det's confession came in the afternoon, after the results of the mobile phone analysis were revealed.

Police plan to further interrogate Lung Det and his wife to confirm Paa Waen's lack of involvement.

A reporter provides a live update from the rice field where Lung Det claims to have burned the lottery ticket.

Investigators from the forensic unit are examining the fire site, noting that rain has reduced the amount of ash.

The forensic team will analyze the ash to determine if it contains remnants of the lottery ticket paper, which has a unique texture.

Police Superintendent Nikom Phrompiram discusses the ongoing investigation at the burning site.

The Superintendent states they are awaiting the forensic team's findings to confirm if lottery ticket fragments are present.

The presence of branches covering the fire site suggests an attempt to conceal the burning.

Lung Det claims he burned the ticket around June 6th, and the subsequent rain has affected the evidence.

The report revisits Lung Det's confession, emphasizing that it was prompted by scientific evidence and eyewitness accounts from June 1st.

An eyewitness account from June 1st, where Paa Waen allegedly checked the ticket and found it to be a winner, is highlighted as a key factor.

The evidence, including the eyewitness account and forensic analysis, strongly suggests the ticket was a genuine winner and was in the possession of the couple.

The police currently believe Lung Det acted alone, but are continuing to investigate Paa Waen's potential involvement.

The Superintendent expresses concern about whether the evidence will be sufficient for Auntie Khayan to claim the prize money.

If the confession and evidence of burning are confirmed, there may be a process to allow Auntie Khayan to claim her winnings from the lottery board.

Police Superintendent Nikom Phrompiram has been actively involved in the investigation, overseeing interrogations and evidence collection.

Forensic teams have collected samples of ash and burnt wood from the site for further analysis.

The burning site is located in a rice field, about 200 meters from Lung Det's temporary shelter (tiang na).

Lung Det decided to burn the ticket, believing it would end the matter and prevent him from being identified as the perpetrator.

The ticket was burned around June 6th, after Lung Det prayed at a temple, seeking a resolution where he wouldn't be implicated.

Auntie Khayan had also prayed at the same temple, asking for the truth to be revealed.

The events of the day have brought the truth to light, fulfilling Auntie Khayan's prayer.

The report concludes with a summary of the evidence collected and the ongoing investigation in Sukhothai.

The segment ends with the hope that Auntie Khayan will be able to claim her 6 million baht prize.
