Thai couple: Won Facebook lottery, seller denies.

Another news story about someone who bought a lottery ticket, found out they won the jackpot but couldn't claim the prize, leaving them watching their winnings slip away! It must bring a strange sense of "mixed happiness" for those of us who never have a chance to win big (?).

In Uthai Thani Province, Thailand, a couple purchased five lottery tickets on a Facebook fan page called ""Xing Xing Lottery"" on September 23rd. They used a cash-on-delivery method for the purchase and have evidence of chat transactions between both parties. According to their account, the cost of these five lottery tickets was 720 Thai Baht, and at the time of purchase, the tickets were still with the lottery seller and had not been delivered to them.

However, on October 1st, the day of the drawing, they learned that they had won the jackpot of 30 million Thai Baht. Immediately, they contacted the lottery seller through Facebook to request the delivery of their winning lottery tickets. To their great disappointment, the seller claimed that the buyers had never responded to them and that they could not contact them. As a result, the seller refused to acknowledge the transaction. This response left the couple in disbelief, and they had to go to the local police station to file a report, hoping for a resolution.

After reading this, the first impression is why the couple, after making the online purchase, didn't immediately contact the seller when the lottery tickets weren't delivered. It's worth noting that it was a cash-on-delivery transaction, which implies that payment hadn't been made yet. So, it seems that if they hadn't won, the couple might have chosen to let it go as if they never purchased the tickets and hadn't made the payment.

Of course, this situation is not entirely the fault of the buyers. The seller also appears to be dishonest. Since there's evidence of a chat record confirming the buyer's intent, the seller should have acted honestly in their business dealings. It seems that the seller wanted to keep the money for themselves. However, considering the substantial amount of money involved, many people might be tempted to prioritize their financial gain over honesty, especially since the lottery tickets hadn't been paid for yet. In this incident, who do you think bears greater responsibility?

Is cash-on-delivery still possible?
