A Bangkok monk couldn’t help himself this morning when, in his excitement, he announced he had won the Thai lottery.

It was only after boasting he had trousered six-million baht on yesterday’s lottery draw that it was pointed out to him he was supposed to be avoiding, and refrain from, desire.

Instead Phra Prawit Techapalo, of Cheepakhao Temple in Samut Sakhon, admitted he bought many lottery tickets every month.

For merit he said he would spend some of the money buying his mother a house and use the rest to pay for his child’s education. Another desire he was meant to have been free of.
