In Thailand, 68 years old factory guard Sarayut Malahan distinguished himself by biting a huge python on the tail, after which he won a lot of money in the lottery. This is reported by “MIR 24” with reference to the local Thai TV channel 3PlusNews.

The security guard fell asleep at his workplace and was attacked by a huge reptile. When he woke up, he began to wrestle with the python, which only loosened its grip after the guard bit him on the tail.

Malahan told reporters that a recently felled tamarind tree, where a python probably lived, may have been the cause of the attack. He also suggested that the snake crawled to him not by chance, because before that he had eaten 10 snake eggs found near the tree.

The day after the incident, Malahan became the owner of three million baht (more than 80 thousand dollars) by buying 10 lottery tickets, some of which turned out to be winning ones.
