When Your Bananas Come Up

If you're headed for gorgeous Phuket soon, make a special trip to the small island of Koh Sireh, divided from Phuket only by a small water street. There's a miracle going on there in the form of a lucky banana tree that predicts winning lottery numbers.

Don't believe us? Well, reports say that many people have had success with this method: "They rub a mixture of powder and water on the tree's trunk, then wait to see what number the solution resembles as it dries."

The real winner, however, seems to be the local entrepreneur whose set up a drink stall nearby and says she sells soft drink to a couple of hundred visitors a day. Her numbers have definitely come up.
