The reason why two Vietlott jackpot winners did not wear masks when receiving their prizes

(NLDO) – The two winning Lotto 5/35 tickets were purchased over the phone, so according to regulations, Vietlott's Headquarters in Hanoi organized the award ceremony.

On the afternoon of July 15 in Hanoi , Vietnam Computerized Lottery Company (Vietlott) organized a prize awarding ceremony for two customers who won the highest prize of Lotto 5/35 product. Notably, the two people who received the Vietlott jackpot prize did not wear masks. Among them, Mr. Do Quoc Dung in Dong Nai won a prize worth nearly 10 billion VND, and Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung won nearly 6.4 billion VND.

Why didn't the two Vietlott jackpot winners wear masks?

Vietlott said that according to the law, Vietlott lottery winners have the right to choose whether to reveal their identity or keep it secret. At the award ceremony on the afternoon of July 15, the two jackpot winners voluntarily revealed their identities and did not wear masks when receiving their prizes.

In addition, since both winning tickets were purchased by phone, according to internal regulations, Vietlott Head Office is responsible for organizing the award ceremony. Therefore, Vietlott invited the remaining winner in Dong Nai to Hanoi to receive the prize with the winner in Hanoi.

Received money and believed I won the lottery

Speaking at the award ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung said he bought a Lotto 5/35 ticket during his break from working overtime. Previously, he had only won the highest Vietlott lottery ticket of 30,000 VND. Therefore, when Vietlott informed him that he had won nearly 6.4 billion VND, he thought that someone was calling to scam him. Only when he received a text message informing him that the Lotto 5/35 jackpot prize had been deposited into his bank account did he become sure that he had actually won the prize.

As for Mr. Do Quoc Dung, as soon as he received the winning information, he called the Vietlott hotline to check and was confirmed to have won the Lotto 5/35 jackpot worth nearly 10 billion VND. He shared that he was very lucky to win nearly 10 billion VND and would think about how to use the prize money appropriately.

Lotto 5/35 is a computerized lottery product that Vietlott has been operating since June 29. This type of lottery has a total of 7 prize categories, in which the jackpot prize has a starting value of 6 billion VND and will continue to accumulate through the drawing periods if there is no winning ticket.

The new highlight of this product is that when the cumulative jackpot reaches 12 billion VND and there is still no winning ticket, Vietlott will divide the prize in the drawing at 9:00 p.m. the next day. This form of prize division applies to winning tickets of the remaining prize categories (except for the consolation prize), issued in the same drawing period.
