Southern Vietnamese Lottery Player Strikes Jackpot With Entire Stack Purchase

A southern Vietnamese man has achieved a remarkable feat by winning prizes on every ticket in a complete lottery stack of 160 tickets, according to lottery authorities. The player's total winnings amount to VND39.2 billion, equivalent to approximately US$1.52 million before tax deductions.

The purchase of an entire lottery stack—a bulk bundle of consecutive numbered tickets—is a common practice among Vietnamese lottery players seeking to maximize their chances of winning. However, securing prizes across all tickets in such a purchase remains exceptionally rare.

Vietnamese state lotteries operate under government regulation and draw twice weekly, with various prize tiers distributed across different ticket combinations. The system attracts millions of participants nationwide, with tickets sold through authorized vendors in cities and rural areas alike.

Details regarding specific prize amounts for individual tickets were not immediately disclosed. Lottery winners in Vietnam are typically required to claim prizes within a defined timeframe and are subject to tax obligations on winnings above certain thresholds, depending on prize category.
