Notably, Mr. Manh chose to publicly reveal his identity and did not wear a mask when receiving the prize.
This is the largest prize winner to date who agreed to publicly reveal their identity at the award ceremony.
“I really won, so I’ll go public. I have been buying Vietlott tickets for 10 years and always hoped for a jackpot win so I could appear publicly without needing a mask. When I found out about the win, my wife and I were cleaning the house. I was very nervous, and the first person I told the good news was my wife,” Mr. Manh shared.
Mr. Manh said the lucky ticket was auto-selected by the machine, purchased for 70,000 VND at a sales point on Hung Vuong Street, Ho Chi Minh City.
According to the Personal Income Tax Law, winners must pay a 10% tax on the portion of the prize exceeding 10 million VND. After tax deductions, Mr. Manh will receive over 75.2 billion VND.
This is not the first time Mr. Manh has been lucky with Vietlott. He previously won the Power 6/55 first prize worth 40 million VND twice and the Mega 6/45 first prize worth 10 million VND twice.
Speaking at the award ceremony, Mr. Pham Quang Huy – Deputy General Director of Vietlott – said Mr. Manh is one of 9 large prize winners who chose to publicly reveal their identity.
According to Vietlott statistics, to date, over 780 customers have won large prizes without publicly revealing their identity.

On the evening of January 20, Vietlott confirmed that a customer had won the Jackpot 1 of the Power 6/55 product with a prize value of over 257 billion VND.
