Ho Chi Minh City man wins nearly 345 billion VND in Vietlott, "breaking the record" of Vietnam lottery!

Shocking the lottery world! A man in Ho Chi Minh City just won nearly 345 billion VND in Vietlott, the biggest prize ever. Shocked netizens! Lucky to change his life after just one number selection!

July 12, 2025 will be a memorable milestone in the history of the Vietnamese lottery industry, when the Vietnam Computerized Lottery Company (Vietlott) officially confirmed that a player won the Jackpot 1 prize of the Power 6/55 type with a total prize value of up to 344.6 billion VND, the highest number ever.

The lucky ticket was issued at a point of sale in Ho Chi Minh City. According to the announcement from Vietlott, the winning ticket was from the 1041st drawing of the Power 6/55 product, with the lucky numbers 03 – 20 – 27 – 30 – 33 – 36, and the special number (Power Number) is 39.

Notably, this is the first time in more than 2 years that someone has won the Jackpot 1 prize of Power 6/55, a type of lottery that is famous for its extremely low winning probability and the prize value is continuously accumulated through each drawing without a winner.

According to Vietlott, the winner is a middle-aged man living in Ho Chi Minh City. The specific identity has not been announced due to security reasons, however, the unit confirmed that the player had exchanged and completed the procedures to confirm the winning on July 12 at the Vietlott Ho Chi Minh City Branch.

This man said he often bought Vietlott lottery tickets as a form of entertainment and hoped to "change his life". He bought the tickets by choosing numbers himself, and had absolutely no idea that the numbers he chose that day were the ones that won the record prize.

According to Vietnamese law, lottery prizes of over 10 million VND are subject to 10% personal income tax. Thus, with nearly 345 billion VND, the winner will have to pay about 34.4 billion VND in taxes, and the actual amount received after tax is about 310 billion VND, a huge number, enough to completely change anyone's life.

This is also the first time in the history of Vietnam lottery that an individual has won a prize worth over 300 billion VND after tax. Previously, the old record belonged to a person who won Jackpot 1 Vietlott worth over 303 billion VND in 2018.

Vietlott representative said that the winner requested to keep his identity confidential, and only agreed to appear wearing a mask, sunglasses and a hat during the prize receiving ceremony. This is a common request from customers who win large prizes, to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.

The winner said that he will deposit a large portion of his fortune in the bank to preserve it, and use the rest to support his family, contribute to charity, and invest in long-term business. "I still want to live a normal life, without showing off. This is a gift from life, and I want to use it meaningfully," he said at the award ceremony.

This record-breaking lottery event immediately created a wave of attention on social networks. Many people were surprised that the prize could be up to hundreds of billions of VND from just a 10,000 VND ticket. Many people also shared that they would try their luck in the next draws.

Financial experts say that winning such a large sum is not only a matter of luck but also a great responsibility. Winners need professional financial advice to properly manage their assets, avoiding risks, wasteful spending or family conflicts as in many cases of large lottery wins that have occurred abroad.

Since its launch in 2016, Vietlott has become one of the most popular lottery forms in Vietnam thanks to its transparency, attractive prizes and the ability to proactively choose numbers. With more than 11,000 points of sale nationwide, Vietlott has continuously recorded growth in both revenue and number of players.

The fact that someone won the prize of nearly 345 billion VND is not only a joy for the winner but also affirms Vietlott's position in the lottery market. This could be a turning point to help the unit attract more players, especially at a time when the market is increasingly competitive.
