The first Vietlott billionaire recounted the horror of revealing his identity, stating the rumor of being hired to win the lottery

The man from Tra Vinh is considered the first Vietlott billionaire in Vietnam. After receiving 92 billion VND, his family's life changed a lot. Previously, he spoke out about rumors of being hired to pose as a lottery winner.

In October 2016, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Thai (from Tra Vinh) received news that he became a billionaire overnight thanks to winning Vietlott. When he discovered that he had won the lottery, Mr. Thai was still vaguely daring to believe it. It wasn't until contacting the lottery company that received the prize that they realized it was true.

After receiving 92 billion VND from Vietlott, Mr. Thai deposited it in the bank, only withdrawing to use it. Every year he will withdraw about 2-3 billion dong for consumption.

The news that Mr. Thai won the lottery quickly spread throughout the region. At that time, both Tra Vinh and Vinh Long knew. Some people even rumored that his house was hired by the company to pretend to win the lottery for 10 billion VND. Another suggestion is that this is not true, because it is a ghost lottery.

After receiving the money, Mr. Thai built a house, spent about 4 billion VND, traveling with his family here and there. In the past, he worked as a pig butcher, worked hard all night until 1-2 pm before taking a break. But now this man just stays at home to take care of plants, take care of some animals, and enjoy his old age. After that "historic" day, Mr. Thai increased from 68kg to 79kg.

Having money, Mr. Thai rests but still invests in his children's business. His children opened noodle shops, others opened grilled spring rolls. He and his wife bought a strip of land near the house to build a room for rent. In addition, each child of the "first Vietlott billionaire" was also built by his father for a spacious house. The rest is deposited in the bank. Bank interest and house rent help Mr. Thai earn about 100 million VND/month, enough for him to spend and shop freely.

Mr. Thai always tells his children that even if they win the lottery, they still have to have their own profession, not to give up because "no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it".

Recalling the day he won the prize, Mr. Thai's family had to live in fear for many months. For more than 2 months, people from all over the world came here to ask for money. He couldn't even go home for the first few days because there were too many people gathered.

"They stood tight from the market to the door of the house, the car could not get in. At that time, 300-500 people came every day, so we had to ask the police to keep the house. Even the next morning when we heard the news. We won a big prize they came even though I haven't received the money yet, the whole family must have only 100,000 VND in pocket.

When I first received the award, I found it too messy to come here, so I went to Lam Dong to stay temporarily. I told the children to stay at home to give people money and then it took almost a month to return home. By the time I returned, it was normal. At that time, there were only about a dozen people coming to ask for money, much lower than before. By now, it's all over," said Mr. Thai.

The man who received the 92-billion-year prize still declared: "I'm just afraid of thugs coming from far away, but I can handle it here, I'm a pig slaughterer, it's not trivial. I just don't dare to sleep at home because The houses were uncertain at that time, but there were too many people coming."

In contrast to Mr. Thai, many cases of winning the lottery did not have a happy ending.

Finally, after just over a year, his family's villa also had to be sold to pay off the debt, the whole family had to move out. Mr. Hoa was mentally unstable, addicted to alcohol and wandered around begging for food all day.

Once she accidentally bought a lottery ticket, she won a jackpot worth 100 million dong. That amount was very large in 2003. Lam was tasked by his mother to receive the reward. But when he returned, the son sadly announced that the ticket had been lost, maybe his mother looked at it wrong. It is worth mentioning that after that, the lottery ticket seller brought out a notebook to record the correct sequence of winning numbers that were sold to Mrs. Mai.

Under pressure from family and neighbors, Lam returned the lottery ticket to his mother, admitting his intention to appropriate his winnings. Despite being encouraged and forgiven, this guy was embarrassed, so he went missing and hasn't contacted his family since then.
