After the US, the crew brought the film to the Australian market and many European and Asian countries. In addition to boosting revenue, the director said he wanted to promote the traditional mat weaving village in Lap Vo district, Dinh Yen commune, Dong Thap - the setting that appeared in the film. The producer spent billions to recreate the scene of the dyeing kiln and the mat drying yard, because he saw that the craft village was gradually disappearing.

On May 20, the film reached nearly 260 billion VND after more than three weeks in theaters, becoming the third highest-grossing Vietnamese film of all time, behind Mrs. Nu's House (458 billion VND) and Bo Gia (420 billion VND) by Tran Thanh . The film has gone through many milestones at the box office. A representative of CGV - the film distributor - estimated that more than 3.5 million people went to see the film. The revenue of Lat Mat 6 accounted for two-thirds of the total revenue of theatrical films during the holiday (April 28 - May 3).

Ly Hai said that when he releases a new project, he often goes to the theaters to monitor the audience's reactions. In response to criticism that the script is thin and has many errors, he acknowledges the shortcomings and learns from them for the next film. The director said: "I still try to learn every day to limit unnecessary errors. I try so that no audience will regret spending money on tickets and more than two hours watching the film."

The Fateful Ticket is a separate story from the previous parts. The film is about a group of six boys who have been friends since childhood in a mat village. To celebrate their friendship, Phuong - the main character - buys lottery tickets based on the birth dates of the six people, gives them to An to keep, with the promise that the winnings will be divided equally. After An suddenly dies in an accident, the group digs up his friend's grave to retrieve the ticket. Greed arises, the members chase each other to monopolize the lottery tickets, and their families are also caught up in the fight.
