Information on sales, profits, etc. was given at the 137th Southern Lottery Conference, held on April 24.
Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2025, the lottery issuance revenue in the Southern region reached 38,550 billion VND, an increase of 6.85% over the same period and more than 25% of the annual plan. Sales revenue reached 38,178 billion VND, an increase of 6.95%.
Notably, the region's average take-up rate exceeded 99% for the first time, with many companies selling out 100%.
Pre-tax profit was VND4,946 billion, up 5.29% and reaching more than 28% of the yearly plan. Thereby, lottery companies in the Southern region paid VND18,999 billion to the budget, up more than 17%, reaching more than 41% of the yearly plan.
In addition, the Ministry of Finance has agreed to increase the traditional lottery sales limit for lottery companies in the Southern region, accordingly the limit will increase by 10 billion VND/lottery period, up to a maximum of 140 billion VND/lottery period for each company, starting from June 1. This means that each lottery company in the Southern region will issue 14 million lottery tickets instead of 13 million tickets/lottery period as at present.
Currently, the issue that many people are interested in is whether or not the lottery companies will merge after the merger of provinces and cities and how will they issue and open prizes?
Speaking at the conference, Mr. Le Thanh Hai - Chairman of Ca Mau Lottery One Member Co., Ltd. - suggested that after the merger, the provinces and cities could keep the current lottery companies or establish a main company and affiliated companies.
For example, Vinh Long province merged with Tra Vinh province and Ben Tre province, the main company is located in Vinh Long, and the two subsidiaries are located in the remaining two provinces. The prize-giving is concentrated in the main company.
"But how can we have mechanisms and policies to keep the interests of subsidiaries from being affected, which will stabilize the general market?" Mr. Hai proposed.
