Mr. P. stated that he lives and runs a freelance business in District 8. He has been a regular buyer of Vietlott's self-selected lottery products since 2016. He shared that buying lottery tickets is a weekend pastime to relax after stressful workdays. He usually buys tickets worth 20,000-30,000 VND each time and has maintained this hobby for over 8 years. His lucky ticket, worth 20,000 VND, had two sets of numbers automatically selected by the machine.

At the awards ceremony, Mr. P. donated 1 billion VND to the Tam Tai Viet Social Fund to carry out social welfare activities.
