According to the regulations of the Ministry of Finance in Circular No. 111/2013/TT-BTC, the lucky customer who won the Lotto 5/35 jackpot will have to pay 10% personal income tax. Thus, after deducting personal income tax, the amount of money this person receives is nearly 9.2 billion VND.

In addition to the jackpot prize worth over 10.2 billion VND, in the 209th drawing of Lotto 5/35 lottery held today, Vietlott also found 6 people who won the second prize, each worth 5 million VND, 69 people who won the third prize, each worth 500,000 VND, 194 people who won the fourth prize, each worth 100,000 VND, 1,886 people who won the fifth prize, each worth 30,000 VND, and 14,073 people who won the consolation prize, each worth 10,000 VND.

On June 29, Vietlott launched the Lotto 5/35 lottery product. With two draws each day at 1 p.m. and 9 p.m., this type offers the chance to win the jackpot twice a day, 7 days a week.

Lotto 5/35 has a total of 7 prize categories, of which the jackpot prize starts at 6 billion VND and will continue to accumulate through the draws if no one wins.

The difference of this lottery product is the mechanism of dividing the jackpot. When the accumulated jackpot reaches 12 billion VND and there is still no winner, Vietlott will divide the prize in the drawing at 9:00 p.m. the next day (prize division period), on the condition that there is no jackpot winner in the drawing.

Specifically, the prize money will be divided among the winning tickets of the remaining prize categories (except for the consolation prize), issued in the same prize drawing period. The jackpot will be divided according to the ratio: the first prize category will receive 1/3 of the jackpot value, the remaining prize categories will receive 1/6 of the jackpot value.

If one of the prize categories has no winner, the prize value of that prize category will be divided equally among the remaining prize categories.

In terms of gameplay, Lotto 5/35 allows players to choose 5 numbers from the set of 01 to 35, along with a special number from 01 to 12 to create a series of winning numbers with a value of 10,000 VND/set. In addition, players can choose to play multiple sets of numbers to increase the number of participating numbers.

By matching just one special number, players can receive a consolation prize worth 10,000 VND. For other prize categories such as matching 3 main numbers, 4 main numbers or 5 main numbers, the prize will increase from tens of thousands to tens of millions of VND. In the case of matching 5 main numbers and 1 special number at the same time, players will win the cumulative jackpot, starting from 6 billion VND.

The place where the Vietlott jackpot winning lottery ticket worth nearly 37 billion VND was sold was revealed. The Jackpot 1 winning lottery ticket worth nearly 37 billion VND in Vietlott's Power 6/55 lottery in the drawing on the evening of October 9 was sold in Thanh Hoa.
