Speaking with Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Ta Van Son - former director of Da Nang Lottery and Printing Services One Member Co., Ltd. (now Da Nang Lottery One Member Co., Ltd.) said that when he was still working, the company used to pay out prizes for lottery tickets that won the special prize but were torn into many pieces.
According to Mr. Son, at that time, the person who bought the lottery ticket was a retired man living in Thanh Khe district (Da Nang).
This customer bought 2 lottery tickets, including 1 Quang Ngai ticket and 1 Da Nang ticket. The Da Nang lottery ticket is worth 5,000 VND.
When the above guest checked the 2 lottery tickets, he only checked the Quang Ngai station, seeing that they were not correct, he tore both tickets. At this time, some young people drinking coffee nearby said "Please check the Da Nang station" and the result was that he won the special prize worth 125 million VND.
Then this person used tape to seal the lottery ticket and sent an application to the company.

After receiving the application, Danang Lottery and Printing Services One Member Co., Ltd. held a meeting, asked for opinions from superiors and sent a document to the Criminal Techniques Department of the City Police for appraisal. The appraisal results of the torn pieces of the lottery ticket issued by Danang Lottery and Printing Services One Member Co., Ltd. were not fake tickets, and the numbers were intact...
Danang Lottery and Printing Services One Member Co., Ltd. invited the above guest to pay the prize according to the guidance circular at that time (Circular 65) prescribed by the Ministry of Finance.
According to research, Circular 65 of 2007 of the Ministry of Finance states the conditions for prize-claiming tickets as follows: Prize-claiming tickets must be intact, original size, not torn, not patched, not erased, not repaired and within the prize-claiming period as prescribed.
In special cases, if the winning ticket is torn apart but there is still enough basis to determine the original shape and authenticity of the ticket; the ticket is not suspected of fraud; the torn position does not affect the factors to determine the winning prize, the lottery company can organize an examination, verification and review, and pay the prize to the customer.
If necessary, the lottery company will request an appraisal from the police before paying the prize. The appraisal fee (if any) will be paid by the lottery ticket owner.
On November 29, the leader of Da Nang Lottery One Member Co., Ltd. also confirmed the above prize payment.
