The post attracted hundreds of thousands of interactions, along with comments expressing admiration for the character in the post.
Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Mr. Tai (born in 1983, residing in Tay Ninh province), owner of Hung Tu lottery agency (Hoa Thanh town, Tay Ninh province), said that the woman in the article is Ms. Ha To Phuong Lan. Ms. Lan is Mr. Tai's younger sister, also the owner of Hung Tu lottery agency.
However, Mr. Tai said that his sister was not the owner of the 12 winning lottery tickets as spread.
He said: "On August 16, a 60-year-old couple in Tay Ninh, who are well-off, bought 36 Vinh Long lottery tickets from a lottery ticket seller provided by an agent. That afternoon, they discovered they won 12 special tickets worth 24 billion VND and 24 consolation tickets worth 50 million VND. After deducting taxes, the actual amount received was 21.6 billion VND and more than 1.1 billion VND, respectively," said Mr. Tai.
After discovering they had won, the couple did not redeem the ticket immediately but kept it at home. On August 17, they contacted Ms. Lan to redeem the prize and asked her to bring the cash to their home.
"Seeing customers get emotional when they win a large sum of money, we are also happy. Since the beginning of the year, we have exchanged the special prize for customers 42 times. Lan often posts pictures of the winning lottery tickets online, so people often misunderstand that she is the owner of those winning lottery tickets," Mr. Tai confided.
The lottery agent shared that his store has been in operation for over 50 years. His family has also witnessed many customers winning lottery tickets. Mr. Tai said that recently, a lottery ticket seller who specializes in receiving tickets at his agency also won a jackpot worth 2 billion VND.
"Lottery ticket vendors usually leave one ticket to try their luck. Last Thursday, a lottery ticket vendor in extremely difficult circumstances won the prize. When I heard the news, I was happy for them," said Mr. Tai.
