Mr. M.'s younger brother also won 2 special lottery tickets with the same number series and they were still intact, so they were redeemed on the evening of February 1.

Regarding the incident, Mr. Le Van Thang - Director of Hau Giang Lottery Company Limited confirmed that someone from Tra Vinh came to the company to explain about 2 lottery tickets that won the special prize but were torn and asked if they would be paid the prize or not.
According to Mr. Thang, after examination, the two lottery tickets mentioned above were torn, no longer intact, unrecognizable, and could not be compared... so according to regulations, the company could not resolve them.
