The ticket was purchased at a Vietlott sales outlet in the city.

He will be subject to a 10-percent personal income tax on the prize, totaling more than VND34 billion ($1.3 milion), the company said.

The previous record jackpot under Vietlott’s system — VND314 billion ($12 million) awarded in April 2024 — was significantly lower, making this the largest win since the company launched its computerized lottery in 2016.
