Leaders of Vin Long Lottery One Member Limited Company addressed public questions about the “coincidence” of two consecutive jackpot drawings. Chairman and general director Nguyen Quoc Thai said the outcomes were normal, noting that the draw process includes full participation from the oversight council.
Mr. Thai said that during the lottery drawing, the complete oversight council is present, including leadership from the provincial People’s Committee and the provincial police. He emphasized that the two Vinh Long lottery jackpots were drawn in two consecutive draws and that the matching pattern falls within expected randomness.
According to the article, the two jackpots were drawn in consecutive sessions, with 4 out of 6 numbers matching between the two results.
The article notes that some observers questioned whether the similarity between the two winning sequences—800023 and 865023—was “strange,” given that both consecutive draws matched 4/6 numbers.
A representative of a lottery retailer in Ba Diem commune (Ho Chi Minh City) told Nguoi Lao Dong that such outcomes are very normal, arguing that the draw is natural and that, at times, multiple identical digits can appear.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Thi Huong (76 years old, living in Ninh Kieu Ward, Can Tho City), who has sold lottery tickets for nearly 20 years, said that coincidences involving jackpots matching three or more numbers are not rare. She added that there have even been cases where two jackpots from two different agencies matched up to six numbers.
However, Ms. Huong also stated that she had not previously seen the specific pattern described in the article: a jackpot for one agency drawn in two consecutive weeks with four out of six numbers matching.
In response to questions about whether Southern lottery companies conduct semiannual testing, calibration, and checks of electronic balls, Mr. Thai said Vin Long Lottery complies with all regulations. He also said the company follows the rules regarding operational procedures, including how many days are used between draws to change the number set.
The article concludes that, based on the company’s explanation, the two consecutive jackpot results are consistent with the regulated draw process and oversight requirements.
