On April 20, Vietlott announced that the Mega 6/45 jackpot for the draw held on April 10 was awarded to Mr. D.D.D. (masked). Vietlott confirmed that the winning ticket belonged to Mr. D.D.D., a Viettel subscriber who purchased the ticket through Vietlott’s phone distribution channel via the Vietlott SMS support app.
The jackpot prize amounted to more than 79.26 billion dong. After checking the system and personal records, Vietlott verified that the ticket matched the jackpot-winning result.
Mr. D.D.D. is described as a Gen Z young man born between 1997 and 2012, nicknamed “digital citizen,” and employed as an office worker in Ho Chi Minh City. He has long participated in Vietlott’s lottery products and views buying tickets as entertainment, often waiting for the jackpot to rise before purchasing.
At the time of purchase, instead of buying each 10,000 dong ticket, he unexpectedly chose to buy one bao-8 ticket (an eight-number set) with a denomination of 280,000 dong. He said the numbers he selected carry personal meaning such as birth day, month, and year, combined with a few numbers he had checked from previous draws on the Vietlott SMS app.
He stated that while performing daily tasks, he received a notification text indicating he had won. Initially, he did not believe the message and asked his mother to verify the information through official channels and the press. He then logged into the Vietlott SMS app to re-check multiple times and confirmed he was the jackpot winner, with the prize value near 80 billion dong.
Once confirmed, his family rejoiced.
After receiving the prize, Mr. D.D.D. plans to continue his office job, saying he loves it. He also intends to use the winnings to support his family and improve their lives.
Under regulations, he is required to pay personal income tax of more than 7.9 billion dong (10% of the portion exceeding 10 million dong) in Ho Chi Minh City. This tax is deducted at the time of receipt.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise.
