On July 3, speaking with Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Duong Minh Tu - Director of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Lottery One Member Co., Ltd. said that after merging Ba Ria - Vung Tau province into Ho Chi Minh City, the unit will hand over the status quo to Ho Chi Minh City according to regulations.
"However, according to the direction of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the activities of the Ba Ria - Vung Tau Lottery Company will remain normal until December 31, 2025," Mr. Tu informed.
Previously, many lottery ticket sellers in 30 wards, communes and special zones (belonging to the old Ba Ria - Vung Tau) were quite worried because they were afraid of affecting their work and income, before the news that Ba Ria - Vung Tau Lottery Company and Binh Duong Lottery Company may stop issuing after the merger into Ho Chi Minh City.
Thus, activities such as printing, issuance, lottery, prize payment... of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Lottery are still being carried out normally, which is to issue and have lottery results every Tuesday as before.
In the coming time, the competent authorities will consider to have a suitable orientation for the operations of lottery units under the new Ho Chi Minh City, including Ho Chi Minh City Lottery, Binh Duong Lottery and Ba Ria - Vung Tau Lottery.
