Public opinion is interested in the lawsuit between Ms. Nguyen Thi Ng (residing in Thang Binh district, Quang Nam province) and Thua Thien - Hue Lottery Company, in which the appraisal result of the lottery ticket winning 2 billion VND is the most awaited.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Ng requested to be provided with the results of the lottery ticket appraisal, but the Criminal Techniques Department of Thua Thien - Hue Provincial Police refused because Ms. Ng was not the subject requesting the appraisal.
According to legal experts, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ng was not the one who requested it, so the police agency's refusal to provide the appraisal results to Ms. Ng was correct.
The entity requesting the appraisal of the lottery ticket is Thua Thien - Hue Lottery Company, the appraisal fee is 12 million VND, Ms. Ng must pay according to the request of Thua Thien - Hue Lottery Company. Although the result is available, the Company still does not notify Ms. Ng, even though she has sent a written request to provide the appraisal result since December 13.
The fact that Thua Thien - Hue Lottery Company did not notify Ms. Ng of the appraisal results, nor did it make the results public, has caused public opinion to question the authenticity of the lottery ticket.
If the lottery ticket is fake, Ms. Ng will hardly be able to spend 12 million VND for Hue Lottery Company to send it to the authorities for appraisal.
Thua Thien - Hue Lottery Company must be responsible for announcing the results of the lottery ticket appraisal as requested by Ms. Ng, because she is the owner of the lottery ticket and has paid the appraisal fee, that is fair.
As a state-owned enterprise, Thua Thien - Hue Lottery Company needs to be transparent in information when there are complaints from customers, and should not hide or avoid the truth.
"Ms. Nguyen Thi Ng's request to be informed of the lottery ticket appraisal results is legitimate. Concealing information is not advisable and not possible.
Thua Thien - Hue Lottery Company believes that the refusal to pay the prize to Ms. Nguyen Thi Ng is in accordance with the law, so the appraisal results should be made public and the results accepted at the trial.
