On January 8, according to a source from Lao Dong Newspaper, the People's Court of Huong Thuy Town (Hue City) has just sent a notice to the People's Procuracy of Huong Thuy Town and the plaintiff, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga (name has been changed - residing in Thang Binh District, Quang Nam Province; in the lawsuit requesting Hue Lottery One Member Co., Ltd. to pay the lottery winnings of 2 billion VND) about accepting the civil case of dispute over lottery prize payment.
The defendant in this case is Thua Thien Hue Lottery State-owned Company Limited (from January 1, 2025, Thua Thien Hue province becomes Hue city).
Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, on October 14, Ms. Nga bought 2 lottery tickets issued by Hue Lottery Company Limited. In the drawing on the same day, the lottery ticket with the winning number 486552 (F) won the special consolation prize. Although it was torn, Ms. Nga was still paid 50 million VND.
However, lottery ticket 386552 (F) won the special prize of 2 billion VND and was not paid because the ticket was torn in the lower right corner, although the appraisal results of Hue City Police confirmed that this was a real lottery ticket and the numbers were not erased.
On December 10, Ms. Nga filed a lawsuit against Hue City Lottery Company Limited at Huong Thuy Town People's Court, requesting payment of the prize money for the lottery ticket that won the special prize.
Ms. Nga also paid a provisional civil court fee of 36 million VND, along with a certificate of her marital status, to the People's Court of Huong Thuy town.
