To increase chances of winning, three numbers were added as the Additional Sixth Prize for this issue—136, 873 and 474. The Additional Sixth Prize (NT$200) is won by matching the last three digits of a uniform invoice with any of the additional winning numbers.
For winners of the special, grand, first, second, third and fourth prize, a 20 percent withholding tax is levied on the prize.
In order to receive the prize money of this issue, a winner must fill out the form on the back of the uniform invoice and present it with his or her ID card at any post office from October 6, 2017 to January 5, 2018, the MOF said. NT$200 winners can also present the winning invoices to any of convenient stores around Taiwan, where they can either add the value to their payment cards or purchase merchandise of the equivalent value, but the value must not be less than NT$200 as no change will be given back.
The uniform-invoice lottery, better known as the Taiwan receipt lottery, is a form of state lottery managed by the MOF. The lottery, designed to boost tax revenues, was introduced on Jan. 1, 1951. The lottery has successfully encouraged locals to obtain receipts for every purchase made with businesses with a certain amount of monthly turnover.
