Hanoi lotto has become an integral part of Vietnamese culture and society, generating millions of dollars that can be put towards social causes and infrastructure development, creating jobs and bringing people together while creating revenue for social causes and infrastructure development. While Hanoi lotto generates enormous returns, many find the game unnerving: from schools to homes nationwide it attracts players of all ages playing it regularly.
There are multiple ways to play the lottery, from buying tickets and entering online entries to attending draws in person and watching results unfold live. Prize amounts depend on both factors as well as on any accumulated entries you may have submitted; other possibilities include simply attending draws to watch how numbers come up or even using statistical analyses to predict winning numbers for future draws; some even specialize in this area and can make good money playing lotteries by predicting past results and mathematical formulas to predict winning numbers!
Vietnam has made lottery a national pastime, with retailers spread throughout the country operating retail lottery shops. The government regulates this form of entertainment by setting maximum prize awards and rules on how draws should take place; with profits going toward social welfare efforts while creating hundreds of jobs through it all. Unfortunately, not everyone working within this industry is pleased with how the government manages it all.
Vietlott and Malaysian conglomerate Berjaya joined forces in January to launch computerized lottery games. Mega 6/45 allows players to select six numbers between 1 and 45 for just VND10,000 ($0.44) each; should no winner emerge, the jackpot rolls over into future drawings.
Vietnamese society loves their games of chance and lottery tickets are increasingly purchased online. There are multiple websites offering lottery players a chance to hit it big by picking the correct combination of numbers; some even provide free trial periods so users can test out the game prior to making a purchase decision.
Lottery sellers can be seen roaming the streets in Vietnam selling “lucky tickets” at a small profit for pennies of profit. Many cannot work due to health reasons or are ineligible for unemployment or old-age pensions – and the lottery provides their sole means of support.
Phuong, who suffers from physical disability, works the lottery at night in order to provide for herself and her son. On good days she sells 250 tickets, earning about 11 US-$ in daily profit; but on poorer ones only 180 are sold – though she does not plan to quit: “If I quit now what am I going to do? Begging for food will become my only alternative!” Wayne Luk of Center for Southeast Asian Refugee Resettlement says that fears like Vo’s are quite common among refugees – they have an inborn distrust of authority/law enforcement forces who tend to come across as authoritative or law enforcement officials when trying to resettle them a home country from where they come.
