A lucky FamilyMart customer who bought a rice ball for a mere NT$27 (US$0.88) has won the NT$10 million special prize in the September-October issue of the Taiwan receipt lottery.
Only seven people have won the NT$10 million special prize in the September-October edition, a record low in the history of the lottery, according to the Ministry of Finance (MOF).

Those who have the last seven digits right can receive NT$40,000 (US$1,300), and if they have the final six digits in the right order, they will receive NT$10,000 (US$329). If the last five digits are the same, the prize is NT$4,000; with the four final digits in the right order, the holder of the uniform invoice can receive NT$1,000; and with the three last numbers right, NT$200.
As for the additional prize, there are three numbers this time around: 693, 043, and 425. Holders of receipts with the last three digits matching one of these three-digit numbers will garner an NT$200 prize.
