Kaohsiung, Oct. 15 (CNA) The winner of a NT$406 million (US$13.25 million) Taiwan Grand Lottery
The donation will be distributed to 11 social welfare groups, including four animal welfare organizations that will each get NT$1 million, Taiwan Lottery Corp. General Manager Tsai Kuo-chi (蔡國基) said at a publicity event in Kaohsiung.
Tsai displayed an oversized check in the amount of NT$25 million on behalf of the winner, who he said was a Kaohsiung resident in his 30s.
The man had been buying one lottery ticket regularly each week, but on the day he purchased the winning ticket, he unintentionally bought two because of a miscommunication with the seller, according to Tsai. [FULL STORY]
