Crucial Verification Seals Tattered Lottery Ticket Payout
On October 23rd, Gia Lai Lottery Company Limited paid out the grand prize to Mr. P.V.L. from Ve Giang Commune, Quang Ngai Province, the legitimate owner of a torn lottery ticket. This outcome was significantly aided by the Quang Ngai Provincial Police Forensics Department, which authenticated the ticket as genuine.
To ensure transparency and prevent fraud, on October 21st, Mr. L. and company leaders brought the ticket to the Quang Ngai Provincial Police for forensic examination.
This forensic inspection served as the most definitive "seal" to determine the authenticity of the lottery ticket, forming the basis for the payout.
Advanced Techniques Used in Authentication
Forensic experts from the Criminal Technical Department employed several modern examination methods, including:
- Using high-resolution microscopes.
- Utilizing document examination equipment employing multi-spectral light sources.
- Employing high-resolution integrated cameras.
Furthermore, advanced techniques were applied:
- Chemical analysis of the paper and ink, examined under infrared and ultraviolet (UV) light.
- Magnification of the torn areas under a microscope to assess the alignment of paper fiber structure, print quality, and ink marks.
Following numerous verification measures, the police ultimately concluded that the ticket and the stub retained by the Gia Lai Lottery Company originated from the same print run, showing no signs of erasure or alteration.
Based on these conclusive results, on October 23rd, Gia Lai Lottery Company Limited officially awarded the prize to Mr. P.D.L., the owner of the ticket that won the K39-25 jackpot worth 2 billion VND. After tax deductions, Mr. L. received over 1.8 billion VND.
