Taipei, Taiwan โ The Ministry of Finance announced that four 10 million New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) prizes from the January-February 2026 unified invoice lottery have yet to be claimed. The deadline for claiming these prizes is July 6.
Since the special prize was introduced in 2011, a total of 1,264 invoices have won the 10 million NTD prize across 91 drawings. Of these, 957 have been claimed, leaving 307 unclaimed prizes. The four currently unclaimed prizes include a 2 NTD purchase for a plastic bag at a McDonald's in New Taipei City's Tucheng District, a 21 NTD purchase for a milk tea, an 80 NTD parking fee at a lot in Taoyuan City's Guishan District, and a 1,579 NTD purchase at Meiguan Garden in Taipei's Wanhua District.
In addition to these four, there are 20 winning invoices for the March-April 2026 period, with a claiming deadline of September 7. This brings the total number of unclaimed 10 million NTD prizes to 24. The Ministry of Finance urges winners to claim their prizes within the designated period.
To facilitate prize claiming and encourage the use of digital invoices, the Ministry recommends downloading the "Unified Invoice Prize Claim App." This app allows users to link their mobile barcodes to various digital receipts, set up direct deposit accounts, and claim prizes instantly, also saving 40,000 NTD in stamp duty for those who complete the digital conversion before the draw.
For those holding paper invoices, prize money can be collected at designated branches of First Bank, Changhua Bank, National Farmers Bank, Kinmen Cooperative Bank, and Lienchiang County Farmers Association Credit Department. The Ministry of Finance also reminds the public that utility bills can be paid via mobile payment, linked to a mobile barcode for invoice storage, allowing for immediate prize claims through the app.
