Lucky Rider Wins $61,000 After Spending $3.30 on Gas in Taiwan

A lucky motorcycle rider in Keelung, Taiwan, has won the top prize of NT$2 million (approximately US$61,000) in the latest uniform invoice lottery draw. The winning ticket was issued after a mere NT$109 purchase of gasoline at a CPC Corporation gas station in the Dingnei area of Keelung. This remarkable win adds to Keelung's streak of good fortune, as it marks the seventh consecutive lottery period where a major prize has been awarded in the city. Previous wins include three special prizes, two grand prizes, and two cloud invoice-exclusive million-dollar prizes. Officials from the Keelung branch of the National Taxation Bureau of Northern Taiwan encourage citizens to increase their chances of winning by utilizing cloud invoices, which offer multiple chances for prizes. The current uniform invoice lottery period for March-April 2026 has a prize claim period from June 6 to September 7, 2026. The bureau also reminds the public that the claim period for the January-February 2026 winning invoices ends on July 6, 2026, urging winners to claim their prizes promptly to avoid forfeiting their winnings. The government is also offering additional cloud invoice-exclusive prizes, including 30 million-dollar prizes, 16,000 NT$2,000 prizes, 100,000 NT$800 prizes, and 3.85 million NT$500 prizes per period for the first half of 2026, totaling over 3.96 million prize-winning opportunities.
