Mr. Ba asked the coffee shop owner to check the numbers, but she tricked him, saying his lottery ticket that won the special prize was "wrong" and then took it.
On May 30, Long An Provincial Police returned 2.1 billion VND to Mr. Ho Van Be Ba (43 years old, fish buyer). This is the amount recovered from his 2 winning lottery tickets, which were seized by someone else.

The next day, Mr. Ba and Mr. Huynh Van Du (60 years old) went to Mrs. Suong's shop to drink water and asked the shop owner to help them check their lottery tickets. A while later, Mrs. Suong said she had not won and threw away two lottery tickets, but Mr. Ba picked up one.
Just then, Mr. Thuyen brought fish to sell. His hands were full, so Mr. Ba gave the lottery ticket to Mr. Du to hold for him.
A while later, Mr. Thuyen checked his lottery tickets and saw that he had won 6 consolation tickets. Knowing that Mr. Ba had won the jackpot, he informed them. However, when Mr. Ba asked Ms. Suong and Mr. Du where the two lottery tickets were, they said "they didn't know," so the victim had to report to the police.
After working with the police for a long time, Mr. Du confessed that when he found out that Mr. Ba's lottery ticket had won the jackpot, he hid it and took his son to collect the prize a week later. Mrs. Suong admitted that she asked her sister in Ho Chi Minh City to collect it for her. Of the 3.6 billion VND they had spent, only 2.1 billion remained.
The investigation agency is considering handling these two people.
