What is Vietlott Lottery?
1. Concept of Vietlott Lottery
Vietlott is the name of the Vietnam Computerized Lottery Company Limited, under the Ministry of Finance, established on December 5, 2011, and wholly owned by the State.
The computerized lottery was officially launched on July 18, 2016, in Ho Chi Minh City with 2 forms of play: MAX 4D and Mega 6/45. Since then, Vietlott has been implemented in many other cities such as Hanoi, Hai Phong, Ha Long (Quang Ninh),... and introduced many new game formats like Max 3D, Power 6/55, Keno.
Vietlott's computerized lottery is a unique form of play where players can choose their own numbers through terminals at sales points and agents. Unlike traditional lottery where players can only choose from fixed number sequences, the computerized lottery allows players to choose their own numbers to participate in the draw.
2. Types of Games (Vietlott Products)
Currently, Vietlott offers 5 lottery products: Mega 6/45, MAX 3D, MAX 4D, Power 6/55, and Keno. What makes these lottery products different? You can find out in the explanation below:
- Mega 6/45: Mega 6/45 is a matrix-based lottery product. It consists of a number range from 1 to 45, and players can freely choose 6 lucky numbers from this range. Players can participate in multiple draws, up to 6 draws (i.e., 6 draw dates within 2 weeks).
- Mega 6/45 has 3 main playing methods: Standard play, Multiple sets play, and Syndicate play. Specifically:
+ Standard play: Participate with 1 set of numbers (10,000 VND/set), where you randomly select 6 numbers from 1 to 45.
+ Multiple sets play: To increase your chances of winning, you can participate with multiple sets of numbers. To do this, you can choose multiple sets on the selection card.
+ Syndicate play: This is a way to group possible combinations of the numbers you choose. With this play style, you can choose: Syndicate 5, syndicate 7- syndicate 15, and syndicate 18.
For example:
+ Syndicate 5: If you choose syndicate play with 5 numbers, you pick 5 of your favorite numbers, mark them on the selection card, and check the syndicate 5 box. The system will combine them with the remaining numbers to create 6-number sets for you. In total, you will have 40 different sets.
+ Syndicate 7: You choose 7 favorite numbers, mark them on the selection card, and select syndicate 7. The system will generate multiple sets of 6 numbers for you, giving you a total of 7 sets and 7 chances to win.
Apply the same for the remaining syndicates.
Additionally, if you're unsure which numbers to choose, you can let the system pick lucky numbers for you.
- MAX 3D: Max 3D lottery allows players to purchase tickets and select a random 3-digit number from 000 - 999 for a chance to win a variety of attractive prizes. Additionally, you can buy multiple sets of numbers or buy one set for 6 consecutive draws to increase your chances of winning.
Currently, Max 3D offers 2 basic playing options: Max 3D and Code 3D++. Here's how each type works:

With combination play, the numbers you choose do not have to follow the sequence of numbers in the prize, and you still receive a prize.
- Power 6/55: Similar to Mega 6/45, the number selection for Power 6/55 is more diverse, rich, and harder to win. However, this also makes the prizes much more attractive. Specifically, players only need to choose 6 numbers from 01 - 55 to form a set of numbers for participation. With 6/55 lottery, each draw will have 2 huge Jackpot prizes with Jackpot 1 prize worth at least 30 billion and Jackpot 2 worth at least 3 billion.

Here, you can choose to play for 1 draw or multiple draws to not miss out on your luck. Like other types of lotteries, you can choose a maximum of 6 consecutive draws. Additionally, you can also participate in multiple sets to increase your chances of winning.
+ For combination play: You can choose combination play options like 5 set, 7 - 15 set, and 18 set by selecting numbers and choosing the combination option on the selection card.
Example: If you choose 8 sets, on the selection card, you mark 8 numbers and tick the box for 8 sets. At this point, the system will arrange 28 sets (6 numbers) for you. Each set corresponds to 10,000 VND. (numbers do not need to be in order).
