According to a Vietlott representative, a key factor in the phone-based distribution channel's popularity is its convenience, allowing players to participate anytime, anywhere. Each ticket purchase is confirmed via SMS and stored within the application, ensuring security and transparency. The prize confirmation and redemption process is streamlined. When a player wins, they receive a direct notification on their phone, and prizes under 10 billion dong are transferred straight to their registered bank account.

Through the phone-based lottery distribution channel, players can participate in self-selected lottery products such as Mega 6/45, Power 6/55, Max 3D/3D+/Pro, Bingo18, and Lotto 5/35. Notably, the fast-draw Bingo18 lottery is exclusive to this channel, catering to players who enjoy quick entertainment, with draws occurring every 6 minutes.

Over its 5 years of operation, the phone-based distribution channel has seen many notable winning stories. Some players have won big prizes on their first try, while others, through consistent participation, have secured prizes worth billions of dong.

Mr. D.H. from Gia Lai province, who registered to play via Vietlott SMS on his MobiFone subscription, won Power 6/55 Jackpot 1, worth 256 billion dong. Sharing at the award ceremony, he stated that he initially thought he had won a small prize. However, upon opening the message and seeing the substantial amount, he was surprised. "I never imagined I would become the second-highest prize winner in Vietnamese lottery history", he said.

Mr. N.C.H. from Khanh Hoa, a Lotto 5/35 player who won after purchasing tickets on the Vietlott SMS app, has long favored the phone channel for its convenience, speed, and security. Previously, he had participated in most Vietlott products without winning. Upon learning of the upcoming Lotto 5/35 launch, he used the "play trial" feature on Vietlott SMS, then regularly monitored and purchased tickets for the product.

"I once used the Lotto 5/35 trial feature and won a 6 billion dong prize that time. After the product launched, I continued to play, hoping to win the top prize someday. That day, I bought 6 random number sequences and was surprised to find luck on my side", he shared.

To use Vietlott's phone-based distribution channel, players aged 18 and older simply download the app, verify their identity with a citizen ID to register an account, and flexibly deposit funds via bank transfer or e-wallet directly within the app.

A Vietlott representative hopes players will continue to engage with the phone-based distribution channel, creating more opportunities for luck, spreading positive winning stories, and delivering tangible value to the community.
