Exercise for writing skills - 2 • Something interesting and special about my culture - Taiwan receipt lottery/ uniform invoice lottery: In Taiwan, there’s one intriguing thing concerning the stuff you get after buying something - receipt. Yes, the receipt, and everyone knows what the receipt is, but you could get a chance of winning money with your receipt in Taiwan. It’s just like the lottery; If you match the digits of the published winning numbers, you win money. The rules of Taiwan receipt lottery: • match the last three digits of any sets of the First Prize winning numbers, you win NT$200. - Sixth Prize • match the last four digits from any of the First Prize winning numbers, you win NT$1000. - Fifth Prize • match the last five digits from any of the First Prize winning numbers, you win NT$4000. - Fourth Prize • match the last six digits from any of the First Prize winning numbers, you win NT$10,000. - Third Prize • match the last seven digits from any of the First Prize winning numbers, you win NT$40,000. - Second Prize • First Prize: NT$200,000 for matching all the digits from any sets of the First Prize winning numbers in the right order.
