One individual in Hsinchuan of Taipei completely lucked out, and walked away with about 571 million NT dollars after claiming the jackpot for the Powerball, marking the highest winning this year.

One lucky man in New Taipei City becomes the sole winner of this drawing of powerball.

According to the owner of the lottery retailer that sold the winning ticket, the clienteles are mostly labor workers or office workers in the industrial park.

As he recalls, it was on the 4th of April and the weather was cold and humid.

A man in his 30's spent 2,400 NTD in buying three number packages.

He might be the lucky winner. Since there has been no winner in 21 drawings, the jackpot rolled over to 570 million NTD.

There were a lot of people trying to buy lottery tickets one day before the numbers were picked, boosting the average sales of lottery retailers by as high as 30 percent.
