Attention! If you are a new arrival to Taiwan, you might make the mistake of refusing the receipt when the cashier offers it, or just accepting the receipt and then throwing it away. 

Don’t do that! You could potentially be throwing away $10,000,000 , the top prize in the lottery (before taxes). Here’s a true story.

On the most recent winning list, a receipt of three tea eggs ($8 NT for each) has won the top prize of Taiwan Receipt Lottery -- $10,000,000NT, according to financial authority in Taiwan.
