Lottery winners spread their good fortune throughout society
Taiwan’s national lottery has been in existence for four years now. Over this time, the lottery has enabled nearly 160 people to become millionaires. Many winners have used their winnings to do good for society. One of the most well known examples is that of the young female teacher who won the grand prize and decided to donate all of her winnings to charity. However, many other people have made large donations as well. One winner donated a large sum of money to the Creation Social Welfare Foundation, an organization in which volunteers provide care to invalids. Other donations have been made to underprivileged families, giving them ample funds to overcome various challenges. One owner of a stand that sells lottery tickets even donated his earnings from selling tickets to a fund to erect a baseball stadium. These are just a few of the stories that Taipei Fubon Bank, the issuer of the lottery, has hailed as “moving.” »
