On July 25, 2026, the winning numbers for Taiwan's 115th year May-June Uniform Invoice lottery were announced. While some found none of their invoices won, others with small purchases walked away with multiple prizes. Recently, a female netizen shared her 'lucky habit'—donating invoices—which she claims has dramatically increased her winning frequency, sparking a viral discussion online.
The original poster (OP), calling herself a 'lucky invoice winner,' shared on Threads that over the years, she noticed a clear pattern: after adopting the habit of donating invoices, her wins became more frequent. Whenever she shops and sees the option to donate via a charity code (愛心碼), she immediately chooses to donate the invoice. If there's a physical donation box at the store, she drops it in. Only invoices that can't be donated are kept.
She joked that since she started donating, she's found herself 'incredibly lucky' in the lottery. Though she admits there's no scientific basis, she feels a strong sense of 'good deeds bring good returns.'
To back up her claim, she shared her past winning records: NT$4,200 in the May-June 2025 draw (114th year), NT$1,000 in November-December 2025, and NT$1,900 in the latest May-June 2026 draw—adding up to a substantial amount. She also revealed she consistently uses charity code '268' to ensure her invoices support meaningful social causes.
The post quickly went viral, drawing thousands of comments. Many users echoed similar experiences: 'It's true! Ever since I started monthly donations to animal shelters, I've been winning!' 'It works, but only if you don’t expect anything in return.' 'I’ve been winning constantly since I started using charity codes.' 'I’ve been donating supplies to care homes monthly, and now I win every time.' One user even said, 'I donated nearly NT$3,000 this month and won NT$900—not much, but I’ve won every single period this year.'
Others shared their own 'luck rituals': 'I always give NT$30 tips on food deliveries, and this time I won NT$1,200—all from delivery invoices. Feels like what I give comes back.' 'I only won big this and last period, but I’m satisfied.' 'Those who do good will be rewarded.' 'When I donate, I silently wish for those in need—like elders in pain or stray animals. Maybe that’s why I win.' 'True—your luck flows when you give.' 'I donate loose change at convenience stores and make monthly donations; this time I won NT$500.' 'I’ve won every period for six straight draws—always after donating.'
However, not everyone agrees. Some lamented: 'My mom donates to underprivileged children every month, but she’s only won NT$500 in her entire life.' 'Why is luck never on my side?' 'I’ve never won—even NT$200.' 'Does this really work? Should I now have a higher chance of winning NT$10 million?'
The OP emphasized: 'Never do it for rewards! I donate because I hope it helps someone. But every time I check, I’m surprised to find I’ve won again.'
Winning Numbers for May-June 2026 (115th Year): - Special Prize (NT$10 million): 38548029 - Grand Prize (NT$2 million): 10138845 - First Prize (NT$200,000): 24121106, 28589937, 83663333
The Ministry of Finance reminds the public that prize redemption runs from August 6 to November 5, 2026. Winners must claim prizes at designated locations within this period.
It’s important to note that these are personal anecdotes. No scientific studies confirm that donating invoices or performing good deeds increases lottery winning odds.
