Ohhhh! This is cool !
A new discovery as I was surfing the net! When we go to Taiwan, must remember to ask for receipts for all your purchases. That is because the tax authority in Taiwan will conduct bi-monthly draw (or quarterly maybe?) On each and every receipt that we collect, there is always a receipt / tax no. printed on it. When you are back from your trip, just go this this website to check all your receipts against the numbers published.

Looking at the website info as to how much was spent and what kind of items the receipts were for..wow! even buying a bottle of water at 7-11 qualifies too! Or at night markets food stalls if they do issue one. Must grab !
If your receipt(s) matches one whole complete string, like our Big Sweep, really HUAT BIG BIG AH! If it matches last few numbers, the prize money varies from I think NT 200 to NT 1000? I am not too sure as I have only found this out. Of course if we are back in Singapore and strike only NT200, don't waste money on another air ticket to fly back to collect the prize money. Just donate to charity and earn some good karma ! kekeke!
This thread on Trip Advisor will help you to understand better.

Go on and read the thread ! Anything that is free and on lucky draw basis, kia-su-ism may not be a bad thing ! Lol...
Now I know :) My friend who came back from Taipei could not understand why some locals ask if she needs the receipts / fa-piao (发票）or else can they (the locals) have it.
Everybody also want to HUAT 365 days !
