The Hanoi lottery company Xổ số Thủ Đô has published a new prize structure for its Lô tô 3 cặp số game, which applies from 01/9/20261. The operator set out the change in a page on its Lô tô products dated 19/08/20261. Lô tô has been issued by the company since 01/04/1994, and it currently issues Lô tô 2 số, 3 số and 4 số, plus Lô tô 2 cặp số, 3 cặp số and 4 cặp số daily1.
In Lô tô 2, 3 and 4 cặp số, the player picks two, three or four different pairs of digits from 00 to 99, and winning is determined against the 27 draws of the Northern lottery (xổ số kiến thiết miền Bắc) held the same day1. Tickets are manual (vé thủ công) and priced at 5.000 đ and 10.000 đ1. A ticket matching several prizes is paid only the single highest-value prize, and the pairs played on one ticket must be different from each other1.
The new 3 cặp số structure pays as follows1:
| Result | Prize |
|---|---|
| All 3 pairs matched, and 3 pairs repeated in 2 or more draws | 60 times the ticket price |
| All 3 pairs matched, and 3 pairs repeated in 1 draw | 40 times the ticket price |
| 2 of 3 pairs matched, and 2 pairs repeated in 2 or more draws | 10 times the ticket price |
| 2 of 3 pairs matched, including 1 pair repeated in 2 or more draws | 2 times the ticket price |
The same page lists the 2 cặp số and 4 cặp số structures without a stated start date, while the 2 số and 3 số structures are marked as applying from 15/7/20261. The company describes Lô tô as a lottery in which players choose the digits they play, with winning determined after the draw takes place1.

What it means for players
For anyone playing Lô tô 3 cặp số in Vietnam, the amounts paid for each combination of matched pairs change from 01/9/20261. The published table is the reference for what a winning ticket is worth, and it is expressed as multiples of the price paid for the ticket, which is 5.000 đ or 10.000 đ1. Because a ticket that matches several prizes pays only the highest-value one, the top line of the table is the ceiling for a single ticket1. The rule that the pairs on one ticket must differ from each other also remains in the published terms1.
The change applies to one game among several the company issues daily, alongside Lô tô 2 số, 3 số, 4 số, 2 cặp số and 4 cặp số1. Results for all of them are read against the same day's Northern lottery draws1.

What happens next
The 3 cặp số structure takes effect on 01/9/20261. No further changes to the other Lô tô games have been reported beyond the 2 số and 3 số structures dated 15/7/20261.
