Lotto in Taiwan - Money for Nothin'

A few years back, the government in Taiwan decide to proactively restrict “off the books” purchasing and buying. They did this by implementing a lotto system and the lotto numbers are on each receipt that you receive from a registered store.

Every time you get a receipt there is a number on the bottom of it. This is your lotto number. Each receipt that you get has a unique eight digit number stamped on it. On the 25th of every odd month they announce four winning numbers. You then check your receipt numbers from the previous two months.
