A VND 50 Million Win That Has the Whole Mekong Delta Neighborhood Trying Their Luck
“I Thought Someone Was Playing a Prank on Me”
It was a sweltering summer afternoon. A fan inside the small café ran continuously, but could barely cut through the heat outside.
In one corner of the café, Lê Thị Ngọc Trang was holding her child in one arm while quickly serving drinks to customers with the other.
The modest café sits along a rural road in Vĩnh Gia Commune, An Giang. There is no large signboard or eye-catching lighting—just a few plastic tables and chairs, a drinks cabinet, and the sound of customers stopping by to escape the midday heat.

“Some days business is good, some days it is not. There are days when I’m completely exhausted,” Trang said. Amid the many beverages she sells, Number 1 Energy Drink has always been her favorite.
“Number 1 is my go-to drink. It tastes good, quenches my thirst and helps me stay alert. I drink it every day to recharge and have the energy to run the café.”
Last summer, after finishing her usual bottle of Number 1, Trang casually tore off the label, retrieved the promotional code and sent a text message to enter the campaign—a small, enjoyable routine she had picked up.
“I entered nearly 20 times, but I never thought I would actually win,” she recalled.
Then, one day, her phone suddenly rang.
The caller told her that she had won the First Prize—a cash award of VND 50 million—from Number 1’s summer promotional campaign.
“At first, I was afraid it was a scam, so I asked them several times to confirm. I checked the messages on my phone and went to the website to verify everything before I could believe it was real,” Trang said with a smile.
News that the young café owner had won VND 50 million quickly spread through the neighborhood. Relatives came over to congratulate her, while regular customers kept dropping by to ask about the unexpected windfall. The small neighborhood suddenly became livelier than usual.

“Some neighbors even came running over and asked, ‘Is it true? Did you really win?’” she said, bursting into laughter.
At just 21, Trang does not talk about having grand dreams.
So when she received the VND 50 million prize from Number 1, her first thought was not to buy a new phone or splurge on herself.
“I used all the money to stock up on more products for the café,” she said simply.
Regular customers remember the young café owner for her ever-present smile. But few know that just a year ago, the place was buzzing for days after an unexpected phone call changed her fortunes.
The shelves in the café gradually became better stocked. Besides Number 1, they now carry Không Độ Green Tea, Dr Thanh Herbal Tea and a variety of other products. The once-modest roadside café now looks brighter and better supplied.
“I feel like I have more hope in life, as if Number 1 has given me extra energy to take care of my children and my family,” the young woman said with a gentle smile.
From One Winner to a New Habit Across a Mekong Delta Neighborhood
This summer, the “Scratch & Win Instantly” promotion featuring Không Độ Green Tea, Dr Thanh Herbal Tea and Number 1 Energy Drink has returned nationwide from April 20 to August 31, 2026, offering more than 500,000 prizes, including a Grand Prize worth up to VND 100 million.
In a small Mekong Delta neighborhood, the story of someone winning VND 50 million the previous summer has encouraged many residents to eagerly “scratch the label and enter the code” after buying their favorite beverages this year.
Interestingly, following Trang’s win, scratching the label and entering the code has become a familiar habit for many people in the neighborhood.
“Now, after customers finish their drinks, they often ask if they can keep the labels so they can enter the codes,” Trang said.
Number 1 is not the only choice. Many people also pick Không Độ Green Tea or Dr Thanh Herbal Tea to cool down during the summer and then take the opportunity to join the promotion. Even winning a mobile phone top-up card worth a few tens of thousands of dong is enough to put a smile on someone’s face for the rest of the day.
As for Trang, despite having already won a major prize, she continues to participate every day.
“I used to join just for fun. Now I feel that winning a prize is actually much closer than I thought,” she said with a smile.

When a Small Post-Drink Ritual Becomes a Daily Moment of Fun
This summer, the “Scratch & Win Instantly” promotion from Number 1, Dr Thanh Herbal Tea and Không Độ Green Tea is offering more than 500,000 mobile phone top-up cards worth VND 10,000 to VND 50,000, with prizes awarded every day. To date, more than 400,000 prizes have already found their winners, while hundreds of thousands of prizes are still being awarded nationwide.
Taking part is simple. There is no need to download an app or create an account. After consuming a promotional product, participants simply tear off the label to obtain the code and enter it directly on https://xengaytrunglien.com/ or send the code by text message to hotline 6020 to find out the result almost instantly.
In addition, every valid code provides another chance to enter a lucky draw for three Grand Prizes, each worth VND 100 million in cash, along with dozens of First Prizes worth VND 10 million each.
The third livestreamed lucky draw to identify the winners of the Grand Prizes will take place on September 4 and will be broadcast publicly on the official fan pages of Dr Thanh Herbal Tea, Không Độ Green Tea and Number 1 Energy Drink.
For many participants, the most exciting part is the moment they enter the code and find out the result almost immediately on their phones.
Perhaps what makes the promotion resonate is not simply the value of the prizes, but the very real feeling that good fortune can come to ordinary people.

| Amidst the ordinary moments of daily life, many people peel off and keep the bottle label after finishing their drink—just in case luck decides to pay a visit. |
It could be a factory worker racing to meet a deadline during a shift, a driver stopping at a roadside café under the midday sun, or a young café owner in the Mekong Delta, juggling work and childcare while doing her best to keep her small business running every day.
And that may be why, in that small Mekong Delta neighborhood, many people still hold on to the label for a few extra seconds after finishing their drink before throwing it away.
Because who knows? Luck might just come knocking one more time.
