One individual instantly became rich overnight, walking away with more than 1.1 billion NT dollars with one single lottery ticket. The Powerball Lottery jackpot finally found an owner after 22 weeks, breaking the record as the highest sole winner of all time here in Taiwan. Here on CTS, let's take a look at this story that will make us envy.

Firecrackers are being lit up to celebrate this one store's triumph and one individual's victory.

The 1.1 billion NT dollar Powerball Lottery jackpot was passed out from this Taitung shop on Xinshen Road at the Monday drawing, marking the largest solo winning in Taiwan Lottery game's history.

A massive crowd gathered at the storefront, wishing to get a share of the fortune, by buying their next round of tickets for their next attempt. The vendor sold about 300, 000 NT dollars worth of tickets, and one single person claimed that desiring sum.

With that kind of cash, many are hoping that the record-setter will generously donate money to minority groups in Taitung, but so far, the ultimate winner hasn't stepped out to collect the grand prize.

With Taiwan Lottery Company set to amend the rules of the game to increase the chances of scoring, it'll require more than just luck to hit that kind of jackpot in the future.
