Shorter odds are not automatically better value — shorter-odds games pay smaller top prizes. Cost per unit of chance (price × odds) is the cleanest single comparison.

Tax on winnings in Taiwan

Public Welfare Lottery prizes above NT$5,000 are subject to a final 20% withholding tax; prizes of NT$5,000 or less are exempt. The withholding is separate taxation — once deducted, the winnings need not be included in the annual income tax return. Non-resident winners face the same withholding at source.

Claim window

3 months from the start of the prize-claim period.
