Netizens discovered One of the top prize winners turned out to be a Steam player. He made a fortune by spending only 29 yuan, which made everyone wonder what game he bought.
The “unified invoice redemption” is a consumption system that is rare in the world. Even foreigners can receive awards with a residence permit. It is said that the government originally designed it to encourage consumers to play a supervisory role and actively ask for invoices when making purchases, so as to prevent businesses from avoiding tax evasion by avoiding invoices, or Hide true turnover.
There have been many cases in history where small purchases have won big prizes. The special prize for invoices has reached NT$10 million (excluding tax), and the special prize has reached NT$2 million. For example, in the invoices released this time from September to October, some people ordered them on foodpanda. Win the jackpot with a handling fee of 5 yuan.
For players, there are many ways to win prizes for lessons and games, but winning the jackpot seems to be the first time in history. This player only spent 29 yuan on Steam to get a multi-million bonus (tax not deducted). Many netizens are curious about this lucky person. What kind of coin-priced game did I buy? It is speculated that it is either a DLC special price or an independent game at a discounted price.
Other netizens speculated that the “transaction service fee” displayed in the official announcement transaction item may be a system refund or a handling fee generated by the Steam Market transaction, rather than the actual purchase of a certain game.
