Good to know about the XSMB draw time
The draw starts at 18:15 and usually takes about 20–30 minutes. The time is the same seven days a week, in Vietnam time (UTC+7). If you are abroad, the countdown on the home page already converts to Vietnam time.
Days without a draw
The Northern lottery usually pauses for a few days over the Lunar New Year (Tết), as announced by the Northern lottery council. Those days have no results and are not counted in the 300 draws.
Province names
The province name (Hanoi, Quang Ninh…) is the ticket issuer for that day. Whichever province issues the tickets, the 27-prize structure and the way you read results stay the same.
