In Taiwan, people can win NT$200 to NT$10 million from the uniform-invoice lottery, depending on the number printed on their receipt; however, some people try to spread out their purchases to get more lottery receipts.
The National Audit Office (MOF) recently found that between November 2019 and October 2020, two frequent winners had won more than 2,000 times. How did they do it? They split up their purchases or bought large quantities of cheap items separately to get more eceipts.
The government said that they will no longer pay these winners their prizes and are asking them to return the money they have already received.
在台灣,我們可以憑著統一發票收據上的數字兌獎,贏得新台幣200元至1000萬元的獎金;然而,卻有些人藉由商品刻意分開結帳來換取更多發票,以便提高中獎率。
審計部最近發現,在2019年11月至2020年10月期間,有兩位「中獎常客」總共贏得獎金超過2000次。他們是怎麼做到的?原來,他們刻意把商品分開結帳,或購買大量廉價物品但分開結帳,以換取更多發票。
政府表示,他們不再把獎金送給這類中獎者,還會要求他們退回已領取的獎金。
spread out 指的是「分散、散開」,本文中指消費的物品分開結算,也可以指人分散行動。
例句:
The police spread out to search the area. 警方分散人力來搜查該區域。
