Changhua District Prosecutors’ Office Head Prosecutor Wu Yu-hsuan (吳宇軒) on Tuesday led a team of more than 100 people to search and seize hundreds of boxes of blank receipts, printers, allegedly fake receipts and other evidence. The group allegedly set up a fake firm to buy large amounts of blank uniform receipts, the office said. They would then distribute the fake receipts to group members to take to different convenience stores to claim the prizes, the office said. From last month to this month, it purchased another 2 million blank receipts, he said, adding that those were seized. Yeh said he believed that this is the “first case” of people taking advantage of blank receipts to engage in lottery fraud in Taiwan.
