In order to halt the gambling rage stemming from Tachia Le, a gambling event that rode piggyback on the Taiwan Lottery, the Taiwan Lottery was terminated on 27 December 1987. After 37 years and eight months and a total of 1,171 drawings, the government had no choice but to pull the plug on the Taiwan Lottery.
令人料想不到的是，1987 年 12 月 27 日，為了遏止依附愛國獎券而衍生的「大家樂」瘋狂賭風，發行長達 37 年 8 個月、共計 1171 期的愛國獎券，在無奈中劃下了句點。
