I tried asking someone to help me with my winning lottery receipts suggested I post them to her and she can cash them in, use the cash to buy me a couple of books online and keep the change but she didn’t seem to like that suggestion and blocked me soon after
Did I commit some sort of cultural fox pass?
I know nothing about Fox Pass, but it looks nice, though.
As for the receipt lottery debacle, here’s where you screwed up.
Try this next time.
“Hey, I just won X amount of dollars on the lottery receipts, I’m not really certain how to redeem them. If you teach me how to do it and help me cash them in, I’ll use the winnings to take you out for a nice dinner as a thank you.”

Thanks yeah I guess people get funny about money could have put it more tactfully, although the issue is that I’m not in Taiwan to cash them in
She may also have blocked me because of what I said after although that makes less sense to me. This is someone I’ve been friendly with and know irl she even invited me to a mid autumn festival thing 
Maybe she’s an English teacher.

Actually not quite, but she is in that line of work. However, the difference is suttle.
Not a cultural faux pas, more like a universal one.

More like just being a pan in the ox

How so? I mean the way she responded you’d think I was asking her for her bank details or something. The idea seemed mutually beneficial to me
How much did you drink at the “mid-autumn festival thing”? Did you make a pass at her, or maybe worse, not make a pass at her?
Nahh I didn’t end up going
Although I did tell her I fancied her almost a year ago and she said “I don’t know, maybe” and then a bit later I asked her if she wanted to do something and she didn’t respond but things seemed amicable enough after that (she invited me to that thing after all)

Aside from the obvious, she may also be unwilling to participate in a stupidly complicated maneuver that has the added benefit of being technically illegal, if you aren’t, in fact, in Taiwan.
Once you leave Taiwan it’s like you’re dead.

It’s illegal to give someone your winning lottery ticket? How so?
It’s illegal to collect if you’re in another country
Where does it say that?
Where doesn’t it?
Why would it be OK?
Kind of defeats the whole purpose, don’t you think?
Everywhere as far as I can tell
Because it hurts no one
No
Whatevs.
Verdict: It’s totally legal! Yay!
