It is rumored on the Internet that Nanchang lottery people spent 100,000 yuan to buy nearly 50,000 lottery tickets, and they can take away 2A huge bonus of 200 million yuan, for a while, everyone began to talk about the identity of this person and the inside story behind it, no one would believe that there would really be someone who only bought a set of numbers for 100,000 yuan and really won the prize, and someone really ran to claim the prize.
Before commenting on this matter, I would like to tell a real-life case:
On November 7, 2022, Edwin Castro, a young man from California, became the winner of the largest lottery in the history of the United States, 20The $400 million prize money was all collected by the young man.
The young billionaire's life since then has been the subject of attention all the time: how many luxury houses he bought, how many luxury cars he bought, where he went on vacation, and how much money he spent.
Isn't it strange why after Castro won the jackpot of 10 billion yuan, he didn't be anonymous, didn't cover his face, and generously let everyone know that he was the lucky one, and he was not afraid of being retaliated against and borrowed by relatives and friends?
Because in California, the identity of any lottery winner is publicly verifiable, and the state even has a special lottery disclosure law that requires winners to publish their names.
The lottery association explained that it was a requirement to disclose the name and identity in order to show that the lottery was run honestly, that the funds were paid to real people, and that the winners shared their real stories to motivate more people to get involved.
After the story is told, it will be said that Nanchang this lottery player, do you think something is wrong?
Yes, if it is such an almost impossible but real case, the best way to dispel all kinds of speculation is to publish the names of the winners.
In addition to the name, how to buy this lottery ticket, ** purchase, the entire redemption process, and even the original lottery ticket can be publicly displayed to the public, because these are not confidential documents, and the announcement will have no impact on the winners.
Some people say that the name is announced, what if the winner is targeted by criminals?
I believe that the winners with huge sums of money have a better way to protect their personal safety, and in the history of the Chinese lottery, there are many news that those anonymous winners have been exposed to robbery and retaliation.
Anonymous or not is not linked to personal safety, such as the California guy mentioned above, others live in a rich area with tens of billions of dollars in their hands, what kind of bodyguards can't be hired?Or do you think that China's security is not as good as that of the United States?
What is more closely related to us ordinary people is whether there is fraud in the lottery itself, and whether there is insider operation?
Sports lottery lottery are social welfare lottery,The prize is composed of countless lottery players,In addition to wanting to let yourself win,It is also a silent contribution to social welfare.
That is to say, the 200 million yuan prize money is contributed by the national lottery players, if it is really ordinary people lucky to buy, then it will benefit one party;If there is an insider in it, there are stakeholders who grabbed the 200 million prize, that is, a property was stolen from the pockets of tens of millions of lottery players across the country, and this kind of stealing is unforgivable.
Moreover, since it is a prize money that is taken out of everyone's pockets, as a funder, it always has the right to ask who the winner is, right?
In this regard, we also hope that the lottery agency, the civil affairs department can set a precedent, public the name of the lottery player who bought 50,000 notes of the same number in one go, as well as the entire winning process, any so-called departmental announcement investigation, its credibility is not as good as a frank public, transparent and true is the best appeasement.
Taking a step back, if everyone knew that the winner was real and innocent, such an honest and frank lottery ticket, wouldn't everyone buy it?
