The more controversial the lottery ticket, the more people buy it?
Recent controversy about the lottery continues,Jiangxi a lottery people spent 100,000 to buy Fucai "Happy 8" won 2The news of the 200 million yuan grand prize has aroused huge heated discussions among netizens. In various doubts, according to reports, because the lottery player's winning amount exceeded the limit of compensation, the single bet bonus can only reach 4475 yuan.
According to the relevant provisions of Fucai, if the winning amount of a single note is more than 10,000 yuan, you need to pay personal income tax, and less than 10,000 yuan does not need to pay tax. Therefore, the lottery player claims 2When the prize of 200 million yuan, there is no need to pay taxes, which also makes it possible for it to become the first 100 million yuan prize winner in the history of Chinese lottery who does not have to pay taxes.
The final conclusion of the investigation of this incident is that all the procedures are legal and valid, and there is no misappropriation of the prize pool funds. 2.The 200 million prize money has already been claimed by the winners.
At the time, many people thought that this matter would affect the sales of lottery tickets,Now it seems,This worry is unnecessary,Lottery sales are not only not affected,Sales have increased significantly.
Young people have become the main force of buying lottery tickets?
There are more and more young people who dream of getting rich overnight, and young people have become the main force to buy lottery tickets.
During the Spring Festival this year, the official account of the Ministry of Finance sent a ** blessing, which attracted millions of netizens to watch and leave messages: I want to pay 45% of the individual income tax and 20% of the accidental income tax. Most of the messages were young people.
Over the years, there have been countless young people who have gone to the temple to draw the lottery with scratch tickets, and their pious expressions and cautious movements have made anyone who sees it believe that at that moment he is really full of expectations for the gods.
A significant increase in lottery ticket sales is not necessarily a good thing?
When I saw this news, I was thinking about a question. Why is everyone's enthusiasm for buying lottery tickets still high in the face of continuous lottery controversy. Do we all really like to do charity, support our country's welfare, or the whole people love sports, for the purchase of sports lottery tickets to support China's sports cause.
Most people buy lottery tickets in the hope that they will get rich overnight. This is not necessarily a good thing.
This reminds people of a joke that every year during the Spring Festival, when everyone does not have much money in hand, there are more people playing cards in the village.
It can not be said that lottery sales are necessarily linked to economic development,But lottery sales can indeed reflect a certain economic phenomenon.
That is, when everyone doesn't have much money in hand, they prefer to be small and big, hoping to get rich quickly.
It can't be said that people who buy lottery tickets are bad, but when everyone goes after a small probability event, our economic development will definitely be affected.
Especially when young people are keen to pursue this myth of getting rich overnight, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?
There is not much difference between buying a lottery ticket and gambling in essence, except that the amount is different.
But buying lottery tickets can still be addictive, and some even lead to their own social tragedies because of their obsession with buying lottery tickets.
Why don't you believe that 100,000 lottery wins 2The myth of 200 million is that this kind of behavior is too extreme and not at all a normal person's behavior.
The purpose of issuing lottery tickets is to raise social welfare funds, and the lottery is a game of probability, not to talk about the popularization of small probability events.
