LUCK STRIKES TWICE: A lottery enthusiast in Hunan province, China, recently turned a meager 6 yuan (approximately $0.85 USD) into a windfall of 12.56 million yuan (roughly $1.75 million USD), triggering a frenzy of online discussion.
The lucky ticket, purchased for the Super Lotto draw #25087, won the top prize, netting the winner a cool 10.05 million yuan after taxes (around $1.4 million USD). The winner claimed their prize just two days after the draw.
According to reports, the winner is a seasoned lottery player with over a decade of experience, consistently purchasing lottery tickets for modest amounts, typically ranging from just a few yuan to around a dozen, preferring single-line bets.
“I buy lottery tickets for fun. It’s also a way to support public welfare. I never thought I’d win such a big prize!” the man stated in an interview.
The winner emphasized that he views playing the lottery as a small pleasure and a form of micro-philanthropy. He invests limited funds, maintains a balanced perspective, and advises others not to treat the lottery as a form of gambling, but rather to approach it with a level head.
The news has sparked widespread debate online. Some users shared stories of consistent, long-term participation with fixed numbers, resulting in net losses despite annual spending in the hundreds of yuan and only very minor wins.
Others speculated on the underlying market dynamics in the lottery industry. “It seems the lottery isn’t selling so well lately, with stories of unclaimed 7.8 million yuan prizes appearing alongside tales of turning a few yuan into millions,” one commenter remarked, highlighting potential concerns about lottery sales performance.
