The article continues to describe various other winners' unique ways of collecting their prizes, including costumes and disguises like Transformers, Biohazard characters, and even popular cartoon characters like Spiderman, Sun Wukong (Monkey King), and Hello Kitty.
Ms. Wei yesterday went through a specially arranged green channel at the Foshan Sports Lottery Center to process her check collection. According to the Sports Lottery Management Regulations and at the request of the winner, the Foshan Sports Lottery Center implemented strict confidentiality measures during the check collection process. Relevant personnel from the Foshan Sports Bureau and the Foshan Finance Bureau supervised the entire process on-site.
When Ms. Wei appeared to collect her check, she didn't wear a mask but instead presented herself in a very "cool" manner: wearing a mask, sunglasses, a motorcycle helmet, and a raincoat, completely covering herself up except for her hands.
After completing the award collection procedures, Ms. Wei willingly agreed to hold the grand prize check for photographs and accepted media interviews in the award room. She answered all the journalists' questions succinctly, clearly not wanting to reveal too much information to the outside world.
Upon receiving the check, Ms. Wei expressed that she had already considered carefully over the past ten days and discussed with her family, deciding to donate a portion of her winnings back to society. "I will take out some money and donate it to the Charity Association specifically for the development of sports," she said.
However, when asked if she planned to make the donation immediately and how much, Ms. Wei calmly replied, "This matter will be handled at a specific time later." Subsequently, she took the check and left the Foshan Sports Lottery Center through the green channel.
