Welfare Lottery staff display the 6.22 million yuan winning lottery ticket
The owner of the Yongchuan betting station is visiting and learning at the city's Welfare Lottery Center
"Excuse me, is this where you claim prizes?" At 9 o'clock on the morning of the 17th, a middle-aged man in his thirties rushed into the prize redemption hall of the city's Welfare Lottery Center. After receiving confirmation from the lottery staff, he couldn't wait to reveal that he was Mr. Wang who won the Double Color Ball grand prize last night in Yuzhong District.
An "8+1" compound ticket captures the 6.22 million yuan grand prize
According to Mr. Wang's introduction, on the 16th, while waiting for a friend in Shuixiangzi in Yuzhong District, after half an hour of waiting without seeing his friend, out of boredom, he walked into the No. 40040011 Welfare Lottery betting station located at No. 82 Shuixiangzi, preparing to buy a few Double Color Ball tickets to pass the time.
He chose 8 red balls based on his feeling, then looked at the Double Color Ball trend chart and selected blue ball 03, forming an "8+1" compound ticket.
Early in the morning, he took a taxi to claim the big prize
At around midnight on the 17th, when he saw the Double Color Ball winning numbers in the newspaper, he found they were very close to the numbers he had purchased. He then took out his lottery ticket and carefully compared each number one by one.
"Ah, I've won the grand prize!" Seeing that the numbers on his ticket matched exactly with the numbers published in the newspaper, Mr. Wang felt somewhat incredulous. After taking a deep breath, he double-checked the numbers on the ticket again. There was no mistake; he had indeed won the Double Color Ball grand prize.
He immediately took out his phone and informed his brother about winning the prize. "Are you sure? Don't make a mistake," his brother asked in surprise. "No mistake, I'm going to claim the prize now," he said as he carefully looked at the numbers once more. To avoid any delay, Mr. Wang immediately left home and directly took a taxi to the Welfare Lottery Center to claim the big prize.
Donating 100,000 yuan to care for left-behind children in his hometown
It was learned that Mr. Wang comes from Dianjiang County in our city and currently works in Chaotianmen, Yuzhong District. In his spare time, he enjoys buying Double Color Ball tickets. However, he usually spends only about 10 yuan per purchase. On the day of the win, it happened to be payday, so he chose the "8+1" compound ticket, resulting in winning the 6.22 million yuan Double Color Ball grand prize with a 56-yuan bet.
When asked about the secret to winning, Mr. Wang stated that he believed winning depends on luck and persistence. Since starting to play the lottery 11 years ago, he once won a third prize of 3,000 yuan in the Double Color Ball game. But he never gave up; whenever he had time, he would buy a lottery ticket, believing that one day he would definitely win a big prize.
During the interview, Mr. Wang voluntarily proposed to donate 100,000 yuan to help left-behind rural children in his hometown of Dianjiang. He said, "My wife and I both work in Chongqing, leaving our five-year-old son with his grandparents back in our old home in Dianjiang, which makes him quite lonely. There are many such children (editor's note: rural left-behind children) in Dianjiang. Now that I've won the big prize, I want to help them."
