A Chinese man won the jackpot of 24 million yuan (equivalent to 84 billion VND) after 7 years of persistently buying lottery tickets based on the birth dates of family members.
The story of a man surnamed Huang (living in Hefei, Anhui Province, China) winning the jackpot was just revealed when the Chinese welfare lottery Shuang Se Qiu or Double Color Ball announced the results. Huang bought a lottery ticket worth 10 yuan (35 thousand VND) with the numbers he often chose.
On the morning of September 12, Huang went to the Anhui Provincial Welfare Lottery Center to receive his prize. He calmly said: “I have been buying lottery tickets for more than 10 years but have never spent more than 20 yuan (VND70,000) on a single draw. I try to keep the amount within a reasonable range and never really expect to win the jackpot. My mindset is to support charity with my ticket purchases, winning is just a bonus.
When I first started playing, I liked to use random numbers. One day, I read a story about a lottery winner who used a combination of his family members’ birthdays. Inspired by that, in 2017, I decided to do the same with my family’s birthdays and keep the same numbers for 7 years. I never thought I would actually win the big lottery!”
After receiving the 24 million yuan (84 billion VND) prize, Huang donated 100,000 yuan (350 million VND) to the Anhui Provincial Charity Federation. Huang added that he would use the prize money to improve his family's living conditions: "We plan to buy a better house."
Huang's story was reported by The Information Times, causing heated debate on Chinese social media. Netizens admired his luck and perseverance: "Seven years of perseverance, how admirable! And he donated after winning, what a kind heart!"; "Why wasn't I the winner?"...
