Recently, the news of a "Jiangxi lottery player winning a whopping 220 million yuan in the Welfare Lottery" has been making waves on Chinese social media. Initially, this was seen as an enviable stroke of luck. However, when the details of the winning ticket were exposed, it triggered strong dissatisfaction among netizens. The reason is that the player placed a "precision bet" on the winning numbers and received a series of prizes of 100 thousand yuan. In total it was a staggering 220 million yuan. Not only did this trigger the prize limit, but it also emptied the prize pool. Additionally, this player became the first in Chinese lottery history to receive a prize exceeding 100 million yuan without having to pay taxes. These circumstances appearing together seemed too "coincidental," leading netizens to suspect that there might be some kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation involved in it.
