A resident of the Nanchang district in China, who wished to remain anonymous, shared his story of purchasing all available tickets of the Happy 8 lottery — over 50,000 — and winning 30 million dollars. On each ticket, he entered a combination of seven numbers — 40, 41, 42, 44, 63, 64, and 65. The man was able to claim his prize a few days after winning. He added that he is an avid lottery player.
Lotteries in China are under the control of the Ministry of Finance, which has the exclusive right to sell tickets. The proceeds from ticket sales support the healthcare system and various research initiatives in the gambling industry.
