Unfortunately, the winner was never found.
For most of us, we don’t have many assets, but the pressure of life requires us to have enough assets to cope with it. Therefore, people always try to increase their legal income channels as much as possible.
In order to increase their wealth, one of them is buying lottery tickets.
Because the price of a lottery ticket is small, but the prize amount is very large, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, to millions or even tens of millions. It can be said that if you are extremely lucky, you will really win the first prize in the lottery.
If you win the prize, then ordinary people will almost not have to struggle for the rest of their lives, and all life problems will be solved.
Therefore, more and more people are running to buy lottery tickets, hoping that they can win the big prize and get rich overnight. However, there are really people in the world who win the first prize but give up the prize. For example, Hebei won the prize not long ago.
The lottery winner who won the RMB 36 million grand prize had his prize invalidated due to his delay in claiming the prize, making it the highest amount of abandoned prizes in the history of Chinese lottery.
And all of this started more than half a year ago.
Half a year ago, on January 18, the 20008th draw of Lotto was held, and Hebei hit 2 bets and made an additional bet to win the first prize.
Data shows that this lottery ticket came from the same sports lottery store in Shijiazhuang, located in Dongyin Village, Luancheng District, Shijiazhuang. The winning lottery ticket was a single additional ticket with 2 times the investment of 30 yuan, and the single ticket won a prize of 36 million yuan.
Originally, the lottery redemption period was 60 calendar days, but due to the special circumstances in the first half of this year, the Sports Lottery Management Center of the State Sports General Administration issued the "Announcement on Matters Related to the Resumption of the Calculation of the Sports Lottery Prize Redemption Period" on June 22, 2020.
It is pointed out that for computer sports lotteries (including lotto, digital, and guessing sports lotteries) drawn from November 23, 2019 to June 30, 2020, the prize redemption deadline will be extended to August 31, 2020.
But even if it was extended for half a year, the lucky winner still couldn't show up, which was really unfortunate among the lucky ones.
As for why he failed to come to receive the award, the main conjectures are as follows.
The first is a lost lottery ticket. According to the "Implementation Rules of the Lottery Management Regulations", lottery tickets that cannot be correctly identified due to damage, contamination or other reasons will not be redeemed.
However, there are always some careless people who make various mistakes.
In previous cases of abandoned prizes, prizes could not be redeemed because the lottery tickets were damaged.
For example, in 2018, Mr. Sun, who lives in Shanghai, bought a lottery ticket after get off work and unexpectedly won a grand prize of 6.43 million.
However, he put the lottery ticket in his pocket and forgot to take it out.
The clothes were thrown into the washing machine, and the lottery tickets became waste paper.
The last situation is what everyone least wants to see, that is, something happened to the winner half a year ago.
2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year. A sudden COVID-19 epidemic disrupted everyone's plans.
my country's lottery market was forced to press the "pause button" and continues to be affected.
The lives of many property owners and lottery players have also changed.
The previously released "Urgent!"
Last day to redeem prizes!
Who hasn’t received their 36 million or 10 million yet?
》In the announcement about the missing person of the grand prize, a famous reader left a message saying that the grand prize winner may be a person who died of the new crown.
Now it seems that such a conjecture is not completely unreasonable. Of course, this is also the situation we least want to see.
