I believe that for many people, the lottery is a pastime after tea and dinner, idle to buy a lottery ticket, if not won, it will be used as a public welfare undertaking to support our country, but if you are lucky, 2 yuan lottery ticket can win 5 million, then even if it is to change the trajectory of life, successfully "overnight rich".
It can be said that it is precisely because the basic threshold of the lottery is low enough, only 2 yuan can buy a bet, and the winning lottery is to see luck, relatively fair, so our country's lottery industry will be so hot, according to relevant data data, the current number of lottery players in China has exceeded 300 million, accounting for about 21% of China's overall population, the scale is quite large.
At the same time, according to the relevant data of the Ministry of Finance, in the first three quarters of 2021, China sold a total of 278.531 billion yuan of lottery tickets, an increase of 47.849 billion yuan compared with the same period in 2020, an increase of 20.7% year-on-year, of which the sales of welfare lottery reached 102.25 billion yuan, an increase of 0.3% year-on-year, while the sales of sports lottery reached 176.28 billion yuan, an increase of 36.9% year-on-year, which can be said that both the scale and growth rate are quite amazing.
However, it is worth mentioning that although the lottery sales in 2021 look more eye-catching, if compared with the lottery sales data of previous years, it will be found that the data in 2021 is quite large compared with the data of previous years, according to relevant information, the third quarter performance of the lottery in 2018 and 2019 is 383.498 billion yuan and 315.809 billion yuan, which are much higher than the data of 2021, so what is the reason why the lottery is no longer as popular as in previous years?
Lottery tickets are catty
In fact, the sales of lottery tickets in 2021 have dropped sharply, mainly because many lottery players now believe that the lottery is catty, not fair and just, as evidenced by the fact that many people have not won the lottery for many years, but some people can win many jackpots in a row or once, even to the point of emptying the prize pool.
Like before, there was a lottery player in Dongguan, who won the first prize of 1 bet and the fourth and sixth prizes of 10 bets, with a total of 14.59 million yuan, which is very amazing, so many people think that this bettor is the so-called "insider", so it will win so many prizes, but in fact, this idea is completely wrong.
To know that the lottery itself is very low winning rate, according to the relevant experts calculations, like the big lotto, two-color ball such popular lottery, the winning rate is only a few tens of millions of one, in other words, tens of millions of people have a chance to win, and the lottery as an independent probability event, there is no purchase of more lottery tickets, the higher the winning rate will be, so being able to win the lottery is completely based on luck, and there is no catty.
The lottery winner raised doubts
However, compared with the questioning of the continuous winning of the lottery, an incident that occurred some time ago made many people doubt the lottery again, at the end of November 2021, the hainan sports lottery receiving scene, someone found that a winner of the 48.34 million yuan jackpot had the "China Sports Lottery" logo and part of the text on the clothes, which made many people question that this was the lottery center insiders to receive the prize.
And what is even more speechless is that this "bettor" may have received other awards before, and many people have found that in his award interview video at the end of November, there is a mole on the left side of the neck that is not conspicuous, and the position and size of this mole are very similar to the mole of a lottery player who won 25 million yuan in early February 2021.
Although because of the angle of the interview video, it is not completely certain that the position of the two moles is the same, but the similarities between the two are not only "moles", according to relevant interview reports, these two "lottery players" are called "Mr. Wang", the age is also after 80, and both have more than 10 years of lottery history, it can be said that whether it is wearing sports lottery clothes or suspected of the same person receiving different awards, the lottery has been questioned again.
Not the same person
Is the lottery really catty? In fact, this is not the case, according to the response of Hainan Sports Lottery, the reason why the lottery winners will wear Chinese sports lottery clothes, mainly because the characteristics of the clothes of the lottery winners at that time are more obvious, in order to be able to effectively protect their privacy during the interview, they voluntarily changed their clothes, and from the official website of Hainan Sports Lottery, it can also be seen that the lottery player is not an internal employee of the lottery center, and there is no situation where insiders receive the prize.
As for the question of the same person receiving the award many times, Hainan Sports Lottery concluded after checking with the financial department, the development department and other parties that the two are not the same person, although the relevant staff did not give a direct reply to the problem of the mole on the neck, but the staff also repeatedly said: "Not the same person.".
So in fact, according to the official response, it is not difficult to see that the majority of lottery players' doubts about this matter are unreasonable, to know that Hainan Sports Lottery is after verifying the data in many ways, it is said that the two lottery players are not the same person, as for the moles on the neck, the size of China's population is as high as 1.4 billion, and it is also very normal that there are moles on the necks of 2 people, so what do you think of the "storm" of this lottery? Do you think this is the same person receiving the award?
