On July 17, 2019, Yao Min, a water delivery worker in Xi'an, sent a 20 yuan red envelope to wang xu, the owner of the lottery shop, as usual, asking him to help buy ten lottery tickets. It didn't take long for Wang Xu to send two photos of the lottery tickets.
At 8:30 p.m. that night, the lottery was drawn, and Yao Min stared at the lottery process and watched the first prize draw numbers one by one: 06, 18, 20, 21, 31, 03, 04.
Yao Min bet one bet after another compared to the lottery tickets he bought, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that one of his lottery tickets actually won the first prize, and the prize money was 10 million, and he suddenly felt that his blood was gushing.
Yao Min has always had the habit of buying lottery tickets, buying hundreds of yuan every month, but in so many years, it is a small prize, and the most time is only 3,000 yuan. But has been insisting on buying, sometimes there is no time to go to the lottery store, just send WeChat directly to let the boss help buy, one after two to reach a tacit understanding.
This time, yao min actually won the jackpot, and Yao Min felt particularly incredible. But thinking that the lottery ticket is not in his own hands at present, and the redemption of the prize must be held by himself, he forced himself to endure the joy and came to Wang Xu's lottery shop.
At that time, Wang Xu was not in the store, only his mother was helping to watch the store. Yao Min searched for a while, but did not find the winning lottery ticket.
He quickly called Wang Xu and asked for his lottery ticket. Wang Xu was drinking with his friends at the time, and was disturbed by Yao Min, who seemed a little unhappy, and he muttered in his mouth: "How big a prize can I win?"
At ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Xu finally returned to the store, along with zheng Shaowei, the lottery administrator.
At this time, Wang Xu already knew that the lottery ticket had opened a 10 million jackpot, and the first thing he said when he saw Yao Min was: "The lottery ticket was issued by the wrong brother."
Wang Xu explained that this lottery ticket was bought by someone else, and he accidentally gave it to him, and now the lottery ticket has been returned to the original owner.
Hearing this, Yao Min was suddenly confused, his blood pressure began to soar, and he couldn't stand up.
It was not easy to win the 10 million jackpot, I can't save so much money in my lifetime, how to say that I flew?
Seeing that he did not believe it, Zheng Shaowei, the lottery administrator on the side, said that Wang Xu was also honest and would not deceive people, and if he said such a big thing, he lied to you and you were going to go to jail.
Hearing Zheng Shaowei say this, Yao Min had to go home first. Because he didn't get the lottery ticket, he didn't tell his family about it.
However, after going back, he always felt that something was wrong, and went to Wang Xu's lottery shop early the next morning.
Just as Zheng Shaowei was also there, Wang Xu explained this time that at one o'clock in the afternoon, a customer came to the store, handwritten a set of numbers, it was this group of numbers that hit 18 million and 10 million respectively, and he also showed Yao Min this handwritten original.
Wang Xu also said that this guest also made a bet, so the two awards in this issue are among this person.
Here to explain to you, the increase means that a lottery ticket is originally two yuan, you can add another dollar, so that the prize can be increased by 80%.
Seeing the handwritten original that Wang Xu showed, Yao Min believed that it was indeed he who had mistakenly sent other people's lottery tickets to himself. But I still feel unwilling, after all, I am empty and happy.
At this time, zheng Shaowei, the lottery administrator, proposed that due to Wang Xu's mistake, Yao Min had caused mental damage, and it was reasonable to compensate.
The two sides began to negotiate, and finally decided that Wang Xu would compensate Yao Min for 150,000 yuan, and then the matter would not be pursued. Then the two signed an agreement and deleted the chat history of buying lottery tickets on WeChat.
Although he got 150,000 yuan, Yao Min was still a little uneasy. He came to the Shaanxi Provincial Lottery Management Center and asked the staff to verify the accurate ticket time of the winning lottery ticket.
The staff told him that the ticketing time for the winning lottery ticket was more than one o'clock.
From the perspective of time, it is basically the same as what Wang Xu said. Yao Min also wanted to ask the winner's name, but was refused. However, he finally dispelled the doubts in his heart and decided that this winning storm was a big oolong.
However, a few days later, the first prize winner appeared at the Shaanxi Provincial Lottery Management Center to claim the prize, and at the scene of the prize redemption, the jackpot winner wrapped himself tightly and showed his lottery ticket that won the 18 million jackpot.
Then the reporter interviewed the grand prize winner, didn't he say that there is also a 10 million lottery ticket that is also among you?
The grand prize winner has repeatedly denied it, saying that he only won 18 million, and the other 10 million has nothing to do with him.
The incident was then widely publicized by the media, and it happened that Yao Min also saw the incident in the newspaper.
At that time, he felt that he must have been deceived by Wang Xu. Wang Xu said that the two jackpots were one of the two, and now it seems that the 10 million winning lottery ticket must be his own.
He then confronted Wang Xu, who was busy holding a celebration ceremony for the lottery store to open two jackpots, hoping to attract more customers.
He impatiently told Yao Min that if he had not already signed the agreement, how could he still come to pester.
But Yao Min insisted that the winning lottery ticket was his own, and asked him to return it.
Then the two quarreled, and both sides insisted on their own opinions, not knowing who was telling the truth.
Seeing that Wang Xu refused to hand over this huge lottery ticket, Yao Min had to go to the police station to report to the police. However, the police said that because the lottery ticket has not been redeemed, it is impossible to determine the ownership of the lottery ticket, so the case cannot be filed for the time being.
Yao Min had to seek help from a lawyer, and he found Yu Shengxiu, a lawyer who was famous in the field. The lawyer believes that the lottery shop operated by Wang Xu is a business outlet of the Shaanxi Provincial Sports Lottery Center, and the Shaanxi Provincial Sports Lottery Center should bear legal responsibility for Wang Xu's lottery sales.
Subsequently, with the help of lawyers, Yao Min sued Wang Xu and his wife and the Shaanxi Provincial Sports Lottery Center in court, and asked the court to order Wang Xu to return the lottery ticket that won 10 million yuan.
Because he was worried that during the litigation, Wang Xu would redeem the lottery ticket, so Yao Min and his lawyer entrusted the Shaanxi Provincial Sports Lottery Center to suspend the payment of the winning lottery ticket and wait for the case to be paid after the end of the case, and the Sports Lottery Center also agreed to Yao Min's request.
On September 4, 2019, the day the court officially filed the case, Yao Min received a call from the lawyer representing the Sports Lottery Center.
The lawyer said that the next day the winner would go to the sports lottery center to collect the prize, suggesting that they could go to the lottery center to guard the winner.
This made Yao Min and his lawyers scramble at once, and once the lottery ticket was redeemed, even if the lottery ticket was won, it would be even more difficult to recover the prize money.
Early the next morning, Yao Min and his lawyer came to the door of the sports lottery center to guard, but the two were dumbfounded, and there were so many people in and out of the sports lottery center, and no one knew who had taken the prize.
The lawyer had to apply for an investigation order and confirmed to the Sports Lottery Center that the man named Gao Jun had taken the 10 million yuan prize that day.
Upon hearing this name, Yao Min was dumbfounded, because he knew that Gao Jun was actually Wang Xu's cousin.
The appearance of the name Gao Jun further verified Yao Min's judgment.
He determined that this must be a trap set by Wang Xu for himself, and after Wang Xu confirmed that the lottery won, he changed his mouth to send the winning lottery ticket to himself because of a mistake, and then drew up a compensation agreement, wanting to send himself with 150,000 yuan, and then came to a stealing beam to change the pillar, hiding the sky and crossing the sea.
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to see the media reports from the newspaper, Yao Min was really blinded by Wang Xu.
However, there is a doubt here, on the same day, Yao Min let Wang Xu buy a lottery ticket, the number is completely random, but the number on the lottery ticket he sent to himself can be clearly seen to have a certain regularity.
Yao Min asked for help from many old investors, who speculated that it was very likely that the shareholder had written the number at that time and let Wang Xu raise the bet, but Wang Xu forgot to raise the bet and had to play another lottery ticket. If the excess lottery ticket is not disposed of, the loss can only be borne by yourself.
It just so happened that in the afternoon, Yao Min sent a WeChat message to ask him to help buy lottery tickets, so Wang Xu sent him the lottery ticket that he had played wrong. Afterwards, I found that I had won the lottery, so I lied that I had issued the wrong lottery ticket, in fact, I wanted to take it for myself.
But these are only speculations, although very reasonable, but because there is no evidence, it does not explain anything.
Although the court filed the case, it was caught in a contradiction in procedure.
Because Yao Min and Wang Xu had signed a compensation agreement before, if they recognized this agreement, it meant that Yao Min admitted that Wang Xu had made an operational error, mis-sent the lottery ticket to himself, and agreed to accept compensation. Then you can't continue to ask for 10 million winning tickets.
In other words, fish and bear paws can not have both, in order to continue to chase away the 10 million winning lottery tickets, you must first sue the court to abolish the previous agreement, and then continue to pursue the winning lottery tickets after the settlement agreement case is decided to prosecute.
Of course, Yao Min chose to give up 150,000 and continue to recover 10 million.
On February 11, 2021, the Enyi District People's Court rendered a first-instance judgment revoking the settlement agreement signed by Yao Min and Wang Xu.
The reason is that Yao Min's time from learning that he won the lottery to signing an agreement with Wang Xu was short, and the status and information of both sides in the ownership of the lottery were unequal. In this case, Yao Min is not enough to make a rational judgment on the content of the agreement.
On May 14, 2021, the Enyi District People's Court heard the case. In court, Wang Xu continued to defend himself.
In response to the lottery ticket, he explained that a middle-aged man of about 50 years old came to the store at noon that day, handwritten 5 sets of numbers, and asked to be raised. But he played too fast, forgot to raise the ticket, so he secretly put away the wrong lottery ticket and re-raised one and handed it to the other party.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, his cousin Gao Jun came to the store, and he sold the lottery ticket to his cousin.
But the contradiction is that if Wang Xu had already sold the lottery ticket to his cousin Gao Jun at two o'clock, then why did he send the lottery ticket to Yao Min at five o'clock in the afternoon?
The judge asked Wang Xu to provide evidence that the two had a transaction, but Wang Xu could not come up with it. The judge rejected the claim that he sold the lottery ticket to his cousin on the grounds that he could not provide the corresponding evidence to prove that the two sides had purchased the lottery ticket.
And there is also a suspicious point, because this lottery ticket is denominated at ten yuan, and the time of playing is more than one o'clock in the afternoon. And Yao Min sent twenty yuan at more than five o'clock in the afternoon, so Wang Xu played a lottery ticket with a denomination of ten yuan at five o'clock, and before taking pictures and sending it to Yao Min, he deliberately put this lottery ticket that had just been played on it, covering the time of the lottery ticket that was played a little more.
Wang Xu's intention was obvious, that is, he did not want Yao Min to know that he had sold him the excess lottery tickets.
Wang Xu explained this, because before Yao Min credited the account, he thought that Yao Min sent 20 yuan, of which 10 yuan was used to repay the account, and the remaining 10 yuan was used to buy lottery tickets. So I should have given him one lottery ticket, but I mistakenly sent him two.
As soon as he said this, he immediately annoyed the judge, who directly said that we are not three-year-old children.
In the end, the court made a first-instance judgment, holding that "the transaction agreement between the two parties has reached an agreement and is in line with the previous trading habits, and Wang Xu should deliver the lottery ticket according to the agreement." ”
However, Wang Xu was still not satisfied, and then filed an appeal.
Before the second trial, Wang Xu approached Yao Min several times, hoping to take out 3 million yuan for reconciliation. However, Yao Min felt that he could obviously get 10 million yuan, why should he accept his 3 million, so he refused Wang Xu's request to reconcile.
After being rejected, Wang Xu was particularly annoyed and said on the phone: "It doesn't matter if the lawsuit is lost or won, there is no money, I can take a knife and kill all the people in your house, I can do this." ”
But in the end he denied that he had ever said these things.
On October 28, 2021, the Xi'an Intermediate People's Court finally ruled that the lottery ticket belonged to Yao Min.
Although Yao Min won the case, because the lottery ticket has been exchanged and the money has been taken away, he still has not returned the money.
Gao Jun, who took the 10 million yuan bonus, did not show up for a long time, and Wang Xu also refused to return the money to Yao Min, which seems to have entered a dead end.
Yao Min was also listed as a dishonest executor, because he had previously revoked the compensation agreement between the two, and he needed to return 150,000 yuan to Wang Xu. But thinking that Wang Xu would not pay back his bonus, he refused to return the money first.
In order to recover the bonus, Yao Min went to the police station again and requested the public security organs to file a case for investigation on the grounds that Wang Xu, Gao Jun, and others conspired to deceive themselves and steal the bonus. However, after waiting for more than a month, the police refused to file the case, on the grounds that: "The materials you submitted have not found any criminal facts after our investigation." ”
This road did not work, Yao Min joined hands with lawyers, and began to think of other ways, must get back the bonus for himself, but so far he still has not got what he wanted.
His own life was also disturbed by this incident, and he was listless all day and mentally tormented.
His daughter was also affected by this incident, which led to the dysfunctional performance of the middle school entrance examination, and finally went to a normal school.
Since this incident, Wang Xu's life has also been greatly affected. Especially after the court awarded the lottery ticket to Yao Min, in the eyes of the locals, he became a dishonest liar.
And engaged in the lottery industry, the most important thing is the credibility, lost credibility, everyone is not willing to go to his store to buy lottery tickets. Friends around him also seem to be interested in keeping their distance from him, and he rarely receives invitations from others.
Through this incident, we have seen how fragile human nature is in the face of great interests. Once the interest reaches a person's psychological threshold, the moral bottom line can easily be broken.
So how do you avoid this from happening again?
As a lottery practitioner, you should abide by the laws and regulations of the country and refuse any form of online lottery trading.
As an individual, you should adhere to the principle of integrity and firmly adhere to your own bottom line. In this way, even in the face of temptation, you can make the right choice.
Once you destroy the scale in your heart, you will eventually harm others and harm yourself, and the gain will not be worth the loss!
