Everyone buys lottery tickets with the same goal, hoping to get rich overnight. After all, in today's era of fierce competition, it is not easy to make money, and it is even more difficult to start a business. If you can win millions or tens of millions at once, you will not have to worry about the rest of your life, and you can directly retire and enjoy happiness.
The problem is that winning the lottery is completely dependent on luck, some people have bought a lifetime of lottery tickets, spent a lot of costs, and also do homework from time to time, study and study the trend chart, but in the end they have not won the jackpot. Some people are lucky enough to win the jackpot the first time they buy a lottery ticket, which makes other lottery players very envious.
What to look out for after winning the lottery
Some people win the jackpot and look confused and don't know what to do. It should be noted here that after purchasing a lottery ticket, you must keep your lottery ticket properly, because this is the proof that you have won the lottery. If the winner accidentally loses it, or if the lottery ticket is scribbled, it may affect the claim. There is a certain period of time for receiving the prize, it is best to claim the prize in time after finding the winner, if you miss the time, the lottery center will default to the winner abstaining. In addition, when you go to the lottery center to collect the prize, you must wear your id card and the lottery shop to issue a certificate of acceptance.
The amount of lottery winnings is subject to personal income tax, within 10,000 is tax-free, more than 10,000 tax rate is 20%, the more the amount of winning, the higher the personal income tax paid. If the winning amount is 5 million, the individual tax paid is 1 million. Some people will feel unfair, obviously they have won the lottery, but they have to pay so much money. Here we remind everyone that if you violate the regulations and refuse to pay personal taxes, the consequences will be very troublesome. You can think about it from another angle, the bonus is a bonus, and everyone should pay taxes to contribute to society.
Interviews and donations are not necessary
After winning the lottery ticket, the lottery agency will invite the winner to help them promote, give some interviews, etc. Insiders are not advised to address this phenomenon, as interviews may reveal their personal identities or be in danger. Nowadays, some people in society do not do their jobs, they think about how to deceive or steal other people's property, and as soon as they see someone winning the jackpot, they will naturally stare at it. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disclose your identity unnecessarily after winning the lottery. Even when receiving the prize, it is necessary to keep a low profile, and the lottery center will also prepare cartoon clothes for the winners.
In addition, it is about donations, many winners will donate some of the funds to poor areas or some schools. In fact, the donation also depends on the personal will, if the winner does not agree to donate, the lottery center can not be forced. Because the bonuses among some people may be several million, and the maximum amount of tax paid is enough to buy a house, most people do not agree to donate at this time.
All in all, after winning the lottery ticket, you can refuse the interview and donate and run away. There is no need to point fingers at these people, after all, the winners have their own plans, and they have the right to distribute the prize money. If others forcibly ask them to donate, it is moral kidnapping. Think about it from another angle, if you win the lottery, you may not be willing to donate money.
Observations have found that there are fewer people buying lottery tickets today than before, for the simple reason. On the one hand, because the probability in the middle is too low, everyone does not want to continue to waste this money. On the other hand, it is because there has been a lot of negative news in the lottery industry, such as high-level abuse of power to determine the winning list. These news made the lottery players chill, no matter how they bought the lottery tickets, they would not win the lottery, because there are ghosts in the industry. Because of this, many lottery shops are now on the verge of closure.
