[The Epoch Times, January 18, 2024]On January 18, the latest lottery results of China Sports Lottery were questioned once more. On the 17th, “55555” was drawn, and the prize pool of 500 million yuan (RMB, the same below) was emptied. China Sports Lottery says there is no human manipulation. But netizens did not believe this statement.
On the 18th, the topic “China Sports Lottery responded to the lottery number 55555” was on the hot search list on mainland social platforms. On the 17th, the latest lottery results of China Sports Lottery showed that the rare “5 in a row” combination appeared in both “Rank 3” and “Rank 5”.
According to the official website of China Sports Lottery, the national sales volume of “Rank 3” in this period was 48,629,764 yuan, the number of direct winning bets was 86,593, the single bet bonus was 1,040 yuan, and the total payable bonus was 90,056,720 yuan.
The national sales volume of “Rank 5” in this issue was 23,056,924 yuan. The number of first-prize winning bets exploded, with 5,966 bets. The single bet bonus was 84,034 yuan, and the total bonus payable was 501,346,844 yuan.
According to the Financial Associated Press, the statement in the lottery announcement that “the 0.00 yuan bonus will be rolled into the next prize pool” means that the prize pool has been emptied.
“China-Singapore Jingwei” reported on the 18th that China Sports Lottery customer service staff claimed that the winning numbers of the 5-match game appeared randomly, and the “five in a row” situation also complied with the rules of the game, and there was no human control or equipment program failure.
However, mainland netizens left messages expressing disbelief in China Sports Lottery’s explanation.
chinalyf: “Oh my god, this world is so crazy.”
wy5900: “Are you so blatant now? You have been shameless for a long time. I didn’t expect that there is no lower limit.”
Lan Haoyue uG: “Don’t explain, as if no one will believe it.”
Ten thousand years of mountains and rivers: “There is nothing that cannot be manipulated.”
Mu Xiaoyan: “A kind of electronic fraud.”
Before this lottery incident, the China Sports Lottery had issued a lottery jackpot of 220 million yuan in Jiangxi, and a jackpot of 144 million yuan in Guangzhou; the China Sports Lottery even had the number ball stuck during the lottery, but the official excused it by citing “weather factors”. Mainland Internet public opinion expressed that this shows that there is a shady secret behind the Chinese Communist Party’s welfare lottery organization.
