China hit the largest jackpot in the country's history

The largest jackpot in the country’s history was hit in China. It was won by a 28-year-old resident of Guizhou province, who became the owner of a lottery prize of 680 million yuan.

It is known that the man bought 133 tickets, each of which cost 2 yuan. On each ticket he bet on the same group of 7 numbers. And, as it turned out, each ticket brought its owner money in the amount of 5.16 million yuan.

The winner wanted to remain anonymous. But it is known that he has a small business in Anshun City. He commented on his victory, saying that he received a message about a big win on his phone at night. The man was so excited that he couldn’t even sleep. At first he didn’t believe it, so he checked everything several times.

The winner also noted that he had previously researched the trend of winning numbers in previous lottery drawings. He selected some of them to bet on and also added one of his lucky numbers.

Before a man receives his winnings, one-fifth of the prize won will be withheld from him. Thus, he will receive 544 million yuan.

This jackpot updated the record for Chinese lotteries. Previously, the largest prize was considered to be 570 million yuan. Its owner was a player from Beijing in 2012.
