A Chinese man lost his case after suing a store owner because he spent over $130,000 on losing lottery tickets. The court dismissed his lawsuit.
Losing a bet can feel upsetting because you invested in something you thought would succeed, only to lose money. However, the lottery is different. You’re competing against a huge number of other people, making it feel less like a personal failure and more like simply being one of many trying their luck.
So, I was reading about this guy in China – they’re just calling him He, which is his last name – and he really took it hard when he lost a ton of money. It sounds like it hit him personally, you know?
According to the South China Morning Post, a man from Hefei is suing a store owner, a salesperson, and the lottery officials for $130,000 (900,000 yuan) after losing a lottery prize.
Man loses court case over losing lottery tickets
A sales agent named Zhang purchased tickets for He, following He’s directions. However, Zhang also reportedly warned He about the potential risks of spending so much money on them.
The report states that he purchased the tickets, but after discovering his loss, he filed a lawsuit against Zhang and the management centre.
He asked to be reimbursed 900,000 yuan for the tickets he purchased, along with any accrued interest. However, a judge threw out the case in early February.
I heard the judge talking to the press after the case, and they basically said that while winning the lottery is possible, it’s way more likely you’ll lose money. They really stressed that people need to be smart and careful when they buy tickets, especially if they’re spending a lot!
Recently, a surprising lottery story came to light. It’s similar to an incident in Norway where the lottery company mistakenly announced thousands of winners and had to issue an apology.
A woman in Virginia won $150,000 after using ChatGPT to help her choose lottery numbers. Remarkably, she decided to donate the entire amount to charity.
