Beijing computer sports lottery awarded two 5 million yuan prize to a player last Friday after three consecutive terms' absence in prize awarding, eastday.com reported today.
The winner, 40, with sirname as Xu, got to the lottery center yesterday morning, claiming that he had won a big prize totalling 10 million yuan. He previously planned to take away the bonus twice.
Xu looked calm in face of the momentous life-change event of winning the lottery. He admitted that he had spent 400,000 yuan on lottery before. Xu, who always insisted choosing the lottery number on his own, said that this time's success strengthened his confidence in the ability to choose the lottery number.
