Man in China gets lottery prize ‘stolen’ after sharing photo of winning ticket online<\/h2>\n

After discovering that he had just won the lottery, a man in China decided to share news of his windfall online, even including a photo of the winning ticket.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for him, one opportunistic member of the group went ahead and used the photo to cash in the winnings.<\/p>\n

Using photos of the winning ticket to steal someone else’s prize<\/h3>\n

According to China Press, the man discovered the ‘theft’ when he went to claim his winnings last Wednesday (12 Nov), only to discover that someone else had already done so.<\/p>\n

He immediately reported the matter to the police, who promptly launched an investigation into the case.<\/p>\n

Police discovered that after the man had shared a photo of his winning ticket online, another man — surnamed Zhao (surname transliterated from Chinese) — forwarded the photo to a lottery official he knew.<\/p>\n

Zhao then used the photo to falsely claim that he had won the lottery. He asked to claim the prize via an online transfer, claiming he was out of town.<\/p>\n

Since the lottery official knew Zhao as a regular customer and the winnings weren’t substantial, he didn’t suspect anything amiss.<\/p>\n

It was only when police arrived to investigate that he realised what had transpired.<\/p>\n

Ended with amicable resolution<\/h3>\n

When contacted by the police, Zhao realised the severity of his actions. He quickly returned the prize money to its rightful owner.<\/p>\n

With the police’s involvement, the two parties were able to reach a peaceful resolution — the victim forgave Zhao for the theft and was able to claim his winnings.<\/p>\n
