Is the 5 million prize in the two-color ball a scam? Will there be no one?

The 5 million prize in the two-color ball is not a scam, and many people have won it. The probability of 5 million in the lottery itself is very low. For an individual, this probability can be regarded as 0. However, the number of lottery players in China is very large. Even if the probability is lower, there will always be several winners.

China people adhere to the concept of keeping wealth secret. Many people will not make it public after spending 5 million yuan, but choose to keep it secret. This will make many people think that no one will win the prize, which will lead to misunderstanding as a scam.

The origin of lottery tickets

Lottery is a kind of written certificate printed with numbers or graphics (words), which is purchased by people voluntarily and can prove that the purchaser has won the reward according to certain rules. This is an entertaining game, with fair competition and equal opportunities. Lottery first appeared in ancient Rome two thousand years ago. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a similar lottery in China.

What is of practical significance is the exposition of Nobel Prize winner George Lewis Bolch: Lottery can equally and reasonably satisfy human's natural desire to get rid of moral responsibility, that is, the winner will not have any uneasy psychological burden because of getting rich overnight, and the winner of lottery will not have any moral responsibility or obligation because of strangers.

According to the statement made by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Measures for the Administration of Welfare Lottery in China, welfare lottery refers to securities with numbers, graphics or words printed on them for people to buy voluntarily, and the buyers decide whether to get or not to get bonuses according to specific rules.
