China Issues Soccer Lottery
A long-awaited soccer lottery went public Monday in China's 12 provinces and municipalities after a trial run.
The soccer lottery allows people to bet whether the host team will win, lose or tie in nine matches in the Italy Seria A and four matches in the England Premiership.
China Seria A will also be included in the soccer lottery.
However, the soccer lottery did not sell as swiftly as the previous sports lotteries.
An ordinary lottery lover said that the soccer lottery is too complicated, and he is not familiar with foreign soccer teams.
The middle-aged man bought five tickets for the Fengcai sports lotteries instead.
The trial round of the soccer lottery issue came on October 10. Results were announced on October 15. A total of 166 people won prizes nationwide.
However, three of five Beijingers who won the first prize - 40, 000 yuan (4,837 U.S. dollars) did not pick up the money on time. Lottery officials said that it was possible they did not know they won.
