A Chinese delivery worker, Yao, won a 10 million yuan lottery but was unable to claim it after the winning ticket was fraudulently claimed by Wang's cousin, Gao. Despite a court ruling in Yao's favor, he is yet to receive the compensation due to Gao and Wang's financial instability.
A Chinese court ruled in favor of a delivery worker named Yao who sued to reclaim his 10 million yuan (RM6.1 million) lottery prize after it was fraudulently claimed by Wang's cousin, Gao. After a five-year legal battle , Yao is yet to receive any compensation. The case dates back to July 2019 when Yao transferred 20 yuan (RM12.25) to Wang to purchase two lottery tickets.
Wang later sent photos of the tickets to Yao via social media, but when one of the tickets won the jackpot, Wang claimed he had sent the wrong photo. As compensation, Wang offered 150,000 yuan (RM91,878) and deleted their chat history after Yao signed an agreement. However, two months later, Yao discovered that Gao had claimed the prize and received 8 million yuan (RM4.9 million) after taxes. The court ruled that Gao must return the prize money to Yao, with Wang also held jointly responsible. Gao appealed, but in July, the Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court upheld the original decision. Despite the court ruling, both Gao and Wang’s bank accounts are empty, and their properties, put up for auction, have failed to attract buyers. Yao, who earns 3,000 yuan (RM1,836) a month, said he spent all his savings and borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan to pay for lawyers. His lawyer plans to request a court investigation into the whereabouts of the prize money
