A lot of people wonder what to do with 5 million lottery tickets. In 2026, the ministry of civil affairs, the ministry of finance, the national tax administration and the national lottery management centre made public the requirement that the entire process be explained in plain language and that the money be received on the same day。
One, remember the three rules, and don't run for nothing
In 2026, it was implemented uniformly throughout the country, and the standards of colour and colour were fully consistent, with no exceptions。
- where to collect: the single-note bonus of over 1 million must be paid to the provincial lottery centre at the place where the tickets were purchased, not to the city, not to the lottery store or to cross the province。
- how long will it take: 60 natural days from the day of the award, after which the award is considered abandoned, and the prize is fully incorporated into the public good and cannot be replaced. The last day is a holiday, which is extended to the next working day。
- who must be present, face check, id check, not accept proxy, commission or remote processing. Minors cannot be rewarded。
Ii. 3 items prepared one day in advance
It is important to be ready before going, and the lack of material at the site will delay time。
1. Original winning lottery ticket: the only prize certificate shall be complete, undamaged, unpaved, 2-dimensional clear. The name and id number are signed in advance on the back to prevent their transfer。
2. Original identity card valid for me: a second identity card within the period of validity and a temporary identity card。
My type of bank card: must be the type of savings card in my name (labour, farm, middle, construction, postal, etc.), category ii and category iii cards are limited in size and do not collect large amounts of money。
Three, 2026, full process, one good day
Walk sequentially, for a full 1-2 hours, and can be closed on the same day。
1. Early appointment + timing (key)
- official service: 95010, 95086。
- confirmation of the location of provincial centres, working hours (general work day, 9-17:00, no rest at noon) and the need for an appointment。
- best processing time: 9 - 11 a. M. Working day, avoiding morning peaks on monday, friday afternoons, holidays and the fastest。
2. Arrival at the centre, entering the closed-exchange award area
- upon arrival at the provincial centre, check first, pick up the number in the hall, indicating that the prize is a million-grade prize and go through a special window。
- staff members are guided into closed-exchange-rate areas, full-time monitoring, privacy protection and access for outsiders。
- the original lottery ticket, the original identity card and the original bank card are handed over to the staff member for verification。
3. Triple verification (core, 10-30 minutes)
- validation of lottery tickets: special machine scans, cross-checking of national award databases, checking of numbers, timing of tickets, distribution points, confirmation of authenticity。
- identification: face-to-face, online verification of identity cards to ensure consistency。
- registration of information: fill in the official `registration of awards ' , if you have completed the personal information, the details of the award, the number of the receipt card, and if you have signed it correctly。
4. Deduction of taxes and proof of presence
- a single-note bonus of over $10,000 is paid at the rate of 20 per cent for personal incidental income tax, which is withheld from the centre on site and is not subject to the tax administration。
- 5 million bonuses, 1 million taxes and 4 million after taxes。
- upon completion of the procedure, the centre issues a certificate of tax and is free to retain it。
5. Transfer of bonuses, current day
- the staff member submits a transfer order and the post-tax bonus is transferred directly to the type of bank card you provide。
- the new 2026 rule provides that a large bonus will be available on the same day and will be available as soon as possible in real time and not later than 24 hours。
Four, three important reminders. Protect yourself from the pit
1. Privacy protection, absolute confidentiality
- the centre is free of charge in respect of hoods, sunglasses, masks, refusals to interview and strict confidentiality of personal information。
- no tickets, no loops, don't tell anyone, avoid unnecessary trouble。
2. Voluntary contributions without tied awards
- interviews, donations of public interest are entirely voluntary and no agency or individual may be forced or disguised。
- no donations, the prizes, the centres。
3. Low-profile travel and safety
- to avoid the loss of lottery tickets or the disclosure of information by driving or driving on their own as far as possible, without taking public transport。
- wear normal clothes and leave as soon as possible。
V. Relevant corrections correctively correctively to be completely responsible
- mistake: the award can be received remotely. Correct: he/she must be present, on-site verified, and remote and proxy invalid。
- misdirection: no money is received without donations. Correct: contributions are voluntary, without prejudice to normal exchange awards, with clear legal guarantees。
- wrong zone: the bonus will wait for days to arrive. Correct: new 2026 rule, due on the day of closure, process discipline and efficiency。
Summary
In mid-2026, 5 million lottery tickets were awarded, the core of which was to go to the provincial centres within 60 days and bring the lottery tickets, identification cards, type i cards, which were processed in a procedural manner, with tax deductions on the same day and the same day. Four million dollars are transferred directly to one's own bank card after tax, which is transparent, safe and secure。
