In everyday life, some of the so-called “high returns” may seem tempting, while risks are hidden. Not only will it cost us our hard money, it may also affect family harmony and disrupt normal life. This is a reminder of the need to be vigilant in order to avoid all kinds of charades and protect their property and secure their lives。
In 2025, seonkawa citizen li was directed to download the lottery app and join the lottery buying group. At the instigation of the “teacher”, he went from a small water test to a large investment of over $400,000, before being deceived until the presentation failed。
Similar encounters are not an example. Also in ningxia, mr. Zhang of ho lan county saw a lottery ad while painting a short video and was lured to download an app. Upon registration, the “client service” made an active contact, claiming that “internal personnel may provide precise numbers, which require verification of funding”. Mr. Zhang made multiple transfers, with a final loss of $75,000。
The victims were struck by “internal information” such as the “high rate of compensation” and fell into the trap of illegal lottery。
What is “colour”
The exact term “black lottery” should be “illegal lottery”. In accordance with article 7 of the regulations on the administration of lottery, illegal lottery tickets are those issued or sold in any manner contrary to the provisions of the regulations on the administration of lottery. These include: the issuance and sale of lottery tickets in addition to the welfare lottery and sports lottery tickets without the permission of the state council; the issuance and sale of foreign lottery tickets in the territory of the people's republic of china without the permission of the ministry of finance; the issuance and sale of welfare lottery tickets, sports lottery varieties and lottery games without the permission of the ministry of finance; the sale of welfare lottery tickets and sports lottery tickets without the authorization of the lottery issuer or the lottery sales agency; and the unauthorized use of the internet。
Currently, only the chinese welfare lottery and the chinese sports lottery are issued with the approval of the state council. Otherwise, they are illegal lottery tickets。
Common “colleagues” include underground colours where the off-shore “six lottery” number is used; underground gambling with major sporting events, such as the world cup and the european cup, for which the results are the object of a bet; “shrunk” lottery tickets, which screen the service with a number and actually keep the money; and online illegal lottery tickets sold through websites, app and other channels without the approval of the ministry of finance。
The danger of “colour”
It directly jeopardizes the financial security of participants. The flow of regular lottery funds is under state supervision and payment is protected by law. However, the direct flow of the proceeds into private accounts or illegal platforms will make it difficult to recover the inputs of the participants once the dealers have absconded or have refused to pay under various pretexts。
Attraction is induced by a high rate of profitability, which tends to give rise to speculation among participants. Long-term participation not only consumes personal savings but also affects the economic situation of families, triggers debt disputes and disrupts normal living order. Lottery funds are often associated with criminal activities such as money-laundering and illegal fund-raising, disrupting the financial and lottery markets and undermining the public good。
There are also legal risks associated with the purchase of charades, which may involve administrative penalties and even criminal liability. The legal consequences of operating the lottery are even more serious. In 2024, wu xiao of henan lodong was sentenced by the court to three years ' imprisonment and a fine of $30,000 for the offence of opening a casino for gambling for a sum of more than 6. 2 million yuan in gambling。
Iii. How to identify illegal lottery tickets
Although the form of the illegal lottery has varied, there is evidence that it can be distinguished from:
I don't know. First, it is confirmed whether it belongs to the chinese welfare lottery or the chinese sports lottery. Only two of these are licensed by the state council, except for illegal lottery tickets。
Second reading approval. The sale of lottery games must be approved by the ministry of finance, including the name of the game, the rules, the manner of distribution, the scope of distribution, etc。
Triple commission. In accordance with, inter alia, the provisions of the lottery regulations, the regulations implementing the lottery regulations, the regular lotteries are sold at the place of sale with the lottery subsidy certificate issued by the lottery sales agency and are displayed in a prominent location at the place of sale. The purchaser has the right to check and request the issuer to produce the certificate, the authenticity of which is confirmed by the lottery agency。
Four channels. Our country is currently firmly prohibiting unauthorized use of the internet for the sale of lottery tickets. The sale of lottery tickets through web sites, app and other online channels is illegal。
Iv. Recommendations for security procurement
For the purchase of lottery tickets, please visit the regular lottery entity store. You can buy lottery tickets from the welfare lottery entity store with a valid lottery subsidy, deal face-to-face and present tickets。
Rational participation, moderate lottery. Participation for the purpose of public goods and entertainment does not impose an economic burden. China's welfare lottery has always advocated: many people buy less, raise more money, do more, and earn more money。
Lottery is a chance game, and lottery awards are a stand-alone random event, and no institution or individual can predict the outcome. All those who claim to be “stable and uncompensated” are “experts' forecasts” of the “high payback” “the inside of the prize”, contrary to the basic rules of the lottery, are fraudulent and conceal illegal lottery schemes behind their backs. Please be vigilant and beware of deception。
It is not only the avoidance of legal risk but also responsibility for personal property and family life. Let us all stand up against the charisma and build a solid line of defence for the safe。
