中國彩票史上現最大棄獎:2500萬元無人領!

The welfare lottery center in east China's Dongguan city has decided to donate more than 20 million yuan or 3 million US dollars in lottery prizes.

近日，中國東莞福彩中心已經決定將超過2000萬元（摺合300萬美元）的鉅獎獎金捐出。

The decision was made after a lottery winner failed to claim a jackpot by the expiration date.

這已決定是由於福彩大獎的得主未能在兌獎截止日期前現身而做出的。

A ticket vendor in the city sold two tickets worth more than 25-million yuan combined.

這2注合計超過2500萬元的頭獎均在東莞市同一投注站投注的。

Yang Xianjun is the manager of the lottery center. He said, "In 2015, lottery tickets sold in our city included 18 winners worth a million-yuan each, and 5 winners worth ten-million-yuan each. The biggest jackpot last year was worth nearly 31 million yuan and the unclaimed 25-million-yuan prize was the second biggest. "

楊獻軍是這家福彩中心的負責人。他表示；“2015年，在我們城市售出的彩票中，共有18名中獎者獲得價值一百萬元的大獎，有5名中獎者獲得價值一千萬元的大獎。而去年最大的大獎的將近接近3100萬元，無人認領的這2500萬元獎金是第二大獎。”

China's lottery rules speculate the prize winner should redeem the prize within 60 days after it is announced. The expired prize money will be put into the welfare fund if no one claims it.

據中國彩票管理條例規定，中獎者應當自開獎之日起60個自然日內兌獎，逾期未兌獎的獎金，將被納入彩票公益金。

The local welfare lottery center donated the money to the welfare fund after no one showed up as of midnight on Monday to claim the winnings.

在星期一午夜之後，依然沒有人來領取獎金，所以當地的福利彩票中心已經將獎金捐贈給了福利基金會。
