Recently, the Shaanxi Provincial Welfare Lottery Center welcomed a special lottery player—Mr. Liu (a pseudonym) who lives in the High-tech Zone of Xi'an. He used AI to write a number-selection mini-program and won a major prize in Welfare Lottery Happy 8, claiming 5.08 million yuan. At the prize-claiming scene, Mr. Liu recounted his lottery-playing experience. "I've been playing Welfare Lottery Happy 8 for about two months. Because I have some debt pressure and no other good options, I thought I'd give it a try—just try Happy 8. Each time I spend about 100 to 300 yuan. I don't play every draw; sometimes I may not have time, so I skip it."
In terms of number selection, Mr. Liu used AI to assist in writing a number-selection mini-program. "With this number-selection mini-program, I let the AI choose 20 numbers out of 80, and then I revise among those 20 numbers. Based on repeated numbers, consecutive numbers, and the distribution, I manually revise it again—that's how I pick."
Going back to August 28, Mr. Liu used the mini-program to select 20 numbers, and unexpectedly it laid the groundwork for good fortune. "I used this mini-program to select these 20 numbers, and I also chose these 6 groups of '11 pick ten' myself, spending more than 130 yuan. It was after 8 p.m. when I went to the betting station to print the tickets. Among them, one group of '11 pick ten' won (the big prize)."
The betting station Mr. Liu mentioned is Welfare Lottery Station No. 61012743 in Longgangcheng, High-tech Zone, Xi'an, and the ticket was issued at 20:27 that day. That night, the Welfare Lottery Happy 8 game's draw No. 2026230 took place, and across the country there was 1 winning bet in "Pick Ten Hit Ten," with a single-bet prize of 5 million yuan. This sole national grand prize landed on one of Mr. Liu's 11-number Pick Ten multiple-entry tickets. The ticket matched 10 winning numbers and won 1 bet of "Pick Ten Hit Ten" and 10 bets of "Pick Ten Hit Nine," taking home 5.08 million yuan in prize money.
At around 9:40 p.m., Mr. Liu used his phone to check the Happy 8 winning numbers, and when checking the tickets he found that one of them had matched 10 numbers. "At the time I didn't quite dare to confirm it. I only told my father the next morning." Mr. Liu's father didn't quite believe it at first either. After it was confirmed later, he was quite excited and very happy.
