Do I have to donate money to buy the first prize in the lottery?

Article 45 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations on Lottery Management clearly stipulates that lottery issuers, lottery sales agencies, lottery agencies and their staff members shall not ask lottery winners to donate winning prizes for any reason or in any way against their own wishes.

In the past two years, there have been frequent grand prizes in the lottery market, but lottery players, especially those who have won more than 1000 million yuan or even 1 000 million yuan, are often worried about donations. Some media have reported that after receiving the grand prize, the staff will persuade the lottery to donate more, and many media have ranked the donation amount of the lottery. In this regard, many lottery players have complained, "Now prices are soaring, 5 million has been deducted from taxes, and the remaining money is not enough to buy a house in Beijing." It is forbidden to force winners to donate money, which has been recognized by lottery players. "This regulation is very close to the people, and giving love is a voluntary act." As the largest charity in China, lottery players have donated the lottery public welfare fund to public welfare undertakings while buying lottery tickets, and most lottery players also indicated that they will donate some funds to those in need after winning the lottery. "But being forced will change public welfare. Taste. "

In addition, in order to further protect the interests of lottery players, the "Implementation Rules" also stipulates that lottery winners should redeem their prizes within 60 natural days from the date of drawing. Lottery bonuses shall not be paid in currencies other than RMB, in kind or by installments.
