US$71m prize claimed in lottery

THE biggest-ever Chinese lottery jackpot was claimed in Beijing yesterday, reported media in the capital.

Winnings total 456,012,832 yuan (US$71,639,616), after a tax deduction of 114,003,208 yuan.

The winner, said to be a middle-aged man, bought 110 tickets choosing the same number combination in the "Dual-Colored Balls" lottery from a kiosk in Beijing's Sanlitun area. The previous record in China's lottery was held by a Zhejiang Province resident who scooped 565 million yuan, before tax.
