A Chinese man, who won a USD 17 million lottery, received the prize wearing a monkey mask in southwest China, state-run media reported today.
This is the biggest prize ever received by its winner in person in the history of the lottery in Yunnan province.
The prize is also the 20th lottery prize over 100 million yuan (USD 15 million) in the history of Chinese double chromosphere lottery, state-run China Daily reported.
But the identity of the winner was disguised behind the mask when he received the prize on Wednesday in Kunming, capital city of Yunnan province, and his name is not known.
The only fact which could be ascertained was that he bought his winning lottery ticket for 20 yuan (USD 3).
