Man wins 30 million in the lottery and doesn't tell his family - for this reason

A player clears the equivalent of 30 million euros in the lottery.

Guangxi Zhuang - Lotto (6aus49) is not the only lottery where players can win millions.

The lottery winner, known only under the pseudonym "Li", bought 40 tickets for 80 yuan, around eleven euros.

Each ticket contained his seven lucky numbers.

He won 219,200,000 yuan, the equivalent of almost 30 million euros - a fantastic win.

But anyone who thinks that his family, especially his son and his wife, were overjoyed is wrong.

This is a popular method in China to avoid having to make the million-dollar profit public, the newspaper reports.
