I am surprised there are people who actually support this. It sounds like he's controlling.

EXACTLY what I was thinking.. the Chinese like to gamble though that is a fact.. I think this a fable.. yes. Anyone who has that kind of money could hire a personal training staff, put an indoor pool in house. GET THE HELL OUT OF CHINA .. buy their own Island and work out and have the best cuisine in the world. and never have to answer a phone again. all calls and postcards would be outgoing and by request only.

She's going to be p*ssed for sure. I suspect the true reason he's hiding the win from his family is he doesn't want his wife to find out how much he's been spending on lotto all these years.

I've read elsewhere that it's common practice for players in China to appear in a costume when collecting their winnings. G5

The article did not state the winner planned to never tell his family. It is not uncommon for trust funds for children to become effective at 25 or even 30 years old.

I believe the costume was to further hide his identity.

Strange to me that he would be criticized for worrying about his family.

Money changes people it certainly does. Here is an example of the money bringing out some sickness of this person. Wealthy individuals instill good values in spite of the money. Who says you can't share the fortune with family and maintain a good work ethic? Maybe he is too controlling and insecure. Also in need of attention, claiming the prize in a bright yellow costume

He sounds like he worries too much. No fun at all.

I understand what he did. Money changes people and if you did not have to work for what you have, you would be a very different person. Let the children know about the money after they get a good education and their first jobs.

Welp, what an A-hole. He can take it easy while they work until they drop.

If you can't trust your family, who can you trust?.

The little devil in me is saying that this guy might just have an ulterior motive. Perhaps a side chick stashed away somewhere, waiting for the day they can go galivanting in the south of France.

Ancient Chinese secret: tell your family the truth to maintain that family trust. Once you lose that trust, it is very hard to get back.

By Kate Northrop

A man who won a 219 million yuan ($30.5 million) lottery jackpot kept the news from his wife and child, fearing that the extra fortune would curb their motivation.

Somewhere in China near the town of Litang, there's a family out there that has no idea they're sitting on a huge lottery haul.

An anonymous winner, known as Li, finally had the luckiest day of his life after playing the same numbers for ten years. He wou... [ More ]
