A 15-year-old boy in Puyang City, Henan Province, mainland China, recently became addicted to watching live broadcasts of lottery draws. Without telling his family, he secretly recharged all his sister’s gift money and family savings into the lottery, and lost all his money until he left any penny. The boy’s father nearly collapsed after learning about it. He couldn’t help but burst into tears, saying, “170,000 in betrothal gifts and 30,000 in salary, not even a penny is left. It’s all over.”
It is understood that the boy’s relatives revealed, “The family situation was originally relatively difficult. The boy’s father had an accident last year and broke both legs and lost the ability to work. Now all the money is gone. It looks pitiful.” The boy’s sister said, “Originally, I planned to keep the gift money for my brother to buy a house when he gets married, who knew this would happen.”
According to local media reports, when the boy was watching a live broadcast recently, he discovered a small blind box lottery game. He was instantly attracted to it and thought he could make some money. Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap while playing and unknowingly lost all his family’s money. I used it to recharge, totaling RMB 150,000 (approximately NT$655,000), and another 20,000 (approximately NT$87,000) for food, drink, and fun, totaling 170,000 (approximately NT$730,000).
As soon as this incident came out, netizens talked a lot. Many people said frankly that these live lottery platforms should be severely punished for luring users with gambling-like games, especially minors who have no discernment and are prone to making mistakes. Some netizens believe that boys How did he learn the bank card password when he was only 15 years old? The elders did not supervise him properly. Others stood on the other side and questioned why his sister kept all the gift money. 15 years old is not young anymore and you should be responsible for your own actions. I only recharged 150,000 and used the remaining money for food, drink and fun. It’s scary to think about it.
In fact, blind box lottery games on live broadcast platforms are of a gambling nature and should indeed be strictly supervised and rectified. In recent years, many cases have occurred repeatedly, and it is unknown how many people’s lives have been rewritten and how many families have been broken. In addition, the boy’s family should also bear the responsibility, as the guardian, the supervision is not in place. The boy himself is not very sensible, and his family situation is relatively difficult. Not to mention the live lottery recharge, adults who spend tens of thousands of dollars on food and drink do not dare to be so casual.
