A man in eastern China has sparked widespread social media attention after winning 10 million yuan ($1.4 million) in a lottery and spending large portions of the prize on a female live-streamer, leaving his wife empty-handed, the South China Morning Post reported.
The woman, surnamed Yuan, shared her story with Henan TV in mid-October after filing for divorce. Married in 2016, the couple lives in Dezhou, Shandong province. Yuan said she felt “betrayed” by her husband.
Lottery win turns sour
Yuan said her husband won the lottery on December 17 last year, taking home 8.14 million yuan after tax. “At first, I was as happy as he was. He told me I could buy anything I liked with the money,” she told reporters.
He also gave her a bank card, which she believed held three million yuan ($420,000). Trusting him, she never checked the account and stored the card in a drawer.
Money spent on gambling
According to SCMP, Yuan claimed her husband’s behaviour soon changed. He became reluctant to give her money, instead gambling by day and tipping women on live-streaming platforms by night. One recipient reportedly received 1.2 million yuan ($168,000).
