Is the lottery market unpopular?
According to the website of the Ministry of Finance, the large year-on-year decline in lottery was mainly affected by the policy adjustment of high-frequency quick-open lottery games and guessing lottery game rules at the beginning of the year, as well as the first lottery closing during the National Day.
The so-called high-frequency quick-opening games are games that may take less than ten minutes from sale to lottery draw. If the number of times is not limited, lottery players can easily play until they can't stop, or even lose their minds.
On January 28, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the General Administration of Sports issued a notice requiring adjustments to the rules of high-frequency quick-open lottery games and guessing lottery games, and strengthening lottery market supervision. The
notice shows that in recent years, my country's lottery industry has generally shown a trend of sustained and healthy development. At the same time, there are still irrational lottery purchases in the lottery market such as unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets and large-amount bets, especially welfare lottery quick-open games and sports lottery high-frequency games, and sports lottery national network single-game guessing game market supervision It needs to be strengthened urgently.

The notice clarifies that starting from 2019, the number of games and events on sale for a single guessing game throughout the year shall not exceed 70% of the number of games and events on sale in 2018.From the date of announcement of the notice, lottery sales agencies are not allowed to add new sales terminals for high-frequency quick-open games and single-game guessing games, and are not allowed to carry out any form of prize distribution and promotion activities for high-frequency quick-open games and single-game guessing games. Starting from February 11, if the sales time of each issue of high-frequency quick-opening games is shorter than 20 minutes, it will be adjusted to 20 minutes.
Building a standardized lottery market
In recent years, there has been a lot of chaos in the lottery market. Relevant departments are gradually introducing relevant measures to standardize management to get the lottery market back on track.
After cracking down on Internet lottery sales for many years, starting from June 20 last year, many Internet lottery sales platforms have suspended sales, including the leading online lottery sales "Tian Tian Zhong Lottery" and "Everyone Wins Lottery". Twelve central departments including the Ministry of Finance issued an announcement last year, strictly prohibiting any company or individual from using the Internet to sell lottery tickets without authorization, and clearly stated that they will severely crack down on any form of illegal and illegal business activities such as online private lottery and online gambling carried out in the name of lottery.
On November 9 last year, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published a long article of more than 4,000 words, titled "Pay equal attention to reducing curbs, address both the symptoms and root causes, and rebuild the credibility of welfare lottery. The Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will start from typical cases to promote the formation of good politics." Ecology".
Seeing that lottery sales have been declining for nine consecutive months, netizens have expressed their opinions: "If you want to know what hope is, buy a lottery ticket; if you want to know what despair is, buy a bunch of lottery tickets", "When will the live broadcast If the lottery draws, I will consider buying lottery tickets again.”
In fact, building a standardized and fair lottery market is the aspiration of the majority of lottery players. For lottery players, buying lottery tickets has the hope of getting rich on the one hand, but more often it is just for fun and to taste some "sweetness" from time to time.
Mr. Zhongzheng reminds everyone that small entertainment is only for pleasure, and down-to-earth is the truth. A happy life must be fought with both hands!
