The BC Lottery Corporation had to shut down its Play Now online casino gambling site on its launch day as a result of security compromise causing the leak of personal information of account holders. An attempt to re-launch the site has actually failed too, as gamblers other than account holders were still able to access player accounts and important security data was accessible too.

Unfortunately the account breach is still active, and the company has not overcome the security issues yet. Initial reports say that the security breach compromised some player accounts and at least $8,000 was wagered illegally.

China’s biggest ever lottery prize has finally been taken home. A winning ticket worth 360 million Yuan ($52.7 million) and announced on October 8, 2009 was bought in Anyang of Henan by a middle-aged man surnamed An. However, it took authorities several weeks to identify the winner.

In China, lottery winners are required to collect money within two month after paying 20% of the amount in taxes. If a winner decides to donate, he/she doesn’t pay tax on the donated money. This time winner decided to donate 10 million Yuan to Henan Charity Federation and 600,000 yuan to Yan Mengmeng – a Henan girl suffering from uremia. So, in view of that, An will have to pay 69.9 million Yuan in taxes instead of 72 million.

This winning is unbelievably huge for an average China’s resident. With the average annual income of about 30,000 Yuan, Chinese residents would have to work more than 9,600 years to earn the equivalent sum of An’s winning.

An is going to maintain his current life style and invest some of the winning into his business.
