One beary happy man in Shanxi province disguised himself in order to collect his 525 Million RMB lottery prize. The man, who is the third biggest lottery winner in China wished to protect his identity as he came to pick up the prize. He came in bearly dressed, as a character from the popular cartoon, ‘Boonie Bears’. We suspect his life may be made unbearable if his identity was known to everyone.
The winner claims that he is a ‘loyal customer’ at the lottery booth and spends roughly 20,000-30,000 a year on lottery tickets.
He has pledged to donate 12 million RMB to charitable organizations and 2 million to earthquake struck regions of Yunnan.

there are smart kookies around here. not all of them want to boast. my wife speaks with high regard of the "truly wealthy", who are indistinguishable from other factory workers at their factories for example, because they dress the same and do the same work on the floor. if you are truly rich, even chinese undersyand that you need to protect yourself. this guy stands a chance of making his wealth generational.

Wearing that bear costume probably saved him about 500 million RMB. Family, friends, co-workers and just anyone on the streets that recognized this guy would all expect him to buy them a VERY expensive dinner with matching LV bags.
