2004. In a 17 million (US$2 million) China Sports Lottery in Xi'an in

120,000 yuan (US$14,500) and a new BMW car worth of 480,000 yuan
(US$58,000). But the lottery center claimed that Liu held a fake lottery
ticket, prompting Liu to take the center to court. After
investigations, The court found that Yang Yongming, contractor of the
lottery ticket selling cheated on four top prizes. Yang and 4 other
suspets have been arrested by the local police. On Friday, the Xi'an
lottery center authorities declared the lottery ticket Liu held was valid
and apologized for the scam. [newsphoto]
