With an estimated jackpot of around $1.5 billion dollars, if you win tomorrow night’s Powerball drawing, would you tell anyone? A Chinese winner of a $30.6 million jackpot didn’t want anyone to know and went to the extent of wearing a mascot costume to claim his prize. The winner, who’s only identified by the pseudonym of “Li,” said he wore the costume to keep the jackpot a secret from his family. “I am concerned that they might feel superior to other people and will not work or study hard in the future,” Li told lottery officials. He donated some of his winnings to a lottery fund that supports vulnerable communities in China.
