国家体育总局彩票中心严正声明

Core Viewpoint - The National Sports General Administration's Lottery Management Center has issued a statement addressing the recent incidents of counterfeit instant lottery tickets, which are disrupting the lottery market order [3][4]. Group 1: Official Statement - The only legitimate channel for purchasing lottery tickets is through physical lottery stores, which must display a sales certificate. Any sale of counterfeit tickets will result in the revocation of sales qualifications and potential legal action [4][5]. - Instant lottery tickets are made from environmentally friendly materials and include various security features such as protective films and anti-counterfeiting patterns. Counterfeit tickets are fundamentally different from legitimate instant lottery tickets and are illegal [4][5]. Group 2: Legal Implications - Engaging in activities related to counterfeit tickets, including redemption, violates multiple laws such as the Lottery Management Regulations and the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. Legal responsibilities will be pursued against violators [5]. - The public is urged to recognize legitimate purchasing channels and report any suspicious activities related to counterfeit tickets to local authorities or the official lottery hotline [5].
