　　Netizens questioned "fraud"

　　Webcast video shows that the first three balls fell out and rolled into the exhibition area below the slope, but the fourth ball stopped at the top of the slope and did not roll into the exhibition area. Subsequently, the fifth, sixth and seventh lottery balls were also blocked by the fourth lottery ball and stopped at the top of the slope. On-site notaries announced the winning number according to the dropped ball number.

　　According to the lottery announcement, the lottery numbers are 07, 14, 11, 01, 05, 17, 19, and the special number is 28. The sales amount of this period is more than 930,000 yuan. Two bets won the second prize, with a single prize of 18,799 yuan, 19 bets won the third prize, with a single prize of 1,200 yuan, 75 bets won the fourth prize, 200 yuan won the fifth prize in 2207 bets, 20 yuan won the sixth prize in 20729 bets, and 6 yuan won the single prize. The bonus of more than 1.01 million yuan rolled into the next prize pool.

　　On April 24, the staff of Fujian Sports Lottery Management Center told Beijing Youth Daily that after the incident, the Sports Lottery Center also contacted the lottery machine manufacturer to check on the spot. At present, the conclusion given by the manufacturer is that this is an accidental phenomenon. "The lottery system itself is operating normally, and the scene is also supervised by notaries. According to the management measures stipulated in the lottery, as long as the lottery ball is shaken out of the mixing bin, this lottery is effective. This time, the ball should have rolled to the exhibition area after it was shaken out. However, due to this accidental scene, the fourth ball stopped there and the balls behind it could not come down, but this did not affect the lottery results. " The staff said that after the incident, the Sports Lottery Center sent the video to the lottery machine manufacturer for the first time. Later, everyone paid more attention to this situation, and the manufacturer should also ask to go to the scene to check the equipment on the spot. What is the specific reason for this accidental phenomenon? Subsequent manufacturers will also issue a written explanation letter, and the Sports Lottery Center will also announce it to the public.

　　In response to netizens’ suspicion that "the notary prepared the winning number before the lottery results came out", the above-mentioned staff also said, "If you watch the video carefully, you can find that the lottery ball has stayed on the upper step for a few seconds before falling to the slope. The notary usually sees the lottery ball fall down the steps before preparing the winning number. There is nothing wrong with this. It may be a problem with editing (lens switching), and there is no situation of preparing winning numbers in advance. In addition, our lottery is always open to the public. If the public has doubts about the lottery results, we also welcome everyone to watch and supervise the lottery. "

　　In addition, the staff told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the manufacturer of the lottery machine will maintain it regularly, and the Sports Lottery Center will also inspect the machine before the lottery. Generally, when the lottery machine reaches a certain age, the Sports Lottery Center will replace it. It said that the lottery machine used at the lottery site on April 12 had no problem in operation and was currently in normal use.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the manufacturer of the lottery machine is Shanghai Junti Science and Technology Equipment Company. The staff of the company said that the lottery machine at the "31-7" lottery scene of Fujian Sports Lottery on April 12 was a relatively new machine. During the normal service period, there was no such situation that the lottery ball stopped at the top of the slope before the lottery. "This is an accidental phenomenon, not man-made. We have checked on the spot, and there is no problem with the machine and the lottery system. This situation has nothing to do with the lottery machine. "

　　Regarding the speculation that netizens questioned the machine failure or the static influence of the lottery machine, the staff of Shanghai Military Sports Science and Technology Equipment Co., Ltd. said that they would carry out regular maintenance, inspection and overhaul of the lottery machine according to regulations to ensure that the lottery machine can operate normally. "At present, what we have learned and seen is that there is no abnormality in this machine, there is no fault in the equipment operation system, and there is no situation that the lottery is affected by the fault."
