Witnessing the Integrity of Sports Lottery Up Close: The Transparent Process from Lottery Balls to Instant Ticket Printing

From October 27 to 29, the observation group composed of Guangzhou sports lottery staff and media representatives visited the Beijing Fengtai District Sports Lottery Drawing Hall and Zhong Sports Lottery Printing Technology Co., Ltd. They comprehensively witnessed the entire process of the Super Lotto drawing and the instant ticket production, immersing themselves in the principles of fairness, justice, and transparency upheld by the sports lottery.

On the evening of October 27, the group arrived at the Fengtai District Sports Center Lottery Drawing Hall. The event used various interactive formats to build the observers’ understanding: a lively prize-winning game in the reception hall energized the atmosphere; the science exhibition area presented, through graphic panels, the use of lottery public welfare funds in national fitness and rural sports, as well as the drawing rules system; the "Witness Fully Transparent Drawing" photo zone became an iconic spot to capture the event moments.

After passing strict security checks, the group entered the core drawing area. Under staff guidance, they learned about the drawing process structure, observed the pre-operation testing of the "Venus" and "Topaz" drawing machines, and witnessed multiple verification and sealing procedures performed by notaries on the lottery balls. As the machines started, the draws for the 25122nd Super Lotto, and the 25286th Pick 3 and Pick 5 games were successfully completed. The tightly linked procedures and fully transparent operations allowed the group to directly experience the openness and credibility of the lottery drawing.

The second stop took the group to Zhong Sports Lottery Printing Technology Co., Ltd.’s intelligent instant ticket production base. After necessary safety checks, members entered the production area under professional guidance to systematically understand the entire manufacturing cycle of instant tickets—from raw material selection, layout design, and printing, to subsequent security anti-counterfeiting data processing (such as encrypted prize information spraying), protective coating application, and finally folding, precise cutting, quality inspection, and packaging. The staff highlighted the confidential prize group design, advanced printing technology, 28 quality inspection checkpoints, and intelligent packaging and distribution equipment, providing the observers a comprehensive understanding of the standardized and meticulous quality control in instant ticket production.

This event concretely reinforced the brand image of responsibility, public welfare, and credibility of the sports lottery. Participants, including agents, expressed that they gained valuable insights, breaking the mystery surrounding the drawing and instant ticket printing processes, while enhancing their professional identity and industry belonging. Media representatives stated that through this event, they witnessed the fairness of the drawing and the standardization of lottery production.

As a vital platform for promoting the credibility of the sports lottery, the "Meet the Sports Lottery" event continuously breaks down information barriers through transparent practices, helping the public deepen their understanding of the lottery’s public welfare nature and regulated operations, thereby injecting momentum into the healthy development of the sports lottery industry.
