Lawyer doesn't buy lottery explanation

A lawyer in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region has sued the Ningxia and China Welfare Lottery centers, as well as the Beijing Fangyuan Notary Public Office, seeking a clear explanation for the delay in a draw that has prompted allegations of foul play.

Lawyer Yong Jijun claims that the delay in drawing the winning lottery number broke the contract with ticket holders, including himself.

The Xingqing district people's court Yinchuan, capital of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, has accepted the case.
