On November 21, when Wang arrived at the lottery complex in Urumqi to receive his prize, he donated the first batch of 60 thousand dollar to a charity project aimed at financing schooling of impoverished students.
Wang donated the remaining money to charity affairs through a Catholic organization, sources with the Xinjiang Welfare Lottery Center said.
