They’re not even trying
They’re not putting much effort into these lottery winner sims these days. No details at all – who would be stupid enough to drop even a dollar into this fake event?
A Mississauga woman has won what is being called “the largest jackpot ever in the history of Canadian lottery.”The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. says Zhe Wang held the single winning ticket for its $64 million jackpot.

From a Chinese language news site:
http://n.yam.com/nownews/international/20160315/20160315605606.html
“Although she has kept a low profile as far as possible, she would not hold any public news conference, but was happy to be photographed accepting the award in public.”
..
“Although Wang took the decision not to hold a press conference, the gaming company has disclosed photographs of her excitedly holding a large check.”
Very unlikely scenario. What point in being photographed and named, but otherwise staying mum? You get the sense that the Chinese journalist knows it’s all a scam.
The same news site is also noting that ethnic Chinese rarely win the Canadian lottery. Presumably because they rarely play it. Perhaps that was the objective of this fake win – to stimulate lottery sales among the Chinese?

Interesting. Any source stating that they rarely play it?
