Witnessing the credibility of the Sports Lottery, Guangzhou Sports Lottery’s first 2025 “Meet the Sports Lottery” on-site observation group visits the lottery draw center

On October 13, the first observation group of the 2025 “Meet the Sports Lottery” on-site event, organized by the Guangzhou Sports Lottery Management Center, traveled to the Beijing Fengtai District Sports Lottery Draw Hall and China Sports Lottery Printing Technology Co., Ltd. They closely observed and supervised the full draw process of the 25116th Super Lotto and the 25272nd Pick 3 and Pick 5 games, and visited the instant ticket production base to witness the draw steps firsthand, appreciating the strict, standardized, open, and transparent aspects of lottery production.

The first observation group consisted of 25 Sports Lottery professionals and media personnel. Upon arriving in Beijing, their first stop was the Fengtai Sports Center Sports Lottery Draw Hall. Before the official draw began, an engaging prize-winning interactive game called “Let Yourself Go” quickly energized the atmosphere in the reception hall. The science exhibition area, featuring illustrated displays, systematically presented the diverse uses of the Sports Lottery public welfare funds and the draw rules system, helping the group deepen their understanding of the lottery’s public welfare nature and draw mechanisms. The “Witness Transparent Draw” themed photo zone became a memorable highlight for members to capture their visit.

Next, after passing through multiple security checks, the group entered the Sports Lottery Draw Hall. Guided by professional staff, they gained a systematic understanding of the entire draw process. They observed the pre-operation testing of two draw machines, “Venus” and “Topaz,” as well as the notarization staff’s verification and sealing of the draw balls. Under the joint witness of the observation group and the notarization personnel, the draw machines were officially activated, successfully completing the draws for the 25116th Super Lotto and the 25272nd Pick 3 and Pick 5 games. The orderly procedures and transparent operations deeply impressed the group, reinforcing their confidence in the absolute fairness and solid credibility of the Sports Lottery draw.

For the second part of the trip, the group visited China Sports Lottery Printing Technology Co., Ltd., exploring the intelligent instant ticket production base and tracing the entire lifecycle from creative design to finished product shipment. After strict security checks, members entered the production workshop under staff guidance and closely observed the full chain of instant ticket production—from raw material selection, plate making, printing of prize symbols, coating of the cover layer, to folding, cutting, inspection, and packaging. Staff highlighted the highly confidential prize group design process, advanced printing technologies, multiple quality control checkpoints, and automated packaging and distribution equipment, giving members a comprehensive understanding of the meticulous quality control system behind instant ticket production.

At the conclusion of the visit, the observation group members, filled with excitement, took a group photo in front of the China Sports Lottery Printing Technology Co., Ltd. building, marking the successful completion of the first 2025 “Meet the Sports Lottery” on-site observation tour. Members expressed that this event not only allowed them to personally witness the absolute fairness and authoritative integrity of the lottery draw but also deeply appreciate the standardized and strict regulations involved in instant ticket production. This experience strengthened their professional identity and sense of belonging to the Sports Lottery industry, motivating them to consciously take on the responsibility of promoting the lottery’s credibility and continuously convey the core values of “openness, fairness, and justice” to the public.
