<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidDkAB0hxxPrrn" />Several voters in Bhopal on Tuesday (May 7) went home with exciting gifts, including diamond rings, after they won a luck draw organised by&nbsp;local&nbsp;election office to increase voter awareness.</p>

<p>Some voters won caps,&nbsp;T-shirts&nbsp;but others were far luckier. Bhopal's Yaggoj Sahu, for instance, won a diamond ring. "I didn't want to participate in the draw, but my wife insisted that we put our slips in the little box," an elated Sahu was quoted as saying by the Times of India.</p>

<p>India held its third phase of Lok Sabha elections on May 7 under which polling took place in nine constituencies of Madhya Pradesh state.</p>

<p>During the polling, the Bhopal administration organised three lotteries per polling booth during different timings of the day:&nbsp;10am, 2pm and 6pm.</p>

<p>To get registered for the lucky draw, voters had to show their inked fingers and then write down their names and phone numbers on a token.</p>

<p>While ordinary booths had T-shirts and caps as gift items, special booths like Char Imli kept brand new coolers, mixers and a diamond ring for the winners. Char Imli is where senior bureaucrats and ministers live and cast their votes. Tents were arranged at the polling booths to provide shelter to those lined up in queues outside.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to election officials, all the prizes were paid for by private firms, who took part in the voter awareness programme.</p>

<p>Madhya Pradesh recorded a total voter turnout of 66.12 per cent till 6 pm on Wednesday, the time when polling closes. The state's final phase of polling will now take place on May 13, when India will be holding its fourth phase of elections.</p>

Lok Sabha elections 2024: Bhopal voter wins diamond ring in lucky draw organised by local election office

<p>A Chinese employee left the internet jealous after he won 365 days of paid leave in an office raffle during the company’s annual dinner. An image of him holding a prize cheque with the caption “365 days of paid leave” in Chinese, is making rounds on the internet. The man works in a managerial position in an unnamed Chinese company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The announcement of him winning the prize left his boss flabbergasted as the chances of winning it were extremely low.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The lucky draw included penalties as well</strong></h2>

<p>The luck draw that awarded the Chinese man with rare fortunes included several penalties as well. Some penalties even included working for extra hours and serving as a waiter to his colleagues. On the other hand, the prize pool included some extra annual leaves and rest days. The best pick of all was the 365-day paid vacation card. Given that the man bagged the most prized award available in the lottery, the risk was definitely worth taking for him.</p>

<h2><strong>Jealous internet reacts</strong></h2>

<p>Just like the man’s boss in the company, the news also left the netizens in shock. Chinese users were almost convinced that this was an April Fool’s prank. Some thought it was a scheme by the company to retain outgoing employees. "Employees who are about to leave the company get this type of offer,” wrote a Chinese user.</p>

<p>An Indian user @WarkePranav wrote, “A Chinese man got 365 days of paid leave at a lucky draw held in office. In my company, we get a water bottle with company's logo on it as a prize.” One user @TheRockHard5 said he was the “world’s luckiest man.”</p>

<p>Some users on the Chinese internet suggested that man could have taken the cash instead of vacation.

<p>The lucky man, surnamed Lu, later appeared on the Chinese video app Douyin and said that he had worked in the imported food company for the last 14 years after his graduation from school.
