Students Distracted by Lottery

Chinese students are going bonkers in Nanjing.

One of the students at Nanjing Normal University quit school after winning Y5 million ($683,000).

The second year student learned he won in the newspaper, collected his winnings from the China Welfare Lottery, then promptly left school. 

Nobody knows when/if he will come back or not.

Y5 million is good for living at the upper-middle class level in China for about 25 years.

This 20-year old knucklehead will need to rethink his strategy when he is 45. 

And  many of us know that there is a LOT of life to live after turning 45.chinese.lottery.jpg

Students in Nanjing are swarming to lottery stands, one in particular, in hopes of winning.

"It is too distracting and unrealistic for a college student to base his dreams on risky lotteries," said a professor at Nanjing Normal University.

Really now?

Is it too distracting for workmen, housewives, retirees, too? Tell that to Americans.
