China minted its latest batch of millionaires Tuesday night when it announced the latest results of the Union Lotto, awarding 113 top prizes each worth a little more than 5.14 million yuan, Sina.com reported Wednesday.

A lucky man in southeast China's Zhejiang Province won 100 of the 113 jackpots, netting him 514 million yuan to become the biggest winner in Chinese lottery history.

The lottery booth in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, that sold the golden tickets said the winner may be a local resident from Xinchang District.

The fortunate man won the 100 jackpots with only two tickets. Each ticket bore two sets of winning numbers, which he bet 25 times.

According to a report carried by Shaoxing.com.cn, the winner originally placed one single order for 100 draws on the winning numbers. But the assistant at the booth misunderstood the winner and only bought 50 draws for him. He then placed another order for 50 more draws on the same set of numbers.

Ten winning tickets were also sold elsewhere in Zhejiang Province, with the other three going to winners in Anhui, Fujian and Guangdong.

The previous record holder struck a jackpot worth 359.9 million yuan in October 2009.

Total sales for this draw were 334 million yuan. The next jackpot is estimated at 142 million yuan.
