Chinese man spends US$280 on 3-hour ring toss game, wins US$235,000 Maserati
Ring toss game ‘professional’ scoops top prize, reveals that he has won lesser awards using his skills in past, notably 6 geese
A Chinese man who spent 2,000 yuan (US$280) playing a ring toss game and won a Maserati sports car worth 1.7 million yuan (US$235,000) has shocked mainland social media.
The massive win took place at a night market in Shangqiu, Henan province, northern China, where a game booth offering a Maserati as the top prize in ring toss challenge attracted many eager participants to try.
The game involves players throwing ring-shaped objects at a target, aiming to land them successfully to win the prize.
The stall also offered other interesting prizes, such as cows, sheep, and various animals.
The stall owner claimed that it was possible to win the Maserati, saying: “Take a chance, maybe there is a skilled player out there.”
On February 14, a man surnamed Wang from Binzhou, Shandong province, eastern China travelled to play the game at the stall.
