Local media report that A 71-year-old man in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region who won a lottery jackpot of 5RMB million has donated all of the money to charity.

Surnamed Wang, the man is a retired worker with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Changji.

"My only wish to make use of the prize for myself is to buy a new radio," Wang was quoted by the Xinjiang Economic Daily as saying.
