Now and then: Lottery dream fading

A photo from Dec 22, 2000 shows crowds hoping to win a sports lottery that raised 50 million yuan ($8 million) for the construction of Jiageng Stadium in Xiamen, East China's Fujian province. The sports lottery began in 1994, several years after the social welfare lottery, to meet costs of staging big sports events. [Photo/CFP]
