The man, referred to as Xiao, ran a shop selling grilled squid in a market before winning nearly £3million.
He could be heard yelling: “I won 30million yuan, spending only 1,000 yuan! I won!”
He then lifts up a yellow chair, throwing it at his shop’s lit up sign inside the market as passer-bys watch on.
The scene quickly went viral on Chinese social media, with users finding his reaction brilliant.
One said: “Trying to trick me into buying a lottery ticket again?”
Xiao won his jackpot alongside another lucky 26 players on May 13 after playing the “Super Lotto”.
He revealed he’s already sold his stall at the market for £4,500, and will split the massive winnings with the other players.
Xiao said he also plans to spend some of his newly won cash on his son’s upcoming wedding.
Earlier this year, a woman got the ultimate revenge on her husband after he hid his £1million lottery win – and bought his ex-partner a house.
The secretive man, known as Zhou, won the lottery two years ago but now faces embezzlement charges, a Chinese court heard.
According to Hangzhou Daily, he sent £242,000 of the winnings to his sister and a further £85,000 to his ex-wife to help her buy a flat.
His wife divorced him after discovering the truth, and managed to earn 65% of the money he hid from her in court.
National lottery winnings are taxed in China to raise money for community and welfare programmes.
Because of that, people have attempted to hide their lump sums.
One man named Li bizarrely dressed in a mascot costume last year to accept his winnings.
He told local media he donned the outfit to hide his appearance from his family.
At the time, Li said: “I’m really happy I won but I don’t want my family to know about this since they might become too arrogant and complacent in the future.”
One woman kept her huge lottery win a secret from her husband for eight years before he found out after seeing a text on her phone.
Another wary woman hid her winning lottery ticket for safekeeping after scooping the jackpot – but ended up forgetting where she put it.
