Our first story is related to America's soaring lottery powerball which has now reached $1.3 billion dollars. Here in China, lottery winners are offering sound advice to whoever gets lucky and takes home the jackpot. Ok, here's what you do after winning. Find a mascot at your local university or pro sports team, heck, it could be anything, all you need is a mascot head. Tell them you'll pay them back for it, but don't tell them how. With your winning ticket in hand, put on your mascot helmet and go claim that big check! No seriously, that's the thing to do in China, it helps you stay anonymous that way nobody will know you won. So the next time you win on that lottery ticket, you could wear the panda suit, The creepy Baby mask, The rooobot mask, or whatever this thing is. It's up to you, and if you're worried about humiliating yourself, don't, because your rich!

Take this one for instance, a 21-year-old Chinese man who we assume still lives with his parents dressed himself up in a police officer outfit to prevent his dad from hiring more prostitutes. The man's name is Guo, and Guo's plan was to scare away the prostitutes with his SWAT outfit. Guo even bought an electronic baton online to make it seem like he's a real badass cop. When people started seeing Guo with his electronic baton, they called the real cops, who came arrested Guo. I'm not sure if Guo's dad bailed him out of jail or not, nevertheless, you have to forgive Guo for trying to do a "Guod" deeed.

When his father suffered blood circulation problems in 2006, doctors had to amputate part of his father's left foot, a decision that meant he would require expert medical attention daily.

It's not the first time a Ma Yun look-a-like has caused a stir online, with the billionaire being compared to a character in Lord of the Rings, Gollum, and a Picasso painting. Some of the comparison's are a little cruel, with many people saying Ma does not fit conventional ideas of attractiveness.
