That same month, a lottery scandal threw the BMW brand into the limelight once again. Lottery officials in Shaanxi province rejected a winning ticket, calling it a fake and denying its bearer, a 17-year-old security guard named Liu Liang, the grand prize of a $58,000 BMW and 120,000 yuan ($14,510) in cash.
就在同一个月，一桩彩票抽奖丑闻再一次让BMW这一品牌成为公众关注的焦点。陕西省负责彩票发行的官员以造假为由拒绝兑现一张中了头奖的彩票。这张彩票的持有人是17岁的保安刘亮，他应获的奖品是一辆价值58，000美金的BMW轿车和120，000元现金（约合14，510美金）。
