As the Beijing Olympic Games is getting nearer by the minute, a new trend (or old business) is also getting hotter in the streets. Gambling seems to be the new Olympic sports. Olympic lottery tickets or Scratch-&-Win cards are selling everywhere. From supermarkets, bookstores, post offices, petrol kiosks to streets outside restuarants and markets, these Olympic cards can be found at a convenient location near you. With just 10 yuan, one can stike a winning sum of 200 000 yuan ($29 314).

Everyone is hoping that Lady Luck is smiling at him or her.
