A lucky employee in China thought he hit the jackpot after winning an NVIDIA RTX 5060 graphics card in his company’s lottery event. But just as he started planning how to upgrade his gaming rig, HR dropped a plot twist: Keep the prize, and you could lose your job! Talk about turning a win into a “lose-quit” scenario.
This bizarre incident has gone viral, sparking outrage and laughter across social media. The employee, who was understandably excited about his shiny new RTX 5060, quickly found out that the company valued paperwork over pixel power. The HR department demanded the return of the prize—implying that job security was the real “reward.” Office morale must have hit rock bottom; after all, who knew the real office lottery was just keeping your job?

One thing is clear: Next time your company holds a lucky draw, make sure the “lucky” part isn’t just surviving the aftermath. This tale is a reminder that sometimes, the only thing riskier than winning is dealing with HR.
