VODone is one of the most influential Internet video new media companies and has live Internet video technology, a team of experts and platform edges. The cooperation with the two parties, by launching the exclusive Internet live video programming on drawing "Constant Lottery" with winning numbers and lottery results is released every 10 minutes to hundreds of millions of lottery fans in China.

On 1 July 2009, a technical notarization and authentication conference was held for the "Electronic Lottery Drawing System" self-developed by the Heilongjiang Welfare Lottery Center.
