Last year when I won the Beijing license plate lottery, I was super excited but knew I had to stay calm. The first step was checking the official website to confirm the win, not trusting text messages to avoid scams. Then I immediately logged into the passenger car quota system to apply for the purchase quota—it had to be done within 15 days, or all the effort would be wasted. Paying the roughly 1,000 yuan quota fee wasn’t much, but I couldn’t delay. After securing the quota, I started car shopping. Considering the traffic restrictions, I opted for a new energy vehicle, which not only had more subsidies but also made it easier to get a green license plate. Finally, when buying the car and registering it, I had to remember to bring my ID and quota proof to the DMV, and getting insurance added peace of mind. The whole process was about being fast, precise, and decisive—winning the lottery is a rare opportunity, so don’t let it slip away.
