In September 2025, multiple regions across the country officially launched the "lottery coupon grabbing" mechanism, marking the entry of national subsidies into a new phase of "high demand, limited supply." Shanghai conducts centralized lottery draws every two weeks, with the latest round just concluded on September 20-22; Anhui opens registration every Monday and Tuesday with random system draws; Sichuan, Fujian, and Shaanxi issue coupons at fixed weekly times with limited quantities that sell out instantly; Hunan only offers one chance per month, earning the title of "hardest province to win" where missing means waiting a full month. In the remaining "unlimited" regions like Jiangsu and Beijing, while coupons can still be claimed all day, product categories have significantly shrunk with popular digital models quietly removed, greatly reducing practical usability.

Behind the policy adjustments lies the goal of improving fairness and effectiveness of subsidy distribution. Previously, some regions suspended national subsidy applications due to quota constraints or system adjustments, sparking speculation about whether "subsidies had ended." Now, officials have clearly responded: national subsidies have not ended, resumed full distribution in September, with an additional 69 billion yuan in funds allocated to provinces. Meanwhile, to prevent fraudulent claims, multiple regions have implemented daily limited subsidy quota distribution, set collection time limits, real-name authentication, SN code verification, IP monitoring and other measures to ensure subsidy funds truly benefit consumers.

Funding Pool Crisis: 70% of 300 Billion Subsidy Already Spent

The 2025 national subsidy total budget is 300 billion yuan, distributed in four batches: First and second batches totaling 162 billion yuan distributed before July, third batch of 69 billion yuan distributed in September, fourth batch of 69 billion yuan expected in October. As of mid-September, over 210 billion yuan has been verified nationwide, accounting for 70% of the total budget. Taking Shanghai as an example, home appliance and digital subsidies alone verified nearly 8 billion yuan, directly driving 50 billion yuan in consumption.

The third batch of 69 billion yuan in "national subsidy" funds is now fully in place, with subsidy application channels nationwide reopening hotly—the substantial benefits of national subsidy policy directly reduce consumer burden, helping everyone improve quality of life at more favorable prices. Notably, the nationwide unified deadline is clearly set for December 31, 2025 at 24:00.

Coupon Grabbing Trend Analysis: From "Universal Carnival" to "Precision Targeting"

Policy implementation rhythms vary significantly across provinces and cities. Currently, national coupon grabbing modes fall into four categories:

Lottery Type: Representative provinces Shanghai and Anhui use notarized lottery systems with winning rates below 5%, keywords being "luck-based, low frequency" (Shanghai switched to lottery from September 20, requiring consumers to register first then wait for results);

Rush Type: Representative provinces Sichuan and Fujian use limited-time flash sale mode with coupons so scarce they "sell out instantly," keywords being "speed-based, high concurrency" (mostly fixed weekly distribution times, first-come-first-served);

Limited Type: Representative provinces Liaoning and Shandong use daily quota distribution with moderate winning rates, keywords being "early bird, patience required";

Lenient Type: Representative provinces Jiangsu and Beijing support all-day collection with higher winning rates, but core issue is "category shrinkage, existing in name only" (popular products mostly removed, limited actual redeemable categories).

Additionally, some regions have clearly suspended national subsidies: Xinjiang confirmed no resumption for the second half of this year, with some cities in Zhejiang, Henan, and Liaoning also suspending applications.

User Profiles: Who's Grabbing? Who Gets Them?

Early Birds: Punctually waiting at application channels at 9 AM daily, motto "more punctual than work," relying on fixed-time check-ins for advantage;

Multi-Device Users: Simultaneously using phones, tablets, computers, plus simulators, 5G networks and WiFi, using "device quantity + network speed" dual advantages;

Scalper Services: "Win-for-hire" services appeared on second-hand platforms charging 200-500 yuan per success, disrupting normal application order;

Zen Players: Avoiding online competition, turning to offline channels through "trade-in + store subsidy" combinations for discounts.

Future Outlook: Final 69 Billion Round, October May See "Ultimate Lottery"

Latest news indicates the fourth batch of 69 billion yuan will arrive in October, but subsidy distribution will abandon "flood irrigation" for precision targeting:

By category: Priority support for green smart appliances, new energy vehicles, age-friendly products; By region: Focus on central-western regions and third-fourth tier cities; By mechanism: Full implementation of "real-name + lottery + quota" trinity model.

This means October may become the final "real subsidy" window, after which national subsidy policy may shift to long-term mechanisms like "tax reduction" and "credit support." According to Ministry of Finance arrangements, the final 69 billion yuan will be distributed in conjunction with "Double 11" and "Double 12" promotions, becoming the year's last shopping opportunity.
