fanglu Posted November 12, 2012 at 10:54 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 at 10:54 PM I think 获奖 is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daofeishi Posted November 13, 2012 at 12:28 AM Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 at 12:28 AM 得奖/获奖/获得奖项 are acceptable. 获胜 is intransitive, so 获胜奖 is not a valid collocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted November 13, 2012 at 02:24 PM Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 at 02:24 PM My friends in mainland China talk about winning the lottery, or more accurately, hoping to win the lottery. They say 中彩 for winning and 中彩票 for the winning ticket. Pretty sure that's a special case and not an answer to the original question.

Yep, 中 (as in 中奖) is for being randomly selected as a winner in a lottery, lucky draw, raffle, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
