Chapter 17 Buying a Lottery Ticket
"Boss, how much?"
"A total of one hundred and twenty one dollars ......."
Wang Wuyin handed over two hundred dollars, the boss found Wang Wuyin eighty dollars and wiped him a zero.
Wang Wuyin contentedly touched his full stomach and walked out of the restaurant, this was the best he had eaten in the past few days, and it was also considered the most formal meal.
If you want to work your body out, basic nutrition must keep up, and in a city like Qu'an, he had a nice beef hot pot meal by himself, and it only cost him a little over a hundred dollars.
Wang Wuyin took out his cell phone and looked at the time, the time is just more than seven thirty, it is still not too late, the street lights, the whole city, is entering the nightlife state.
Wang Wuyin carried his bag and walked along the road from the restaurant for more than a hundred meters, then he saw a lottery store on the side of the road.
This lottery store is not big, only less than thirty square meters, the walls of the lottery store, plastered with the winning numbers of various lotteries in various periods, those numbers are also connected with a line, curved and twisted to form a seemingly mysterious law of the line, and the store on the ground, but also discarded a lot of discarded lottery tickets randomly, an LCD TV hanging on the wall, is repeatedly playing the lottery draw screen.
There were only three people in the lottery store, one was a middle-aged boss, and there were two other lottery ticket buyers who were writing and drawing on the table, studying the lottery.
When Wang Wuyin came in, the middle-aged boss who sold lottery tickets just glanced at him and realized that he was a new face, he didn't greet him with enthusiasm, but just watched a small TV in front of him.
"Last week, XX province has another person won more than 30 jackpots, more than 100 million prizes ah ......" Those two people who buy lottery tickets, a man in his fifties wearing thick glasses, while lowering his head to study, while enviously said, Wang Wuyin look at that person's dress code, like an ordinary worker who just got off work.
"Lao Yang, your heart is too big, it's too hard to win hundreds of millions, I want not much, as long as I win a big prize, come a 5 million I'll go home and build a house, never need to go to the construction site again ...... " Another man in his forties spoke up, the man was wearing clothes There was still mortar from the construction site on it, as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Wuyin remembered Li Zhitao's angry roar when he sacrificed himself, this man in his forties and Li Zhitao were old folks.
"If you guys win the jackpot, I'll be able to hang a banner here in the store to dip into your good fortune!" The boss who was watching the TV turned back and said.
Looking at these two people buying lottery tickets in the store, Wang Wuyin sighed in his heart, the domestic lottery was trampling and mocking the laws of math and statistics time and time again, the lottery in the country of Huaxia was considered to be one of the lottery wonders on earth.
In the words of Mr. Cao, those who buy lottery tickets after going to high school have not learned high school mathematics well, and those who buy lottery tickets after mixing in society for a few years have not understood society, so those who buy lottery tickets in China are the people at the bottom of the social stratum who have not read well and have not understood society, and lottery tickets have been jokingly called the IQ tax of the people at the bottom of the social stratum.
Wang Wuyin didn't buy lottery tickets in the past, but his memories of the "old days" made him remember a piece of news, that today, in fact in two hours, a lottery with a large circulation in China would again issue a jackpot of more than 300 million dollars, and with such a jackpot number, Wang Wuyin couldn't possibly remember it. back to this news, he actually found that his head still clearly remembered the winning number of this 300 million plus jackpot, the news he saw many years ago existed in his head like a photo, so he came to try today, of course, he is not trying to grab the jackpot and share the hundreds of millions with someone, in the history of lottery winnings in China, this kind of thing is not possible, he just wants to ride on the wind and within the rules to He was just trying to get a ride within the rules and make a buck, that's all.
That jackpot is drawn at 9:30 tonight, and the sales deadline for today is 8:00 pm.
Wang Wuyin pretended to dawdle in the store for a while, and waited until 7:50 p.m., before the sales of this lottery closed, before he wrote a string of numbers on a piece of paper - 03 08 09 17 29 31, 11 - and came to the owner of the lottery store, handing the ten dollars and a piece of paper with the numbers written on it to the lottery store owner, a smile on his face, "Boss, this number, come triple ......"
"How about five times, just ten dollars!" The boss took the money and the number, and casually swept a glance and said.
"Just triple it, keep a few dollars I'll take the car back!" Wang Wuyin said with a smile, he felt that three bets should be the limit, within the tolerance of the other side, but also for the other side to share a little public opinion of the fire, if more, he would not dare to guarantee that tonight's more than three hundred million jackpot will still be produced, he head of this important information, but also completely lose value, and he remembered the lottery information, there is only one, and in the future, even if there is still a jackpot, he does not know! The first thing to do is to earn the first bucket of money.
If the first bucket of gold can't be won, many opportunities to get rich will be wasted.
Seeing that Wang Wuyin insisted, the owner of the lottery store didn't say anything more, and was too lazy to say anything, he played a triple lottery ticket according to the number given by Wang Wuyin, and found Wang Wuyin four dollars, Wang Wuyin took the lottery ticket and the money, and then without a trace, took the piece of paper on which he had just written the number, and realized that it was correct, and then collected the lottery ticket and left the lottery store, and the owner of the lottery store continued to keep his head down and watched his small TV.
An hour later, the lottery store was slowly crowded with people, and all the players who bought lottery tickets in the neighborhood came here, the store was in an uproar, everyone was waiting for the numbers of tonight's draw.
At 9:30, the drawing screen, which was impartial by a notary public, appeared on the LCD TV in the store, and as the numbers appeared one by one, a sigh of relief resounded in the store from time to time.
When the last number appeared, the owner of the lottery store suddenly thought of something, he felt that the winning number was vaguely familiar, he slapped his head, his face became a bit wonderful, he rushed out of the store and scanned the street, the teenager who had bought the lottery ticket more than an hour ago had already left, there was no trace of him, in the end, whether it was the same number or not, the owner of the lottery store was not sure, because he had sold lottery tickets one day, and he was not sure. The owner of the lottery shop himself was a bit unsure, because he sold too many lottery tickets in one day, it was impossible for him to remember the number of every ticket he played, it was just that the teenager only bought three times, and it was not long ago that he bought it, it was a bit special, he just had a slight impression of it, he had a feeling that the teenager's lottery ticket should have won a number of numbers, but it wasn't all of them, and he was a bit skeptical as well.
The owner of the lottery store went to the table in front of his own lottery ticket and rummaged through it, only to find that the piece of paper that the teenager had just written the numbers on and handed them over, were nowhere to be found.
......
Three kilometers away from the lottery store on the street side of another lottery store, looking at the lottery store hanging on the TV on the string of winning numbers, Wang Wuyin tightly clenched his fists, only a moment to loosen down, long exhaled a breath, so a moment's effort, Wang Wuyin found himself in his heart is full of sweat, and even on the back there is a lot of sweat, the heart is more thumping thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump, just that kind of The kind of nervousness just now can only be experienced by him.
The jackpot number for this period is - 03 08 09 17 29 31, 11.
It's the same number, no change!
The people in the store were dispersing, only a few people had won small prizes, five dollars, dozens of dollars, hundreds of dollars, all of them, many people were exchanging their experiences, and a number of people were patting their thighs, rather chagrined as to why they chose a few wrong numbers.
No one knew that there was a lottery ticket in that bag on that ordinary teenager in the store, and just now, that six-dollar ticket had appreciated into more than fifteen million dollars.
Wang Wuyin didn't stay in the store for much longer, it seemed to be the effect of psychological effect, he felt that someone was always staring at his backpack.
He walked out of the store and called a cab directly outside the store, letting the cab drive directly to the guest house.
Back to the guest house, came to the room, locked the door, Wang Wuyin before he could not help but jump to the bed at once, bounced violently on the bed twice, lay down, buried his head in the quilt, and let out two low excited hissing sounds, "rich, rich ......"
This fifteen million dollars, pay tax three million, to the hand should be left more than twelve million, with this first bucket of gold, for Wang Wuyin, the problem of survival is completely solved, and to make money behind it is much easier.
Whether in his last life or in this life, this is the first huge fortune he has ever gotten his hands on, and it is also the first bucket of gold that he really controls his own destiny.
