Chapter 17 Buying lottery tickets
"Boss, how much is it?"
"A total of one hundred and twenty-one dollars..."
Wang Wuyin handed over two hundred yuan, and the boss gave Wang Wuyin eighty yuan and gave him a change.
Wang Wuyin walked out of the restaurant, feeling satisfied with his full belly. This was the best meal he had eaten in the past few days, and it was also the most formal meal.
If you want to exercise well, you must keep up with basic nutrition. In a city like Qu'an, he only spent more than 100 yuan on a good beef hot pot meal by himself.
Wang Wuyin took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was just past seven-thirty, and there was still time. The lights on the streets were starting to turn on, and the whole city was entering a nightlife state.
Wang Wuyin carried his bag and walked more than a hundred meters along the road from the restaurant, when he saw a shop selling lottery tickets on the roadside.
This lottery shop is not big, only less than 30 square meters. The walls of the lottery shop are covered with the winning numbers of various lotteries in each issue. The numbers are connected with lines, forming a twisted and beautiful line.
There seemed to be some mysterious and regular line segments, and there were many discarded lottery tickets randomly discarded on the floor of the store. An LCD TV was hung on the wall, and the lottery results were repeatedly played.
There were only three people in the lottery shop, one was a middle-aged boss, and two lottery buyers were writing and drawing on the table, studying the lottery tickets.
Wang Wuyin came in, and the middle-aged boss who sold lottery tickets just glanced at him and found that he was a new face. He didn't have any enthusiasm to greet him. He just looked at a small TV in front of him.
"Last week, another person in XX province won more than 30 jackpots, a prize of more than 100 million..." Among the two people who bought lottery tickets, a man in his fifties wore thick glasses.
While lowering his head to study, Wang Wuyin said with envy. Looking at the man's dress, Wang Wuyin looked like an ordinary worker who had just gotten off work.
"Lao Yang, you are too ambitious. It is too difficult to win hundreds of millions. I don't want much. As long as I win a big prize, if I get 5 million, I will go home and build a house. I will never have to go to a construction site again..." Another one
The man in his forties spoke. The clothes this man was wearing still had mortar from the construction site. As soon as he spoke, Wang Wuyin remembered Li Zhitao's roar when he died. This man in his forties was a fellow villager with Li Zhitao.
"If you win the big prize, I can hang a banner in my store to take advantage of your luck!" The boss who was watching TV turned around and said.
Looking at the two people buying lottery tickets in the store, Wang Wuyin sighed in his heart. Domestic lotteries are trampling and mocking the laws of mathematics and statistics time and time again. The Chinese lottery can be regarded as one of the wonders of lottery on earth.
One.
If we use the words of their teacher Cao, people who still buy lottery tickets after going to high school mean that they did not learn high school mathematics well. People who still buy lottery tickets after having been in the society for a few years mean that the society has not understood it. Therefore, people who buy lottery tickets in China
, they are all those at the bottom of society who have neither read well nor understood society. In the end, the lottery was jokingly called the IQ tax of these people at the bottom.
Wang Wuyin did not buy lottery tickets before, but his "previous" memory reminded him of the news. Just today, in fact, in two hours, a domestic lottery with a large circulation will be opened again.
A jackpot of more than 300 million yuan. Logically speaking, Wang Wuyin could not remember such a jackpot number. But when he recalled the news the night before yesterday, he actually found that he still clearly remembered the winning of a jackpot of more than 300 million yuan.
Number, the news he saw many years ago existed in his mind like a photo, so he came to try it today. Of course, he didn't want to grab the big prize, share hundreds of millions equally with others, and win the lottery in China.
Historically, this kind of thing is impossible to happen. He just wants to take a ride and make a profit within the rules, nothing more.
The grand prize will be drawn at 9:30 tonight, and the sales deadline today is 8:00 pm.
Wang Wuyin pretended to be dawdling in the store for a while. He waited until 7:50, before the sales of this lottery ended, and then he wrote a series of numbers on a piece of paper——03 08 09 17 29
31,11, came to the lottery shop owner, handed ten yuan and a piece of paper with the number on it to the lottery shop owner, with a smile on his face, "Boss, this number, come three times..."
"
"How about five times the amount, it's exactly ten yuan!" The boss took the money and number and glanced at it casually and said.
"Just three times, keep a few dollars and I'll take the car back!" Wang Wuyin said with a smile. He felt that three bets should be the limit. Within the tolerance range of the other party, it can also share some of the firepower of public opinion for the other party. If there were more
At this point, he can't guarantee whether tonight's grand prize of more than 300 million will happen. This important information in his head will completely lose its value, and this is the only lottery information he remembers.
Even if there is a grand prize, he doesn't know what the number is.
Earn the first pot of gold first, then there will be many opportunities to make a fortune later. If you cannot get this first pot of gold, many subsequent opportunities to make a fortune will be wasted.
Seeing Wang Wuyin's insistence, the owner of the lottery shop said nothing more and was too lazy to say anything. He played three times the lottery ticket according to the numbers given by Wang Wuyin and gave Wang Wuyin four yuan. Wang Wuyin took the lottery ticket and
money, and then without leaving a trace, he took the piece of paper on which he had just written the number. Yes, he found that it was correct, then he put away the lottery ticket and left the lottery shop. The owner of the lottery shop continued to look down at him.
Small TV.
An hour later, the number of people in the lottery shop gradually increased. Lottery players who bought lottery tickets nearby came here. The shop was noisy, and everyone was waiting for the numbers for tonight's lottery draw.
At 9:30, the fair lottery drawing screen by the notary appeared on the LCD TV in the store. As the numbers appeared, sighs could be heard in the store from time to time.
When the last number appeared, the owner of the lottery shop suddenly thought of something. He felt that the winning number seemed vaguely familiar. He patted his head, and his face suddenly became a little brighter. He rushed out of the shop and walked in
I scanned the street and found that the boy who bought the lottery ticket more than an hour ago had left and disappeared. The owner of the lottery shop was not sure whether it was that number because he sold too many lottery tickets in one day.
It's impossible to remember the numbers of every lottery ticket he played. It's just that the boy just bought three times, and he bought it not long ago. It was a little special, so he only had a slight impression. He felt that the boy's lottery ticket should have won.
There were several numbers, but not all of them were successful, and he was a little suspicious.
The owner of the lottery shop went to the table where he played the lottery and rummaged through it, only to find that the piece of paper that the boy had just written the numbers on and handed over was nowhere to be found.
…
In another lottery shop three kilometers away from this lottery shop, Wang Wuyin's tightly clenched fists suddenly relaxed when he saw the winning numbers on the TV hanging in the lottery shop.
After taking a long breath, Wang Wuyin found that his palms were full of sweat, and there was also a lot of sweat on his back. His little heart was beating hard, like just now.
Nervousness, only he can feel it.
The grand prize numbers for this issue are - 03 08 09 17 29 31, 11.
It’s still the same number, it hasn’t changed!
The people in the store were dispersing. Only a few people won small prizes, ranging from five yuan to dozens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. Many people were exchanging experiences and many people were slapping their thighs.
I was annoyed that I had chosen the wrong numbers.
No one knew that there was a lottery ticket in the bag of the ordinary boy in the store. Just now, the six-dollar lottery ticket had increased in value to more than fifteen million.
Wang Wuyin didn't stay in the store for long. It seemed to be a psychological effect. He felt like someone was always staring at his backpack.
He walked out of the store, hailed a taxi directly outside the store, and asked the taxi to drive directly to the guest house.
After returning to the guest house, he went to the room and locked the door. Wang Wuyin couldn't help but jump onto the bed. He jumped violently on the bed twice, lay down, buried his head in the quilt, and let out two low excited roars.
, "Get rich, get rich..."
Of the fifteen million, after paying three million in taxes, there should be more than twelve million left. With this first pot of gold, for Wang Wuyin, the problem of survival has been completely solved, and he will be able to make money later.
It's easier.
