“Try your luck?
That’s great!
This is a good place to try your luck.
If you can win just one bet, you’ll probably be set for life.”
“That’s what I think too.
What can relieve worries?
Only getting rich quick!”
“If you want to get rich overnight, you have to buy lottery tickets.
So what do you plan to buy?”
Ye Jia simply uttered three words: “Double Color Ball”.
“Double color ball lottery is great, one red and one blue, the colors look festive, let’s pick a number.”
As he spoke, the boss handed over the electronic tablet.
Ye Jia didn’t take it.
Instead, she took out the number she had written down beforehand and handed it to the shopkeeper: “Just use this number.
These numbers are my lucky numbers, my family’s lucky numbers, and my boyfriend’s lucky numbers.
I hope they will bring me good luck.”
Ye Jia made up all those lucky numbers for family and boyfriend; she doesn’t even have a boyfriend yet.
The shopkeeper took the slip of paper, looked at it, and said with a smile, “Young lady, the odds of winning the lottery are never very high.
One number looks a bit weak.
Why not choose a few more to increase your chances?”
Ye Jia shook her head: “No, this one number is fine.
If it doesn’t work out, that’s fine too.
I’ll just buy it to make myself happy.”
Out of professional habit, the boss originally wanted her to buy more tickets to increase sales, but seeing that she only wanted to buy this number, he had no choice but to agree.
The shopkeeper then asked, “This number is also fine.
How many tickets do you plan to buy?”
“Give me 100 bets.”
There were a total of 107 winning tickets for this grand prize, and Ye Jia originally planned to win them all.
But then she thought again, fishermen use large mesh nets to release small fish, so it would be too cruel of her to just take away all the prize money.
After all, this was given to her by the system; always leave room for maneuver so that you can meet again in the future.
The shopkeeper was taken aback, then smiled and said, “100 bets?
There are only 107 bets in total for this grand prize.
Young lady, you have quite the appetite, aiming for the hundred million yuan jackpot.”
The elderly people standing nearby also laughed when they saw this.
“Goodness, when we buy lottery tickets or Double Color Ball tickets, we only hope to win a few hundred thousand or so.
I didn’t expect this young girl to have such a big appetite at such a young age.”
“That’s right.
The Double Color Ball lottery is so hard to win.
It took many draws for the grand prize to go unclaimed before it slowly accumulated to more than 500 million yuan.
There were 107 grand prizes, and this young lady bought 100 of them at once.
Is she trying to buy up all the prize money?”
“Young people these days, whether male or female, don’t work hard.
All they think about is getting rich overnight.
We’ve been buying lottery tickets for years, and many of us haven’t even won a single dollar.
If it were that easy to get rich, there would be no need for lottery shops to be open.”
“Young lady, judging from your clothes and appearance, your family’s financial situation is probably not very good.
Auntie advises you to just buy one or two bets for fun.
After all, it’s not easy to make money these days.”
Ye Jia smiled dismissively: “This number is my lucky number.
I just wanted to see if it could bring me good luck.
If it doesn’t, I won’t buy it again.”
The person who advised Ye Jia to buy a bet or two for fun was an aunt who was related to a political marriage.
Seeing Ye Jia say this, she had an idea and said, “Today is my son’s birthday, and we just happened to come across the little girl’s lucky number.
Alright, boss, give me a bet based on the little girl’s number as well.”
This woman never imagined that her seemingly unintentional act would win her a huge sum of over five million yuan.
