But looking at the vast darkness outside the window, he shook his head.
“Alright, let’s go tomorrow.
I guess I won’t be able to sleep tonight!”
Ye Jia wasn’t the only one having trouble sleeping tonight; the staff at the lottery center were too.
This year’s grand prize is worth 5.2 million yuan per winning ticket.
If an ordinary person wins just one, they won’t have to worry about buying a house or a car.
When the staff in charge of the grand prize tallied the number, they couldn’t help but exclaim, “My God, this is outrageous!”
Hearing this, the staff member in charge of tallying other awards couldn’t help but look up.
“What’s so outrageous?”
“Did no one win this time?”
“It shouldn’t be like that.
There are 107 top prize winners this time.
With so many netizens across the country, surely there won’t be a single lucky one?”
Just when everyone thought there wouldn’t be any top prize winners this time, the person in charge of tallying the top prizes shook his head repeatedly: “No, no, someone got it, someone got it.”
“You won!
That’s great!
What’s your name?”
“There were a total of 107 top prizes this time, but one person bought 100 of them.”
“What?
100 bets!”
All the staff members shouted.
“One bet costs 5.2 million, 100 bets…
that would be 520 million.”
“Oh my god, 520 million!
It’s been so many years since we’ve had such a big prize.”
A prize of 520 million is not just a big prize, it’s a huge prize.
The highest award ever received was only 360 million.
This time, Ye Jia’s bold 100 bets undoubtedly broke the all-time winning record for the China Double Color Ball lottery.
Even within the entire Chinese lottery industry, it would easily be ranked among the top three.
No wonder the staff were so surprised; the odds of winning were simply outrageous.
“Quick, quick, quick, notify the leaders, someone has won a 520 million yuan lottery prize.”
“And journalists, write all your articles, announce it nationwide, a super lucky winner has appeared in the lottery!”
“What are you waiting for?
Hurry up, hurry up!”
“…”
Whenever a prize of tens of millions of yuan is won, the lottery center will report it extensively, let alone a super prize of 520 million yuan.
People in society today are becoming increasingly restless, especially young people.
Many of them don’t work hard and are always thinking about getting rich overnight.
Once news breaks that someone has won 520 million yuan, those who dream of getting rich overnight will definitely flock to lottery shops.
As a result, the lottery center’s performance will increase several times over the next few months.
This is the terrifying economic effect of a super jackpot.
As the saying goes, it’s better to buy quality over quantity.
The lottery center is never afraid of someone winning a big prize; it’s afraid of no one buying tickets.
The economic siphon effect brought about by a super jackpot is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than the jackpot itself.
After a sleepless night, Ye Jia emerged with dark circles under her eyes, resembling those of a national treasure.
From my doorstep to the bus stop in our neighborhood, everyone—men, women, and children—was talking about last night’s lottery results.
“Hey, did you hear?
Last night, someone won 520 million yuan in the Double Color Ball lottery.”
“I heard about it.
Can such big news be kept under wraps?
I heard it’s from our area.”
“It’s not just in our area; I heard that a young woman in her early twenties won the grand prize.”
“My God, a young woman in her early twenties, how many years has she been playing the lottery, and she’s so lucky?”
“I heard from the lottery shop owner that the girl was playing for the first time.
She used her own, her family’s, and her boyfriend’s lucky numbers to create a series of numbers, and she won.”
