“Consolation Prize: One can of Coke!”
“Consolation Prize: One can of Coke!”
“Consolation Prize: One can of Coke!”
…
“Wow, a third prize! A bear-shaped oven! Miss’s luck is improving, it seems we’re getting closer and closer to our super grand prize, the electric car!”
The Fat Woman pulled out one lottery ticket after another from the box. The vast majority of them were consolation prizes, a can of Coke, and occasionally better prizes would appear, such as full-reduction coupons, small appliances, and the like.
As the number of shopping receipts in her hand dwindled, she became increasingly agitated.
At first, she was calm, drawing tickets and cooperating with the host’s interview.
Slowly, her entire face fell.
“How could this be? I calculated it all! There aren’t many tickets left in the box. Logically, with so many of my receipts, I should have drawn all the tickets and won the electric car. Why is it that my receipts are almost used up and I still haven’t won the car?”
Soon, she had only one receipt left, allowing for one more draw.
“Miss has one last chance! Do you all think she’ll win the car?”
“Of course she will!”
“If she doesn’t win this time, her luck must be terrible!”
“She’s drawn over a hundred tickets, it’s got to be Miss’s turn by now!”
…
The audience on site were very cooperative with the host, believing that the grand prize belonged to the Fat Woman.
The Fat Woman handed the receipt to the host, then closed her eyes and prayed:
“It must be a win, it must be a win, it must be a win!”
She then reached a hand into the box to draw a ticket.
She touched several tickets in a row, changed her mind multiple times, and finally, after much effort, convinced herself to draw one. She glanced at it and immediately shouted excitedly:
“Wow, I won! I won! I won the electric car!”
The audience on site all had an “as expected” expression upon seeing this.
“Over a hundred receipts, she deserves it!”
“Winning on the last try is too dramatic.”
…
Lin Yang heard that the grand prize had been won and checked the time. It was still five minutes before nine o’clock.
Logically, the information pushed by the system should not be wrong.
The information indicated that the grand prize could be intercepted before nine o’clock, so why did the Fat Woman in front of him win it?
The host’s smile suddenly froze when she saw that the grand prize had been won, but with so many audience members present, she couldn’t show it too obviously.
She could only pretend to be very surprised and exclaim:
“Wow, Miss’s luck is too good! Please hand me the ticket first for confirmation.”
She took the ticket from the Fat Woman’s hand and thought to herself:
“I don’t know who hid this ticket, it wasn’t stuck down properly. All that hard work for a whole day, and it was intercepted by an outsider!”
Just as she was about to announce the winner of the super grand prize, she suddenly noticed two words in front of “electric car”: “Yadi.”
The host immediately breathed a sigh of relief. What was drawn was actually the first prize, a Yadi electric bicycle, not the super grand prize, the electric car.
“Wow, I’m so sorry, Miss. You drew a Yadi electric bicycle. Although it’s not the super grand prize electric car, your luck is still very good.”
The crowd, who had been preparing to leave upon seeing that the grand prize had already been won, stayed behind when they heard that the grand prize had not yet been won.
Everyone had an expression of disbelief:
“No way, she drew over a hundred times and still didn’t win?”
“Miss’s luck is too bad!”
“She’s clearing the way for the people behind her; it’ll be much easier for them to win the electric car now.”
…
The Fat Woman’s expression was very ugly. She pouted, and even with the host’s comforting words, there was not a trace of a smile on her face.
After repeatedly confirming that the ticket was for a Yadi electric bicycle, she reluctantly walked off the stage.
After she left, it was Lin Yang’s turn to draw. He only had one receipt in his hand, so he could only draw once.
The host took the receipt and then interviewed Lin Yang:
“Young man, do you have confidence in winning our super grand prize?”
Lin Yang grinned, his smile full of meaning.
When the host saw his smile, a chill ran down her spine for no reason, and she had a bad premonition.
“We’ll know once I draw it!”
Lin Yang reached into the box, following the system’s information to feel for the top left corner of the box.
Sure enough, he felt a ticket there. He dug it out with a firm tug and took it out.
On the ticket, a pink electric car was clearly printed.
The system’s information was indeed accurate. If it said it could be intercepted before 9 PM, it could be intercepted.
A car worth 60,000 yuan was now in his hands just like that.
The host was stunned when she saw the ticket in Lin Yang’s hand.
She gave a meaningful look to the person behind Lin Yang:
“How could this happen? We had made thorough preparations, and the next person to draw was one of our own. How could it have been intercepted?”
The person behind Lin Yang exchanged glances with the host, looking innocent:
“How would I know? We’ve been using this method for years. Who knew there would be an accident this year?”
Although such an occurrence made them very uncomfortable, with so many audience members present, they couldn’t show it too obviously.
The host could only put on a smile and pretend to be very surprised:
“Wow, young man, your luck is amazing! One shot, one kill! Now, let’s interview this young man and see how he’s feeling!”
The host brought the microphone to Lin Yang:
“Young man, how do you feel about winning the car?”
“Of course, I’m very happy to have won.”
“Okay, good. I hope your good luck can be passed on to everyone here.”
With the grand prize intercepted, the host had no desire to talk much more, so she asked a casual question and quickly ended the interview.
Lin Yang was then led aside by a staff member to claim his prize.
With the grand prize gone, the others also lost patience and left quickly.
At this moment, Lin Yang noticed that the Fat Woman, who had drawn over a hundred times before him, had not left.
She walked straight towards Lin Yang:
“Handsome, can you sell this car to me?”
“Of course, if the price is right.”
“That’s great! Thank you for fulfilling my wish.”
The woman looked very happy after receiving a positive answer.
Lin Yang was very puzzled. It was just an ordinary electric car, available everywhere outside. Why was she so persistent about this particular car?
The woman seemed to see Lin Yang’s confusion and smiled:
“This car is a collaboration with Porky Pig. Only the ones from Joy City’s anniversary event are genuine.”
Lin Yang nodded:
“So that’s it. How much do you think it’s worth? If the price is right, I’ll transfer it to you.”
“The official promotional materials say it’s worth 60,000 yuan. How about I transfer 60,000 to you?”
“Deal.”
Lin Yang had originally thought he would have to sell it at a discount, but now someone was directly offering 60,000 yuan. Not only did he not have to discount it, but he also saved himself the trouble of going through the procedures.
He directly transferred the winning qualification to the woman, both making money and saving trouble.
After receiving the 60,000 yuan from the woman, he left the mall and took a taxi home.
Today, he first spent 700 yuan to buy a coconut snail, opened a melo pearl, and earned 1.5 million yuan.
Then he used all his money to buy 5 apartments in Jinling Community. After half a month, he would receive ten times the value of the properties as compensation for demolition.
In the evening, he won a car at the mall’s anniversary celebration, earning another 60,000 yuan.
In other words, today alone, not counting the property gains, he earned 1.56 million yuan, far more than the hundreds of thousands a day he had previously expected.
Over an hour later, he got off at the community entrance and happened to run into his roommate, Qin Zhiyuan, who was returning from outside.
He pulled him along to eat barbecue at the community entrance, and by the time they returned to their rental apartment and tidied up, it was already midnight.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in Lin Yang’s mind.
