Chapter 60: Come on Hard

The billboard shows that "Lotto" tickets are issued once a week, and they go on sale at 9 a.m. every Sunday, end at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, and broadcast the lottery live on 10:59 p.m. on Saturday. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Delaware prize is claimed within 90 days, and failure to claim it after the expiration date is considered to be automatically forfeited, and the prize rolls over to the next prize pool.

Although the "lotto" is played by 44 states, each state has some local policies: the effective prize time varies from 30 days to 180 days.

As for the question of whether it can be received across states, Zhang Nan studied the notice board again: and Huaxia Lottery is a virtue, and it is not allowed to receive it across states!

Why do I have to pick it up in my state?

Because of taxes!

The United States has federal taxes and state taxes, and if you go to other states to claim the grand prize, this large state tax is someone else's!

Honestly queued, but before nine o'clock, a lottery station staff came out and divided the team into three columns.

American lottery players are not surprised, Zhang Nan also followed the crowd, and there are only a dozen people in front of him.

Familiar people were talking, whites, blacks, and Latinos-looking people, but there were almost no American "elites."

In addition to Zhang Nan, there is an Asian in the team, but he is very short, looking at the appearance of that person, it is estimated that he is either a banana man or an RB guy, and Zhang Nan doesn't want to go to the other party to get close to anything, so he queues up by himself.

It is estimated that the office workers will also go to work, and the queue here is either an aunt or an uncle, or a bastard who doesn't have any serious work.

What's interesting is that there are also two taxis, and the driver gets out of the car and queues up to buy lottery tickets.

It seems that the attraction of the big prize is not ordinary!

The lottery station opened 5 minutes early, and when I walked in, I found that the place inside was not small, a bit like the business hall of Huaxia Bank - a total of 3 windows, no wonder the crowd was divided into three teams just now.

The sale started on time at 9 o'clock, and watching the people in front of him buy, Zhang Nan finally understood why the ticket sales would be closed tomorrow evening.

In 1987, there were no computer-connected lottery machines, all of which were typewriters: the tickets were in triplicate, and each ticket had a separate number.

A lottery ticket business hall retained, a copy of the current ticket sales after the end of the lottery ticket redemption business hall, used when redeeming prizes.

The ticket has an anti-counterfeiting mark identification code on the front link, which is handed over to the lottery player who purchased the ticket, and the lottery player can redeem the prize with this ticket.

After each lottery ticket business hall ends the sale of lottery tickets at 6 p.m. on Wednesday,It will be sold out of the lottery redemption number sorted,And then sent to the lottery redemption business hall,The number is entered into the computer to save the data.

After the Saturday night draw, a computer is used to search to determine the number of winners and the amount of prizes in each prize level of this period.

Because of the huge amount of work, three days were set aside!

Unlike the "Powerball" two dollars per bet a few decades later, this will be an American "lotto" for one dollar. Coupled with this cumbersome, complicated sales, prize redemption procedures and huge labor, as well as the cost of the lottery paper itself, it is no wonder that it is said that the probability of winning the early American "lotto" is much lower than that of the Chinese lottery.

As the slow team slowly moved forward, it was finally his turn, there was a black man in front of Zhang Nan, this black guy was looking at the small book in his hand, "crackling" and constantly reporting the number, and the typewriter in the window was also "crackling" and ringing!

This is clearly the rhythm of casting a wide net!

Looking at this posture, God knows when this black buddy will be finished.

In the line on the left, a Latino buddy in the first line is much simpler, directly reported the number, and then said give me a hundred times!

The guy apparently had his friends behind him, and one of them said, "You're stupid! you can hit the jackpot with one bet, why buy 100x?"

"That bastard Rodriguez wants to buy the same number as me, and if he wins, don't you want to share half of him?!"

The man didn't care, smiled arrogantly and took the lottery ticket and left.

It took 5 minutes for the black guy in front of Zhang Nan to hold a large pile of lottery tickets and leave the window with a smile on his face.

Finally, it was Zhang Nan's turn to report the 6 numbers that he would not forget if he was killed, "a hundred times!"

After the conductor repeated the numbers to make sure they were correct, the ticket was quickly played.

Holding the lottery ticket, I was about to leave, and suddenly it occurred to me that the American housewife would also win the lottery, and her share of the prize would be almost more than $1.5 million, and the average American might not be able to earn so much money in his lifetime!

In Huaxia, ordinary people may not be able to earn it in a few lifetimes!

1.5 million!

Don't take $1.5 million for money!

"Even if my sister runs a factory, how long will it take to earn this $1.5 million?!"

Looking left and right, this is in the United States, and no one knows it.

"I don't know anyone, I'm worried about a ball!"

Thinking about it, he took out his wallet from his pocket, and there were more than $1,600 in it.

Reserve the money that needs to be paid to the taxi driver next time, point out 1500 US dollars, and in the eyes of several surprised and stupid people nearby, he handed the lottery ticket in again, and said very arrogantly: "The same number, give me another 1500 notes!"

A lottery ticket is played up to a hundred times the same number, and it is a full 15 tickets.

There were black buddies on the side who saw this situation and said to Zhang Nan: "Hey brother, you have made a fortune with a small prize!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at the fool's eyes a lot less: it turns out that the lottery can still be played like this?

That's right, this kind of play, if you are lucky, or "high-tech", even if you win a small prize, you can make a fortune!

The premise is that you have that principal.

$1,600, which is not a small amount among ordinary Americans.

Zhang Nan determined that the 16 lottery tickets and the numbers on the top were correct, stuffed into the wallet, and was about to leave, but the person who bought it after hearing it also boldly reported two strings of numbers, "50 times!"

A hundred dollars shot.

Fortunately, no one remembers what their string of numbers is.

The conductor inside laughed: "That Asian fool just now is really good, it's better for everyone to follow suit!"

It's great for everyone to be like this, the workload is greatly reduced, and the bonus can be increased.

Out of the lottery business hall, there is not much cash in his pocket.

Coincidentally, diagonally across the street was the office of the MoMorgan Chase Bank, and I withdrew $2,000 from the ATM and walked briskly back to the fast-food restaurant.

It's only half past nine, and the black buddy's taxi is still parked in the parking lot at the door. When I got closer, I saw that Jack was dozing off in his chair.

knocked on the window, the black buddy opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Nan with a strange expression, and hurriedly opened the door: "Brother, so fast?"

"Well, when the business is done, we will get the papers. ”

Sitting in the co-pilot, "Are you okay, do you want to rest again?"

I'm worried about this buddy's fatigue driving: I have hundreds of millions of dollars in my pocket!

"No problem, stay safe!"

I didn't ask the passengers how they were so fast, so I went to the gas station to refuel and set off for New York.
