2. Lottery
At this time, although it is almost late at night, the barbecue stalls on the street are still in full swing, and many people are still having dinner, so the street is not deserted. In the old community of Chengdong Vegetable Market, there are also many people who enjoy the shade downstairs, and even move the TV set to the open air to watch together.
At the entrance of the Hongzhang community, there is a lottery shop under the big banyan tree, and there are still many people chatting. The results of the lottery are shown on the television. Zhou Xiaoqiang walked through the door, and found that Uncle Liu next door was still holding a pen and paper and calculating seriously, his name is Liu Qingguo, he is a pork dealer, but his biggest hobby is to buy lottery tickets, I heard that he once won the third prize of the two-color ball, with a bonus of 3,000 yuan, and since then he has been out of control, often buying lottery tickets, and the money thrown into it has long been unknown to tens of thousands. His wife Aunt Liu often quarreled with him for this, and even asked him to hand over all the money he paid for selling pork during the day, but Liu Qingguo could always get private money and bought lottery tickets without exception.
"Oh, Zhou Xiaoqiang, you're only coming back now, it just so happened that I was trying to choose a number for my uncle, and I was struggling between these two numbers. Liu Qingguo pulled Zhou Xiaoqiang.
Zhou Xiaoqiang broke free and said: "Uncle Liu, your hands still have so much oil, didn't you go home to wash your hands?
Liu Qingguo said: "She dares, see if I don't clean her up." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang looked at Liu Qingguo playfully and said, "Really, do you want me to tell Aunt Liu what she said just now?"
Liu Qingguo said embarrassedly: "Come on, don't make a mess, don't let her know it." Help me see if I can pick 13 or 31. ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang looked at the two numbers on Liu Qingguo's notebook, and at this time he found that the blue phantom star actually flew to the top of the 13th. Zhou Xiaoqiang was shocked, could it be that tomorrow's two-color ball will be opened on the 13th?
But it's easy to verify, and we'll have the answer tomorrow.
Zhou Xiaoqiang paused slightly, and then said: "Uncle Liu, I think 13 is more likely, choose this." ”
Liu Qingguo said: "Okay, if you win, you will have a share, hahaha!"
Liu Qingguo buried himself in filling in the lottery ticket seriously, just like they filled in the answer sheet during the exam.
The two-color ball will be opened tomorrow, but now it is a sports lottery called 11 to 5, from 1 to 11 of the 11 numbers out of 5 as the winning number, 2 yuan per note, but the highest can get a bonus of 540 yuan. The winning rate is not low.
If it were usual, Zhou Xiaoqiang would not buy lottery tickets, but tonight's situation is a bit special. He decided to try the change that Phantasmal Star would bring.
Zhou Xiaoqiang sat down, drew out a lottery number card, and was ready to bet on 5 out of 11, when the phantom star really began to move, constantly staying on the 6 numbers of 01/05/07/09/10/11. Zhou Xiaoqiang was entangled, why 6 and not 5? Isn't the phantom star accurately predicted? Or is it just a range to increase the probability of winning the lottery and increase the luck of winning the lottery, but it can't accurately predict the future?
However, he touched his pocket, and found that he only had 12 yuan, if the 6 numbers were combined into a group of 6 in 5 compound betting methods, the cost was just 12 yuan, is this a coincidence? Zhou Xiaoqiang decided, according to the 6 in 5 multiple betting method betting, there is still the last minute betting time, Zhou Xiaoqiang handed over the 12 yuan in his pocket to the boss, and played the multiple-entry lottery ticket of the above numbers. All that's left is to wait for the results.
Three minutes later, Zhou Xiaoqiang happily jumped out, the result of the lottery was 01/05/07/09/10, the double lottery was won, the prize was 540 yuan, and 12 yuan was more than 20 times. This money is enough for him but half a month's living expenses.
Zhou Xiaoqiang wanted to tell his parents about this, but he stabilized his mind, how could he tell others such a thing, and others couldn't see this phantom star, such as Qin Wu. After thinking about it, Zhou Xiaoqiang decided not to say it.
Zhou Xiaoqiang's parents will buy vegetables in the market during the day, come back for a meal, and after dinner, they will go to the vegetable field rented on the outskirts of the city to grow vegetables.
"Dad, Mom, I will let you live a good life, from today onwards!" Zhou Xiaoqiang thought as he looked at the phantom star suspended in his chest.
Zhou Xiaoqiang handed the lottery ticket to the boss and said, "Boss Huang, see if I won!"
Boss Huang lifted his reading glasses, looked at the results, and checked them again with the machine, and after brushing them, he really hit them!
Boss Huang smiled: "Didn't you win! Xiao Zhou, your luck is so good!"
When everyone saw Zhou Xiaoqiang win, they all congratulated him happily, saying that he was the biggest prize tonight.
Everyone wants to buy 5 out of 11 again, but it's the last issue of today. Boss Huang is also very happy, if someone wins, more people will try their luck and drive sales, and the commission will only be more, anyway, the bonus is not better than him. You don't need an ID card to receive these hundreds of dollars. Boss Huang handed over 540 yuan to Zhou Xiaoqiang, and said: "Although you are lucky today, you are still studying, you can't learn Liu Qingguo, you know, otherwise I will tell your parents!" Boss Huang knew that Zhou Xiaoqiang was still a student, and he was afraid that he would go astray.
Zhou Xiaoqiang knew that Boss Huang also had good intentions, and said: "I know, Boss Huang, I wish you a prosperous business!"
At this time, Liu Qingguo came and said: "Lao Huang, you are not authentic, how much money have I contributed to you, and besides, buying lottery tickets is also contributing to the national welfare, how can I be a negative teaching material! Hey, Zhou Xiaoqiang, you can, you will be hit by my toilet work!"
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "Boss Huang is also good for me, come on, the elders here tonight, everyone will listen to the beer, and I will have a treat!" Zhou Xiaoqiang saw that there were only 6 people here, so he didn't care about the few dollars.
Boss Huang said: "It's very good, Xiao Zhou, let everyone touch your good luck." ”
The shop immediately burst into laughter and joy.
......
Walking into the Hongzhang community, there is a complex smell here, perhaps this is the taste of fireworks in the world and the taste of the world in the community for decades.
Zhou Xiaoqiang's family lives on the sixth floor, which is already the top floor, and he can still feel that the walls are warm at night, and naturally even more during the day, which is the reason why he is reluctant to stay at home.
Even the doorknob is still hot!
Zhou Xiaoqiang shook his head, it is estimated that his whole body will be wet tonight, whether to turn on the air conditioner, he is a little entangled, after all, the electricity bill is very expensive.
"Forget it, let's turn on the air conditioner, it's a big deal to run a few more lottery stations tomorrow and get some money to improve your life...... No, if I can always win the lottery, will I be checked for the water meter?" Zhou Xiaoqiang thought of the danger of doing this, once he attracted the attention of others, he would have no secrets to speak of, and it was very likely that he would become a tool and the object of research used by others. After thinking about the appearance of slicing specimens in the experimental class, Zhou Xiaoqiang dispelled the idea of going to the lottery station again to get money.
