Chapter 94: Welfare Lottery (Part I)
After the mid-term exams, the school has a two-day routine holiday as teachers take time to mark the exam papers.
Su Qingzhi didn't go home immediately, he carried his schoolbag, walked around the county, and walked into the only welfare lottery station.
In this era,Fucai has not been popularized on a large scale,The number of lottery players is limited,The main purpose of buying lottery tickets is for entertainment,Few people have the mentality of getting rich overnight.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the lottery station had just opened, and he was the first lottery player to come to the door today.
"Little brother, buy a lottery ticket?"
The owner of the lottery station, named Ma Shouquan, wears heavy glass glasses, holds a pencil in his hand, and is tilting his head to draw a chart of two-color balls.
Su Qingzhi paced into the room, looked left and right for a moment, and asked, "What kinds of lottery tickets are there?"
Ma Shouquan stopped depicting the trend chart, straightened up, and introduced to him: "Scratch, two-color ball, Heluo Fengcai, Tiantianle." β
Su Qingzhi asked: "What are the ways to play scratch music?"
Ma Shouquan lifted the frame of his glasses and said with a smile: "Although our store is small, there are all kinds of ways to play, such as gifts from heaven, Chinese stories, joy, magic pen Ma Liang, race against time, etc., with different denominations and different bonuses." β
Su Qingzhi looked at the counter glass for a while, pointed to some kind of scratch and said, "Race against time, give me 20 notes." β
"Race against time" belongs to the face value of 2 yuan, and 20 notes totaling 40 yuan.
This lottery is relatively simple to play, the ticket will give a standard time, after buying a lottery ticket, scratch the scratch area, if "your time" is shorter than "standard time", you will win the prize under "your time".
Of course, if "your time" is longer than "standard time", the prize cannot be won.
Each ticket has four chances to win.
According to Ma Shouquan, "Race Against Time" is divided into 9 prize levels, and the corresponding bonuses are: 50,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, 500 yuan, 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 4 yuan and 2 yuan.
Two lives, Su Qingzhi is the first time to buy a lottery ticket, but he did not pray for the lottery ticket like ordinary lottery players, in order to seek psychological comfort, the purpose of his trip is to "scatter wealth".
20 notes of lottery tickets in hand, he simply scraped all the neatly, and the result was that the winning rate of nearly 30% of the "race against time" only won 2 yuan.
It's too bad!
"Boss, 100 more bets. β
He has 10,000 yuan in cash in his school bag, and if nothing else, he will smash it all into it today.
Ma Shouquan saw him roll up his sleeves, looking like he would not stop if he didn't win the jackpot, knowing that he had met a "fat customer", "hehe" smiled and said: "Making a fortune is like buying a lottery ticket, and people who don't buy lottery tickets will never win the lottery...... The little brother is so courageous, he will definitely be rich and prosperous in the future. β
Su Qingzhi glanced at him, and naturally knew what Ma Shouquan was thinking crookedly, afraid that he would treat him as a wronged boss and prepare to pit him......
When the scratch was in hand, he leaned on the edge of the table, buried his head in scraping, and kept the winning ones, and threw the ones who didn't win them directly into the trash.
Ma Shouquan was dumbfounded, and his eyes almost bulged out.
He has lived a lot of years, or the first time to see such a scratch game, won the lottery without a little joy, did not win the lottery is not discouraged, as if not winning the lottery has nothing to do with him a dime, 100 lottery tickets were scraped by him in less than 10 minutes.
"3 for 2 yuan, 4 for 4 yuan, and 1 for 10 yuan, a total of 32 yuan. Ma Shou cleared all the winning denominations and cashed him out directly.
The denomination of 100 notes "racing against time" is 200 yuan, excluding the 32 yuan that won the lottery, Su Qingzhi lost 168 yuan, which is equivalent to a month's salary of ordinary workers.
"Another 100 bets. β
He sighed, scratching the lottery ticket was originally a pit, and the total loss was more than the middle, and now he took the initiative to jump in, and it is difficult to say whether 10,000 yuan can be thrown into it.
However, 10,000 yuan is only, and with his current financial resources, he can afford to lose.
"Little brother, a small gamble is pleasant, a big gamble hurts your body, or don't you forget it?"
Ma Shou is not calm at all, there must be a limit to the pit people, he will have to mix on the ground in Longyu County in the future, and he will not dare to do things absolutely.
The old lottery players bought a three-two note at a time, and won the lottery to be happy, which was an unexpected joy, and did not win the lottery and would not be sad for the three or five dollars.
Like Su Qingzhi scratching lottery tickets "mad demon", a shot is hundreds of notes, from his point of view, this kind of lottery player is of course the more the better, because the more lottery tickets are sold, he can earn more.
But everything has to have a degree,Buying lottery tickets is different from others,Basically, the more you buy, the more you lose,In case of losing to bankruptcy,Looking for death and life at the lottery station,It will have a bad impact.
"What's the matter, boss, you are not happy to send you money?" Su Qingzhi said angrily.
Ma Shouquan said: "That's what I said, but that's not how things are done. β
Su Qingzhi ignored him, took out a 200 yuan bill from his schoolbag, shook it in his hand, and said: "I won't tell you, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that I would definitely win the jackpot if I bought a lottery ticket today, you don't get in the way of my fortune, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you!"
Ma was helpless and put another 100 scratch tickets.
Su Qingzhi was tired of shaving, so he beckoned Ma Shouquan to come over and help him shave together.
Ten minutes later, the winning tickets were counted again, totaling 42 yuan, and another 158 yuan was lost.
If you count the previous one, in just half an hour, Su Qingzhi lost 364 yuan.
"Boss, I've already smelled the jackpot, hurry up, give me another 1000 bets." β
Su Qingzhi grabbed 20 100 yuan bills from his schoolbag and slapped them on the counter with pride.
Ma Shouquan was shocked by his magnanimity, his eyes were hooked, he swallowed and spit, and asked, "Little brother, are you...... It's a joke, right?"
Su Qingzhi pretended to be impatient, slapped the table and shouted: "Hey, I said boss, what do you mean? Look at me like a joke? β
Ma Shouquan stared at the turn of banknotes with small eyes, settled down again, swallowed his saliva again, and said: "I have a small business, and all scratch tickets may not add up to 1,000 notes." β
Su Qingzhi asked, "What is the largest denomination?"
Ma Shouquan said: "5 pieces." β
Su Qingzhi said: "No matter what type of scratch ticket, give me 1,000 bets, the more you buy this thing, the higher the chance of winning the jackpot." β
Ma Shouquan said silently in his heart: "The more you buy, the more you lose......"
Welfare lottery in Longyu County belongs to the "niche",Not as bad as the later generations,Limited players,Ma thin lottery station is a small business,Not much inventory,All scratch tickets all add up,A total of 998,Face value 2296 yuanγ
Su Qingzhi wrapped up all these lottery tickets, and then sat in the lottery pile to scrape one by one, it didn't take much effort, the nail cover hurt, he asked: "Find me a tool, you see my nails are scratched red." β
Ma Shouquan pulled out a handful of corundum from the toolbox and threw it to him: "Use this." β
He tried it, and it was quite easy, so he smiled and said: "Boss, come over and help, there are more than 900 sheets, when will I scrape alone." β
This time, it took nearly half an hour for the two to work together to scratch off all the more than 900 lottery tickets.
Ma Shouquan found a calculator to calculate the amount of the winning, and calculated a total of 198 yuan.
Su Qingzhi was speechless, the probability of this cheat!
