Chapter 193: Let's Win the Prize Together!

Link frowned when he heard Fren's explanation, as if he was making a very important decision.

After a long time, he asked Fren, "Are you worried that if we sell short, we will be eaten directly by those institutions?"

"Yes. I think they'll be happy to see us in. Whether we're buying or selling, they have the power to eat us. They've always done that. "Fren was glad Link could see the situation. "You know, we've got billions of dollars, which seems like a lot. But our opponent may be a few big conglomerates behind it. We can't afford to play with them. ”

Link can actually do it on his own. But he feared that his own strength was not strong enough. If there is no reaction in the market, he is also worried that there is not much he can do.

But he also knew that it would be difficult to convince Fren that it would be difficult to risk all of Stoll's funds. Still, he decided to give it a try.

He drank the red wine slowly, his brow furrowed. He was almost done with a glass of red wine before he looked up and said, "Fren, how about we bet on my luck?"

"Link, luck is a kind of strength though. But in the face of absolute strength, luck does not play a decisive role. I can't put all my power into a battle with no hope of victory just because I believe in your luck. ”

Link smiled and said, "No, I'm not talking about betting, I don't want you to put your money into GE's game right away. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"I hope to do something to convince you that my luck is really good. ”

Flon also seemed to be interested, and said with a smile: "Actually, I also want to know if your luck is as good as I thought." But how are you going to prove it?"

Link laughed and said, "Today is Powerball and Mega Millions draw day. I'm going to buy one random Powerball and one Mega Millions ticket each. If I hit the jackpot in both lotteries. You will admit that my luck can go against the sky. As soon as one of the jackpots misses, I abandon my plans. What do you think?"

Flon laughed and said, "Well, if you really win the jackpot in both lotteries at the same time, I think God is your own father." What reason do I have to deny your luck?"

He paused and joked, "Anyway, even if Stoll goes out of business, I'll still be much richer than I was two years ago." ”

Link smiled and said, "If Stoll loses all of his winnings, I'll give you half of my winnings." ”

Fren laughed and said, "That's not a good idea! Gift tax is higher than inheritance tax, and I can't afford to pay that tax." ”

Link laughed and said, "If you don't want it, then put the bonus into our plan as well?"

"It's too early to talk about charcoal or microwave before we hit the duck! We should go buy lottery tickets first!" Flon said, agreeing to make a bet with Link.

There are also many lotteries in the United States, but there are no national lotteries. Powerball and Mega Millions are both the largest and most popular lotteries in the United States by sales.

With the Powerball and Mega Millions deals, most states will be able to buy both lotteries at the same time.

And there are many places where you can buy lottery tickets, such as supermarkets and some convenience stores.

Flenn took Link to a 24-hour shop near the Peng building and said, "You can buy lottery tickets here." ”

The two walked into the store, and there was a chubby elderly woman inside. She seemed to know Fren: "Mr. Pete." Oh, look, who else? Mr. Hans, I didn't think there were two billionaires in my store. ”

The woman said exaggeratedly, but the smile on her face seemed to be joking: "Two rich gentlemen, do you need anything?"

Furlen smiled and said, "Yes, Lisa. We're going to buy lottery tickets. ”

"God, are you going to rob us poor of our only chance to get rich?"

"Actually, I don't think so, but we're making a bet. Link said with a smile and took out six dollars. "Please help me play two random tickets, one each for Powerball and Mega Millions. ”

"Random numbers, Powerball and Mega Millions. Looks like you're not going to rob us poor. Lisa skillfully manipulated the computer for a while, and quickly printed out the two tickets. "Can I ask you what kind of bet you are making? I heard that your gambling luck is very strong! Maybe I can make a little profit on it. ”

Flon laughed and said, "Maybe you can buy a lottery ticket with the numbers he just bought." He said he could hit the jackpot. ”

"Really, though I'd love to believe it. But there are always a lot of people who say that they can win the lottery. But I've never seen someone say that actually won the jackpot, and I haven't seen the second prize. Lisa said after collecting the money. "But bless you. Also, you're doing it right. Mr. Hans, you should be in charge of your own business!"

Link was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was talking about his wind power plan.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for your support!" he paused and said. "You really don't think about buying a lottery ticket?"

"Thank you for the advice, but I never buy lottery tickets. ”

Link smiled and said, "Maybe you won't watch the lottery either!"

"Of course, I won't watch it!"

Link nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved." He said and said to Flann. "You're not going to buy a copy?"

Fren thought for a moment and said to Lisa, "Help me buy twenty times each according to his number!"

"Hey. That's a bit excessive!"

"Haha, you can buy the same multiplier too!"

Link, of course, can't show weakness, he bought twenty-five times at one time, plus the one note he just bought, twenty-six notes, the number is the highest number of bets that an individual can buy in a period in the rules of both lotteries.

Furlen smiled and said, "I don't know if there is a jackpot prize of 2.2 billion in this period." ”

"Don't you even know the prize pool? The Powerball prize pool has increased to 1.75 billion. However, Mega Millions has only accumulated to nearly 1.2 billion. Lisa handed the lottery ticket to Link. "Of course, if you win the jackpot, I think you can get at least $2.7 billion in total. ”

Link didn't pay much attention to the prize pool, he used to pay attention to it when he was working in Las Vegas, but he didn't pay much attention to it since. He didn't expect the prize money to be so high in this issue.

When they left, a young man came in to buy a lottery ticket.

The young man wrote out the number he wanted to buy and handed it to Lisa. After buying a twelve-dollar Powerball, he asked, "Lisa, is that Asian good guy just now Link Hans?"

"Yes. You've been looking at him for a long time, and I thought you recognized him. ”

"It turned out to be him. But what is he doing here? Is it also buying lottery tickets?"

"Oh yes. He said he was making a bet with Flren Pitt. Bet he'll hit the jackpot!"

"Really? That Chinatown mogul Flon Pitt. ”

The young man was interested. He asked, "What number did he buy?"

"It's a trade secret, Michael. You have to know the rules!"

"Please, Lisa! No one can guarantee that you'll win Powerball! I just want to buy a ticket with the same numbers as a rich man. I knew it wasn't going to win. But maybe in a few years it will appreciate. You know, Link Hans is famous now. ”

Lisa thought about it and decided that he was right. How can anyone dare to say that they will definitely win the lottery, and Link is a random number bought. She was about to say the numbers, only to find that she only remembered the Powerball ticket, which included three white balls and the Powerball.

"Come on, Lisa. You remember, or he left a piece of paper. ”

"He bought the numbers randomly. So do you really want to buy his number?"

Michael actually plans to try his luck with Link. Although the name of the God of Gambling is very loud. But he listened to many people who had a lot of luck with Link. That's why he planned to buy it. But now he only knows the three white ball numbers. If he were to buy the same number as Link, he would have to buy three thousand six hundred and seventy-five dollars.

Even if he believed in Link's luck, he wouldn't believe that Link would definitely win the jackpot. So of course he was not willing to spend so much money to pursue the "same number" as Link. He thought about it for a while, and finally chose two more numbers according to the few numbers Lisa remembered, and then bought a Powerball bet. As for Mega Millions, he was also out of interest.

As soon as Michael left the convenience store, he immediately took out his phone and took a picture of the photo and uploaded it to his social networking site.

He left a message on it: "This Powerball, and the Las Vegas God of Gamblers lottery ticket have three identical white ball numbers and the same Powerball." Hopefully it will bring me $85 in revenue. ”

He uploaded it, and also specially @ Link: "Mr. Gambler, next time you buy a lottery ticket, can you say where to buy it three hours in advance? I'll charter a plane to rush over and buy the same model with you!"

Link didn't know anyone @ him. But there are a lot of people who pay attention to Link. I saw someone say that Link actually bought a lottery ticket. Of course, there will be no fewer people who are interested.

Soon someone found Michael's social networking site. Young people love to make trouble. Many young people followed him and began to buy lottery tickets with him, and some people asked him if the three numbers were the same as Link's.

Michael saw that there were suddenly so many people on his social networking site, and as soon as he was excited, he posted the three white ball numbers that were the same as Link's lottery on the social networking site. He also jokingly said on it: "Three thousand six hundred and seventy-five dollars is too expensive for me, maybe you can buy all the numbers." Maybe there will be a jackpot. Then set a record for the lowest jackpot prize in history. ”

The jackpot of the lottery cannot be less than twice the second prize. If the second prize is almost high, the jackpot is $40,000. Because the second prize is at least $20,000.

Of course, people who know the news are just jokingly buying a lottery ticket. However, it was not the same as Michael's number, but the two numbers he chose were replaced. Those young people who bought lottery tickets posted their tickets on social networking sites to see who had bought the same lottery tickets as themselves.

To make it easier, they posted pictures of the lottery tickets on Link's social networking sites so that everyone could compare them. In one fell swoop, there were nearly 80,000 more messages on Link's social networking site with only one lottery ticket.

That caught the attention of some reporters who were watching Link.

Amanda Heard is the only journalist to have done an interview with Link. In the so-called treasure incident, it was he who conducted an exclusive interview with Link.

Link has rarely been interviewed since then. Now, no reporter can interview Link. Link lives on a large farm, and it's a simple one. No reporter can afford to guard Link in the same way as the paparazzi. So there aren't many opportunities for the media to interview Link.

Amanda has been keeping an eye on Link. However, she has asked several times to give Link an interview, but has never been agreed to by Link. The most recent was when Link's wind power project was under pressure from the media. That time, of course, she didn't succeed either.

But this time, she thought she should be able to interview Link. It was an interesting little story, and Link should be willing to give his opinion.
