Chapter 144: Crazy Lottery (Part II)
Seven days, not to mention Chang'an City, even if it is a few cities around Chang'an City, there are people who come to buy, otherwise there will be no 30 million Fucai. As for the farther away,That's only sorry,Five o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day,If it exceeds this time,Stop selling fucai。 To buy, please hurry up at eight o'clock the next morning!
Many people buy lottery tickets and go back, after all, they know that the newspaper will announce the winning numbers the next day, and if they win the lottery at that time, they will come to redeem huàn. But more people, especially those who bought before 5 p.m. on the seventh day, chose to stay in Chang'an City and watch the lottery on the spot.
This also indirectly boosted Chang'an's economy, which surprised the people in Congress.
At half past seven in the evening, under everyone's attention, the new lottery is about to begin!
At the lottery site, the lights were bright, and all the light was concentrated on the lottery platform. It is still a notary sent by Congress,The notary sent by Fucai,It's still the last lottery,With the arrival of time,The lottery officially began.
The first lottery really touched the hearts of thousands of lottery players. Everyone looked at the podium and at the tumbling numbers.
The first number appeared, the number 17, and as the number was announced, at least fifty percent of the people present cheered. Obviously, they are all winners, which means that they have won at least ten cents.
The second number appeared, the number 8, and as the numbers were announced, there were many fewer people cheering this time, but it looked like hundreds of people had won.
The third number appeared, and many people were looking forward to it, expecting someone to guess it. Sure enough, as the third number 32 appeared, at least thirty people cheered. Their luck was so good that they won a hundred yuan, or five yuan, which is equivalent to one-seventh of the wages of many workers.
The fourth number began to be drawn, and many people's breathing became short, and many people may wonder if any of those winners even won the fourth number. As the fourth number 12 appeared, there was actually a cheer. Everyone really didn't expect that someone would actually win.
The lucky winner will receive 500 yuan, which is converted into 10 yuan in new banknotes, which is equivalent to one-third of the basic salary of many workers.
It's just that when the fifth number 40 was announced, the lucky winner's luck seemed to run out......
Many people saw it in their eyes, and secretly said in their hearts that the newspaper's bombardment of propaganda in the past seven days was really right. It's not easy to win the lottery, and there's no need to break the bank to play this. However, thinking of the lucky one, two cents and five yuan were exchanged for ten yuan, and he made forty times the profit at once...... It seems that it is always possible to buy two a month.
The next day, as the newspaper announced the number, some people who did not come to participate were naturally happy and some smiled bitterly. Someone bought a hundred tickets and won one or two consolation prizes, and someone bought one and made ten dollars. But what is amazing is that on the third day of the newspaper, it was the front page that announced that Yang from Baishui County won the special prize. In other words,Only two issues of fucai,The first lucky one appeared.
Two hundred and twenty thousand five hundred taels of silver, which became the prize of this Yang, immediately made people blush. It's a pity that no one knows who Yang is except himself. Besides, the law and order in the republic has always been very good, and no one has committed crimes against the wind.
It's just that many people are also worried that the grand prize has been earned, will the welfare lottery continue?
Who knows,On the fourth day, Fucai issued a statement specifically through guò "Daily",Fucai continued,But the grand prize returned to 200,000 taels of silver。 And from the new issue onwards, it will be paid in new banknotes, not directly in silver. In other words, 200,000 taels of silver can probably be exchanged for 2 million yuan in new banknotes.
The new banknotes have been on sale some time ago, and under the short-term exchange storm, they have stabilized, and many places have also recognized this new type of banknotes. The most important thing is that the anti-counterfeiting technology of this banknote is very good, and it can also be exchanged for huàn into a full amount of gold, silver and copper coins, so the people are willing to accept this thing. The new banknote of 2 million yuan, at least the people of the republic, is still acceptable, mainly because the credibility of the government of the republic is still very high.
It's a pity that I can't feel the heavy feeling of 200,000 taels of silver.
Fucai internal,At the moment is also doing something else,That is, the issue of investment. The Ministry of Welfare and Lottery said that the point of sale will be outsourced, which means that everyone can participate. To put it simply, it is a merchant who specializes in opening a store that sells welfare lottery tickets, and then buying welfare lottery and coding machines from the welfare lottery department. Welfare lottery tickets that are not sold out at the end of the month can be returned to the Welfare Lottery Department, and after verification that they are genuine, this part of the payment will be returned.
This can ensure at least one thing,That is, each period of the fucai,It is the current period to redeem huàn,Save someone from taking the previous lottery to talk about things.
That Yang, the lottery ticket in his hand was repeatedly checked to confirm that there was no problem, and then he cashed it for him. There were also people who took fake ...... Here I have to admire the Chinese people's cottage consciousness, only the second issue of someone dared to copycat lottery, but unfortunately they still know too little about the Tao inside...... Someone directly tried to exchange the fake one, but was soon caught by the police. According to the crime of fraud, even if it is an attempted fraud, according to the amount of fraud, this benevolent brother was sentenced to thirty years in prison, and it can be said that this life is ruined.
This matter was also reported in a big book, and this benevolent brother will come out in the future, but I am afraid that he will not have the face to go home.
Although there was a grand prize winner this time, businessmen, especially retailers, still saw the prospect of the welfare lottery, so they signed an agreement with the welfare lottery department, and officially began to join the ranks of selling the welfare lottery. However, if they want to open a store, it will take at least half a month, right?
In this case, the third draw has begun.
This time the fucai purchase,Actually reached 50 million,But per capita is much less. In other words, the per capita purchase of welfare lottery tickets has declined, which is the result that both Congress and Zhang Hongbin would like to see. This means that the guiding effect of the newspaper has played a role.
It's a pity that when the third draw is over, until the end of the fourth draw, there is no winner of the grand prize. But because of this,Let the people of the Fucai Department breathe a sigh of relief。 After all, if there are people who win the lottery every time,Then the fucai department really can't go on.
The second and third periods,Fucai Department earned 12.5 million yuan in dividends,After deducting the amount of money that the people won the lottery and came to redeem huàn,The remaining dividends are still a lot. The welfare lottery is based on the principle of openness, and the amount of money earned is announced to the public, but at the beginning of the third period, it is said that 70% of the money earned will be invested in public welfare, that is, it will be invested in the social donation department of the Hope Project Fund, and the remaining 30% will be accumulated into the bonus.
A lot of people don't have a problem with that, as long as it doesn't go into the pockets of officials, or some people's pockets.
Someone jokingly said: "The response to voluntary donations is not high, but this passive donation is very popular, but at the same time, you can hope to win a big prize, and it doesn't hurt to be more passive!" ”
Perhaps, this is the value of the welfare lottery deposit.
