Chapter 012: Are You the Devil?
Noting down the lottery numbers drawn yesterday, Ronan read the file of the teaching building of the Department of Management.
After agreeing to Alice's invitation to opera, he left New York University.
I checked the cash on my body and it was only $121.
With this amount of money, you can't buy a set of clothes for high-end occasions.
Two blocks away from NYU, Ronan found a lottery shop.
The lottery shop is not the same as that of a certain country in the East, where it mainly sells power balls and Kentucky's 'odd one', in addition to some private lotteries such as instant and scratch lotteries.
The system has stated that Ronan's gold holdings are capped at $1,000.
This statement is vague and can be understood in two senses.
The first is that you can only carry $1,000 on your body, and you can save it in the card as you like.
The second is to add a card on the body, holding a total of $1,000.
The specific rules still have to be explored by yourself.
Ronan deposited a stall in front of the lottery shop and bought a Powerball bet.
The probability of winning this lottery is extremely low, about 1 in 300 million.
Choose 5 out of 69 white balls and then 1 out of 26 red balls to make a six-digit number.
After buying it, Ronan went to the $40 inn and spent the night.
At half past five in the afternoon the next day, he arrived at the door of the New York Lottery Center with his ticket and waited for the Powerball to be drawn.
Rao knew that in the next meeting, Ronan still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
It's hundreds of millions of dollars at once, and if the system is not restricted, then you will be rich.
Before the crossing, Ronan had daydreamed of winning the grand prize alone.
Before you win the lottery, you will make it clear how to spend money after winning.
At six o'clock, the Powerball is drawn.
After the staff announced that there was a lucky winner in this issue who won the grand prize, Ronan felt a little inflated.
It's not mental expansion, it's physical expansion.
BOOM!
Exploded and died.
【Character is Dead】
【Please select a file to read】
Sitting in the dark space, Ronan touched his chin.
This opportunistic way is really unreliable, but it is still necessary to be down-to-earth and take it slowly.
He read the lottery shop's files.
This time, Ronan gave up the high-value Powerball and the Difference One, and asked the boss to come up with a scratch-off private lottery.
For $5 a piece, he bought 24 for $120, scratching one by one.
The first wave was not very lucky, only winning a small prize of $30 and losing $90.
The owner of the lottery shop was a man in his forties with a gray beard and a blue and white hat.
Due to the high calorie intake for a long time, the body is a little bloated.
Seeing that the handsome guy in front of him was unfavorable, he seemed to smile and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, this morning, noon, and evening, sooner or later." ”
"It's fine. Ronan made a note of the number 18 and chose to read it.
"Boss, give me twenty-four scratch tickets, and don't want the first twenty-four. ”
And so on and so forth......
Fifteen waves later, Ronan estimated that the prize money should be enough for $1,000, and chose to read the file again.
"Boss, I want the 18th, 37th, 57th, 81st, 101st ......"
Ronan reported a string of numbers in one breath and put one hundred and twenty dollars on the table.
"Huh. The shopkeeper chuckled and scoffed at Ronan's approach.
This kind of low-probability scratch lottery, if you can win the lottery by jumping, then he doesn't have to open this store.
"Boss, this one hit, $30. ”
"Boss, this one is also available, $1. ”
"Boss, this one too, $5. ”
"Boss, and this one, $500. ”
As more and more winning tickets were scraped out, the boss's face became more and more ugly.
Is this person stepping on shit luck, how can he pick one of them, so evil?
"A total of $986, thank you. ”
The owner of the lottery shop frowned, holding the lottery ticket and checking it repeatedly, always feeling that something was wrong.
But the ticket is his own, and it doesn't make sense to say that others are cheating.
After grinding for a long time, the boss could only admit it and redeem the bonus.
With the money in hand, Ronan overwrites the previous archive and goes to the nearest shopping mall.
A high-end suit costs as little as three or four thousand dollars, which he can't afford to buy with his current financial means.
The kind of suit that costs less than $100 looks too cheap, like a certain treasure hit.
He doesn't like to compare them repeatedly, as long as he looks at them, he buys them directly.
After purchasing a suit and trousers, tie and leather shoes, there was still $212 left.
Ronan's shoulders weren't so straight, and the shoulders of his suit couldn't hold it up.
For this reason, the enthusiastic female clerk also gave two shoulder pads for free.
After helping him tidy up his clothes, he didn't forget to slap his ass, which made Ronan very embarrassed.
Comb your hair to look like an adult and put on a handsome suit.
"Looks pretty handsome. Standing in front of the mirror, Ronan was narcissistic and stinky, and finally understood why women like to look in the mirror.
The curvature of this kind of mirror in the store must have been adjusted, visually elongating the legs, and it looks higher than it actually is.
Leaving the mall, Ronan covers the archive and heads to the lottery site.
The boss saw that the handsome guy who had changed into a suit was back again, and subconsciously took down the box of scratching tickets.
"Boss, I want to ......"
"Not for sale!" the boss put his hands in his pockets, with a proud gesture of what you can do.
Like this kind of private lottery ticket redemption, the shopkeeper usually sticks the money himself.
It's just that this young man is too evil today, and he won't be stupid enough to post it upside down again.
"No, I want to buy a three-digit guess, can I open it every ten minutes?"
The boss's gaze wandered back and forth on Ronan, but he still acquiesced.
Without it, the scratch ticket may be fake, but he can't cheat with the random private lottery of the computer.
This kind of private lottery is two dollars a bet, and the whole win is only $100, and the probability of winning is one in a thousand.
"$100 first. Ronan randomly reported three numbers.
The boss gave him a strange look and quietly followed the twenty-dollar bet.
A few minutes later, the results of the draw came out.
5、1、4。
None of them hit.
"Another $100. Ronan casually reported three digits, and his slightly regretful look made the boss feel refreshed.
This kind of person who has excellent luck at the beginning is not uncommon.
Once the bet is doubled, there are not a few who have won all the losses before.
This time, the boss didn't call.
Ten minutes later.
7、4、1。
Seeing that the handsome guy didn't win the lottery, the boss's heart blossomed, and the haze in his heart was swept away.
Let you pretend to compare, this time it's a loss, hahahahaha.
With such a mockery in his heart, the boss's face showed a sad and regretful look, as if he was the one who lost the money: "Young man, I think you are lucky, why don't you buy more?"
Ronan looked at the only $12 left in his pocket and chose to read the file.
The timeline goes back to when he just left the shopping mall and came to the lottery shop.
Seeing that the handsome guy who had changed into a suit was back again, the boss took down the box of scratching tickets.
"Boss, I want to ......"
"Not for sale!" his answer was still so firm.
"No, I want to buy a three-digit guess, can I open it every ten minutes?"
Seeing the other party's acquiescence, Ronan took out sixteen dollars and put it on the table: "I buy 514, 8 times the investment, thank you." ”
The boss stared at him back and forth, but still took the ticket.
Hey, he's not a believer today.
This handsome guy is really so lucky, he will close the door directly today.
The matter of scratching the lottery ticket, there is no way, he admits it.
But this random number on the computer, he didn't believe that the handsome guy's luck was still so good.
Ten minutes later.
"Boss, claim the prize. ”
Ronan saw him stiffening on the chair with the ticket, and wanted to reach out and push it, but he waved his hand to block it: "Don't touch me!"
The owner of the lottery shop has a black face, and the emotions on his face are extremely complicated.
At Ronan's urging, he pulled out eight hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the table.
Taking the money, Ronan counted as he walked.
Of the eight hundred dollars just now, there was an extra ten dollars.
At this moment, Ronan has more than a thousand dollars, reaching $1,006.
Feeling his body gradually expanding, he hurriedly turned back and saw the lottery shop owner about to pull down the roller shutter door.
"Boss. Ronan raised the ten dollars in his hand and tried to return it to him.
The lottery shop owner's pupils shrank when he heard this, thinking that he was still going to bet, and his face was a little ugly: "Are you the devil?"
"Clams?"
