For several days in a row, poor Carrie was immersed in the worry of bankruptcy, and in order to avoid the father and daughter being cornered, Carrie deliberately ate less these days.

Staying up until the weekend, Carrie finally couldn't resist having a showdown with Goofy, who was sitting on the couch.

"Dad, Dad, are we about to be eaten poor by me?"

Goofy looked back at Carrie with a confused expression: "Why do you have this idea?" ”

"I saw you go to the supermarket to buy lottery tickets...... Carrie said as she pointed to Goofy's pocket, "Did we run out of money to spend, so you went to buy lottery tickets?" You've never bought a lottery ticket before. ”

Gao Fei couldn't cry or laugh, stretched out his hand and rubbed Carrie's head: "Silly girl, people who are about to go bankrupt won't buy lottery tickets, and the people who buy lottery tickets are people who are at least some wealthy people at hand." I bought the lottery ticket on a whim, for no other reason. ”

"I see......," Carrie finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't mean to eat less if I knew I wouldn't have eaten less." ”

Gao Fei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Wait...... You said you're ...... these days. Eating less on purpose? ”

"That's right!" Carrie's eyes widened aggrievedly, "Didn't you notice that I used to eat ten pizzas per meal, and I've only eaten nine recently!" ”

"This ......"

Goofy is almost amused, this is deliberately eating less?

Girl, do you think that reducing the cost of meals by one-tenth every day can successfully resolve the family's economic crisis?

"Silly girl......" Gao Fei pinched Carrie's face, "Don't worry, Dad won't let our family go bankrupt." ”

With that, he picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and ten minutes later it was time to announce the winning numbers.

"Your dad has a good way to make money, come on, and the next thing is the time to witness the miracle!"

Seeing Goofy's look of interest, Carrie couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

She felt that her old father was too naïve, and the lottery winning rate was extremely low.

Thousands of people buy lottery tickets every day throughout New York, and the lottery prize pool is accumulating more and more, but there are very few who win, and the odds of winning are not as high as the odds of being struck by lightning......

There's really no hope for pie in the sky or something.

"Goofy Dad, I think you're still realistic, work hard, and strive to be promoted to sheriff as soon as possible......," Carrie persuaded in earnest.

Goofy was preoccupied with the lottery ticket, his eyes firmly locked on the TV screen.

Ten minutes pass quickly, and it's time for the draw!

Goofy stared at the lottery ticket in his hand, checking the numbers one by one in order.

“23、37、19……”

The more Gao Fei watched it, the more excited he became, although he had seen the same routine countless times in the rebirth of the crossing, but he didn't expect that he would still be so excited when he experienced it himself!

In the new timeline, many things are different from the previous one, and Goofy is not sure if the winning numbers in this draw will change until the last number is read.

But as the last number on TV fell, Goofy couldn't help but jump for joy - the winning numbers didn't change, and the jackpot for this draw was exactly the same as the previous timeline!

"We're in! We've got it! ”

Goofy looked back at Carrie, happy as a second fool.

"We've won!"

"Really?!"

Carrie, who had disliked her father's innocence before, immediately jumped up, and she glanced at the lottery ticket in Goofy's hand in disbelief.

"Did we really win the lottery? Dad, are you sure you read that right? ”

"Definitely not wrong, absolutely not wrong!" Gao Fei was afraid that Carrie would be excited to eat the lottery ticket, so he firmly held the lottery ticket in his hand, and at the same time scanned the winning numbers on the TV.

Not a word is wrong, Goofy really won the jackpot.

"Carrie, we're rich!" Goofy couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"That's lucky! Goofy Dad, I can eat as much as I want in the future! Carrie said happily.

"That's right, whatever you want!" Goofy carefully put away the lottery ticket, and then picked up Carrie to celebrate.

————————

Soon, the relevant personnel contacted Gao Fei.

The current prize pool has accumulated 70 million prizes, but Goofy needs to split the huge amount with three other people.

Although the butterfly effect did not change the winning numbers, it did change the number of winners - in the previous timeline, only one person hit the jackpot and swallowed 70 million, but in this timeline the number of winners became four, and the amount of money each person received became 17.5 million.

However, 17.5 million is already a huge amount of money for Gao Fei, which is enough for him and Carrie to eat Haisai, in fact, with this amount of income, Gao Fei needs to worry about not how to spend, but how to invest.

It is impossible to spend so much money, and the rest of the money must be invested to earn more wealth, at least to avoid depreciation.

But Gao Fei couldn't be happy too soon, 17.5 million was just pre-tax income, and then he had to pay enough taxes before this money could become his legal income.

Now Goofy has two options – one is to pocket the money in one lump sum, and the other is to receive it over 30 years. But either way, he has to pay close to 50% of the tax.

After thinking about it for a while, Goofy chose to receive it all at once.

Pay 24% of federal taxes, up to 39.6% of personal income tax, and then 8.82% of New York's state tax......

Subtracting these taxes is the actual income of Goofy in the end.

After deducting various tax burdens, Gao Fei's final income is about 9 million.

Although this amount was much lower than the winning amount, he was already satisfied.

On the day the prize money arrived, he took Carrie to the best restaurant in Manhattan to dine, and Pepper helped book the spot, and Goofy himself booked a table to wait in line until next month.

Although the style of the father and daughter has never been heavy on weight and quality, the two of them still had a very happy meal in this luxurious lunch, and Carrie learned to eat steak quietly like an ordinary little girl, like a dignified and virtuous little princess.

"Dad, Dad, I'm a rich second generation from now on, right?" Carrie swallowed the steak in small gulps, took a sip of her drink, and asked Goofy excitedly.

Goofy smiled kindly.

"Hmm...... Sort of. ”

"So are you going to buy a luxury car? Will you pick me up and drop me off from school in the future? Hire another cell phone, wearing a suit and white gloves, to open and close the car door for me! The little girl asked daydreaming.

"Of course not." Gao Fei decisively rejected her, "Your father is a low-key person, and even the prize is redeemed anonymously, showing off wealth is not my style." ”

"That'...... So how are you going to spend the more than nine million? Dad, more than 9 million can buy an entire apartment building, right? Carrie asked, tilting her head.

Goofy nodded, more than nine million can indeed buy an apartment building in Brooklyn.

In fact, there are many investors who do this, and it's a very common way to invest in New York – buy an apartment building and rent it out to earn rent, but property taxes in New York are a headache, and apartment buildings with poor turnover often can't make ends meet.

In fact, Goofy had also thought about how to spend it after winning the lottery, who hasn't had a daydream, when his idea was to buy a building in New York, and then buy it a sky-high insurance policy, and wait until the Zetarians invaded New York and bombed it indiscriminately, Goofy could sit back and wait for the insurance claim.

But the Zetarians still have two years to arrive, and Goofy doesn't dare to ensure that the insurance company won't go bankrupt by then, not to mention that the insurance contract doesn't say anything about the alien invasion, and it will be over if it becomes force majeure at that time.

Therefore, for the disposal of more than 9 million, Gao Fei has to make another plan.
