Chapter Eighty-Six: Tarot Lottery Hall
Kelly Marcile looked Sean up and down with strange eyes, shook her head and said, "Little guy, honesty is the most valuable quality of a gentleman. ”
Sean rolled his eyes, knowing that no matter how he explained, the other party would not believe it, so he simply changed the topic and said, "Ms. Kelly, where are we going?" ”
From the moment he left the trading floor, he found that Ms. Kelly's purpose was clear, but he was completely unfamiliar with this place, so he didn't know what the other party wanted.
Kelly Marcile smiled mysteriously, pointed to the door at the end of the corridor and said, "See, that's where I'm going." ”
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something happy, and quickened her pace excitedly.
Sean was even more curious, and also quickened his pace to follow, and then the familiar security guards checked.
After passing through the inspection, the security guards opened the door, and Kelly Marcier stretched out her arms with bright eyes, as if hugging the sun.
"Sean, welcome to the lucky man's paradise, Tarot Lottery Hall."
......
It wasn't until a while that Sean woke up from his confusion, especially after Ms. Kelly had begun to tell him the rules of the tarot lottery with great interest, and he was deeply surprised and inexplicably felt that it was so reasonable.
Whether it is Ms. Kelly or the previous lawyer Martin, they all tell him in an explicit or implicit way that the transcendent is very short of money, which he has faintly felt from the price of low-level charms alone, so Ms. Kelly's obsession with the lottery seems outrageous, but it is completely in line with reality.
Even, if the price is reasonable, Sean himself wants to buy it once or twice once in a while.
However, it is important to understand the rules first.
But because of the enthusiastic and excited Ms. Kelly, Sean easily learned the general rules of the tarot lottery.
First of all, the tarot lottery is derived from the tarot cards, which were invented by the First Emperor of Ancient Rome and inspired by the ancient inscriptions that have survived to later generations and originated in the Dark Ages, which are said to have been cast by the elves of the Dark Ages.
Then there is the composition of the tarot cards, according to the setting of ancient Rome, there are 78 tarot cards, including 22 cards for the big Arcana card and 56 cards for the small Arcana.
As its name suggests, the Great Arcana card is used in the tarot to explain the general fortune of fate, and each card also reflects the different circumstances of life, so as the main card of the tarot lottery, they are the Fool, the Magician, the Priestess, the Empress, the Emperor, the Pope, the Lover, the Chariot, the Power, the Hermit, the Wheel of Fortune, the Justice, the Hanged Man, the Grim Reaper, the Temperance, the Demon, the Tower, the Star, the Moon, the Sun, the Judgment, and the World.
The small Arcana card is used to make up for the shortcomings of the big Arcana card in the tarot card, so it is used as a secondary card in the tarot lottery, which are 1 to 10 of the scepter, 1 to 10 of the star coin, 1 to 10 of the Holy Grail, 1 to 10 of the sword, and the four court cards of each suit: squire, knight, queen and king.
Finally, there are the winning rules of the tarot lottery, according to the way of 6 decks and 1 main card, the first prize is 6 decks and 1 main card are all pairs; The second prize is a full pair of 6 decks; The third prize is 5 decks and 1 main card full pair; The fourth prize is a full pair of 5 decks or 4 decks plus 1 main pair, and the rest are considered unwon.
The amount of a single bet for each tarot ticket is 10 gold coins, with a maximum of 10 notes, and the first prize is 10,000 gold coins; The second prize is 2,000 gold coins; The third prize is 100 gold coins; The fourth prize is 30 gold coins.
"It's simply ...... Grab the money! ”
As an earthling who has bought a lot of two-color balls, Sean was shocked and speechless after learning about the rules of the tarot lottery.
It's no longer a question of profiteering, a lottery ticket is up to 10 gold coins, and you have to guess at least five cards correctly to win the jackpot, in other words, unless you have a blast of luck, it's basically impossible for you to want to win.
The organizers are clearly cutting the leeks of the rich!
Sean looked at the gentlemen and ladies in the lottery hall who gathered in twos and threes to communicate in a low voice, and wondered: "Ms. Kelly, you shouldn't just ask me to buy a lottery ticket for you, right?" ”
After knowing the winning rules of the tarot lottery, he began to think about Ms. Kelly's true purpose, but after thinking about it, he couldn't understand why Ms. Kelly asked him to help buy the lottery ticket.
Kelly Marcile smiled slyly and coughed lightly, "Sean, before answering this question, do you know how many people who bought lottery tickets here have won the first prize?" ”
Sean was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Alone? ”
Kelly Marcile shook her head.
"The two?"
Kelly Marcile shook her head again, and said with a strange gaze: "In fact, there is no one, and not only the first prize, but also the second prize, no one has ever won it." ”
After a pause, she ignored Sean's stunned expression and said to herself: "Of course, this is also related to the reason why there are not many members of the club, after all, a high-end club like Red has a total of hundreds of members, and there are also some ordinary people, or members who are not qualified to enter here." ”
Sean suddenly realized, and his interest involuntarily weakened a lot, shaking his head and saying, "Then why are you still so enthusiastic?" ”
Kelly Marcile blinked, and her voice lowered again: "To tell you a secret, the tarot lottery is drawn every three days, and each time it is randomly selected by the seven members of the tarot lottery committee stationed here, hehe, fortunately, three of them happen to be my good friends." ”
Sean's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "You shouldn't be ......?"
"Shh
Kelly Marcile was startled, and quickly tiptoed to cover Sean's mouth with her hand, but soon, she reacted to such an inappropriateness, and withdrew her hand with an embarrassed face, her face flushed.
Brother Tom seemed to sense the ambiguous atmosphere in the air, and couldn't help but laugh.
Sean coughed lightly and pretended to be calm: "So, what does this have to do with me helping you buy a lottery ticket?" ”
Kelly Marcile couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Sean was very understanding and didn't mention the embarrassing scene just now, and said softly: "It's very simple, this is the benefit of every new member of the club, as long as you are a new member and it is the first time to buy a lottery ticket, you can have a chance to change a deck of cards after the lottery." ”
Sean suddenly gasped and said, "Then add your three...... Uh, friend, isn't it true to have four cards? ”
Kelly Marcile blinked, and couldn't suppress the excitement, "So you understand, right?" As long as we guess two more decks correctly, we can get the second prize, which is a full 2,000 gold, and even if we subtract the 200 gold for each of my three friends, the two of us can get 700 gold each. ”
