Chapter 11: The Unexpected "Jackpot"

"Yes." The male boss got up and took out a stack of colorful scratch prizes from the glass counter.

"This lottery is to celebrate the new Olympic Games this year, and the biggest prize is 250,000 yuan, maybe you are lucky enough to win a big prize."

"Then borrow your good words from the boss." Li Zhe smiled and said.

"This passionate dream is 10 yuan a piece, and there are 5 yuan and 3 yuan, which one do you want?" The male boss said, and took out two more stacks of lottery tickets from the counter.

"Are there many people who buy this top scrape? What awards have you ever had? Li Zhe asked seemingly casually.

"There are a lot of people who buy it, this Olympic series is very popular, the winning rate is high, hundreds of thousands of small prizes are often won, and there is a young man about your age, who scratched out 3,000 in me."

"Why don't you buy a few passionate dreams first, this has a jackpot of 250,000." The male boss agitated.

Li Zhe ignored the lottery boss's big trick, as long as he made sure that the 250,000 jackpot was still there.

"How many of these passionate dreams do you have here?"

"This pack is 60 sheets, and there are more than three packs...... There are probably more than 210 of them. The male boss counted the lottery tickets and said.

"Then I'll buy 10 to try my hand first, and I can pick it myself, right?"

Li Zhe has seen some scratch prize skills on the Internet in the past few days, and plans to try it first, maybe he will be lucky enough to scratch the 250,000 grand prize.

"Yes, you can take your pick."

Hearing that Li Zhe wanted to buy 100 yuan, the male boss suddenly became a lot more enthusiastic.

The scratch prize commission is the highest, at more than 10%, which means that Li Zhe buys a 100 yuan lottery ticket, and the lottery owner earns at least 10 yuan.

Li Zhe opened an unopened scratch ticket, selected 6 cards from the middle, then 2 more in the front and 2 in the back, and then began to scratch the ticket.

10 in the first card, 20 in the 2nd, 20 in the third, and 4th in the middle...... 30 in the 6th and 30 in the 7th...... 50 pieces in the ninth card......

It seems that this scratch trick is really useful, at least it has returned to its original cost and made a little profit, but it may also be just pure luck.

Li Zhe thought so, scratched the last lottery ticket again, and then he was stunned.

"What, scratched the jackpot?"

After the male boss noticed it, he poked his head out and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Won 5,000?" You're in good luck! ”

Don't think that 5,000 yuan is not much,Scratch prize 5,000 yuan is considered a grand prize,The probability of winning the lottery is 1 in tens of thousands,Empty more than a dozen lottery shops may not be able to win once。

This "grand prize" of 5,000 yuan was a complete surprise for Li Zhe, and it was not within his expectations.

Seeing that someone had won the jackpot, two old lottery players immediately came over, and their words were full of envy.

"This guy won five thousand?"

"You're really lucky, young man!"

The young man was also very hot-eyed, and said to the male boss: "Give me 10 of these top scratches." ”

"I'll buy a few too, and get a touch of the lad's good luck." An old lottery player also said with a smile.

"I'll buy a few to play with, too." Another old lottery player also said.

"Okay." The smile on the male boss's face was even worse, and he had to get a lottery ticket for the young man and others.

"Wait a minute." Li Zhe interrupted.

"I want all this passionate dream."

Then, he said to the young man and the two old lottery players: "I'm sorry, why don't you buy something else?" ”

The young man's face was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.

The male boss played a round and said: "It's not bad to fight for the first place, the biggest prize is 100,000 yuan, and it is also 5 yuan a piece." ”

An old lottery player tentatively said to Li Zhe: "Young man, what are you buying such a lottery ticket for, can't you divide a few of us?" ”

Li Zhe glanced at the other party, did not speak, turned his head to the lottery shop owner and said: "I won't redeem this 5,000 yuan lottery ticket, can you just take the 5,000 yuan lottery ticket?" ”

If you win a lottery of less than 10,000 yuan, you do not need to pay taxes.

"Absolutely." The male boss hurriedly said.

For a lottery ticket of 5,000 yuan, he can get a commission of more than 500 from it.

In addition to the more than 200 passionate dreams, Li Zhe picked another package to compete for the first place, a package of Olympic gold medals, and the highest prize was 100,000 yuan.

The remaining more than 1,700 yuan he bought a scratch ticket for Fucai.

When Li Zhe left with a bag of scratch tickets, an old lottery player said funny: "This young man is quite interesting, as if he is afraid that we will rob him of his jackpot." ”

Another old lottery man said in the tone of a passer-by: "Young man, if you win a jackpot, you will go up, thinking that you can still win the jackpot, and it is estimated that the 5,000 yuan will be lost soon." ”

The owner of the lottery shop interjected with a smile: "Maybe the young man is lucky enough to scratch a jackpot of 250,000." ”

said this, but in fact, he didn't think so in his heart.

To win the jackpot so easily, he would have scratched it himself a long time ago, and what lottery tickets were sold.

Until the next day, he received a notice from the Municipal Sports Lottery Center......

……

Coming out of the lottery shop, Li Zhe did not rush home to scratch the lottery ticket, but stopped a taxi and went to the securities business hall.

When he went to the securities business hall and opened a stock account, he bought all the remaining 230,000 yuan in the card to buy a big country ship.

The big ship has soared from 4.44 yuan in June 2005 to 300 yuan in October 2007, an increase of 67 times, which can be called the highest stock in 2007.

But at this time, it was a little late to buy, and the stock price of the big country ship has skyrocketed from 37.72 yuan on January 29 to now breaking through the 100 yuan mark.

No way, who let him be reborn a little late!

……

When he got home, Li Zhe locked the door of his room and began to scratch the lottery ticket.

More than 1,300 lottery tickets, he scraped from the afternoon until it was dark at night, and his hands were sore.

I was only excited for a short time when I scratched the 250,000 grand prize, and the rest of the time was a numb scratch.

Li Zhe regretted buying so many fucai scratch tickets, the face value is too small, scratch up troublesome, more than 1,300 scratch prizes, nearly 900 are two yuan a scratch.

What's more, except for the 250,000 jackpot, more than 1,000 lottery tickets have not scratched a single jackpot, which is considered a wasted effort.

The 5,000 yuan that was accidentally scraped made Li Zhe feel that he was lucky today, and he was not prepared to really win another jackpot by luck, and it turned out that he thought too much.

Li Zhe put away the 250,000 grand prize separately and prepared to go to the City Sports Lottery Middle School tomorrow to redeem the prize.

The remaining small prizes only add up to more than 2,000, and 5,000 yuan is more than half lost.

The return rate on the surface of scratch prizes is 65%, but this includes the jackpot, and the actual winning rate is mostly between 30% and 40%.

Ordinary people buy scratch prizes, no matter how much they buy, they have to lose more than half, and the probability of winning the jackpot is very small.

Li Zhe was able to win 5,000 yuan with his strength today, which can really be said to be a burst of luck.
