Chapter 16: Spells Work The trade-off
The poster for each lottery is marked with the top prize, and it is the most conspicuous and has a large font. Yin Zhiping only glanced at it, and then selected the one with the highest prize in these scratch lottery tickets, the highest prize he chose was 500,000, the second prize was 200,000, the third prize was 100,000, the fourth prize was 10,000, and then the bottom was smaller and smaller, and the least tenth prize was only twenty.
Look at the introduction of the poster,This color is new recently,He remembers buying it about a year ago,At that time, the highest prize was only 100,000. Later, this kind of lottery sold very successfully, and new colors were constantly released, and the prize money was set higher and higher.
This kind of lottery ticket sells for ten yuan each, Yin Zhiping read the introduction of the poster in detail, understood the lottery process, how to play and the pattern style and precautions of each award, then took out his wallet, took out a fifty yuan from it, turned around and handed it to the boss and said: "I buy this kind of one, give me two first." ”
The boss took the money, first took the two lottery tickets of the selected color from the lottery box under the counter and handed them over and put them on the counter, and then found three ten yuan for him, and put them on the counter.
Yin Zhiping reached out and took two lottery tickets, put thirty yuan in his jacket pocket, and then walked to the side, turned around and looked down at the two lottery tickets in his hand.
He turned around and lowered his head, and after making sure that no one would see his eyes, he used the "Heavenly Illusion True Pupil Method". I saw a flash of light in his eyes, and his pupils faintly changed to the color of multicolored glass, and then looked at the covering coating of the two lottery lottery areas. The multicolored light in his pupils flickered, and the thin layer of covering coating gradually changed to a translucent color in his eyes.
Then as he increased his mana. It became more transparent, allowing him to see the pattern under the overcoat very clearly. He was overjoyed. and then strengthened the mana, and soon the paper card of the lottery in his hand was also seen through by him. Look at his four fingers under the ticket.
After trying to see through what he could see so far, he withdrew some mana to the extent that he could see through the coating of the lottery draw area, and then took a closer look at the pattern underneath. After looking at the patterns of the two lottery tickets, he put away the Heavenly True Pupil Method, and then scraped the layer with his fingernails.
After scraping it open, he looked at it, but he saw that it was exactly the same as what he saw through the coating with the Heavenly Illusion True Pupil Method. One of the two tickets didn't win, and the other won the lowest tenth prize of 20 yuan, which was exactly enough to cover the money he paid for two lottery tickets. Luck wasn't bad.
"I won twenty dollars on this one. Yin Zhiping turned to the boss and said, and then handed over the two scratch-off lottery tickets in his hand.
After the boss took it, he looked at it carefully, confirmed that one of them was 20 yuan for the tenth prize, and said: "It is indeed a win, I will give you a prize." ”
This instant scratch-off lottery ticket is instant redemption, and as long as the prize does not exceed 5,000 yuan, that is, including 5,000 yuan and below, you can directly redeem the prize at the lottery ticket purchase point. If it is more than 5,000 yuan or more, you need to go to the lottery center to claim the prize. There is also a tax deduction for tax payments. $5,000 or less is not taxable.
Yin Zhiping took out the thirty yuan he was looking for in his pocket again and handed it over, "You don't need to redeem it, bring me five more." ”
"Okay. The boss was naturally no problem, and put away the thirty yuan he handed over. I'm trying to get him five more tickets. Yin Zhiping suddenly said: "I want to pick it myself this time, is it okay?"
The boss hesitated and said, "Yes, yes." But this lottery. I still recommend buying a few tickets in a row, it is easier to win. ”
Yin Zhiping smiled. "I still want to pick one." ”
He didn't pick the two he bought just now, but he just wanted to test whether his Heavenly Illusion True Pupil Method could see through the covering coating on the lottery ticket. Now that I've tried it, I can see through it. Naturally, you have to pick and choose which one is the grand prize, and you can buy it if you have a choice. If it is still the kind of buying method just now that the boss handed over a few casually, even if he has the Heavenly Illusion True Pupil Method, he still has to rely on luck.
"Okay. Seeing that he insisted, the boss smiled, then agreed, moved the lottery box directly from under the counter to the counter, and motioned for him to pick.
Yin Zhiping lowered his head, so that the boss couldn't notice his eyes, and then quietly used the Heavenly Illusion True Pupil Method. When he implements the Spreading Heaven Illusion True Pupil Method, he can also hide the vision in his eyes, or directly use the illusion to cover it up so that others can't see it. It's just that his cultivation of the Heavenly Illusion True Law at this time is really too low, but he can't hide the vision in his eyes. As for covering it up with illusions, he could do it. But if the boss hadn't noticed, he wouldn't have to waste any more mana.
After casting the Heavenly Illusion True Pupil Method, Yin Zhiping didn't dare to turn his head to see if the boss noticed the vision in his eyes. If people hadn't noticed it, he might have been noticed when he looked at it like this. So he just lowered his head, but he released his spiritual sense to investigate, and after noticing that the boss didn't notice him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the lottery ticket in the lottery box, rummaging through it to pick the winning ticket.
There were about seventy or eighty tickets left in the box, and he quickly looked through them all. But it is a pity to find that among the remaining 70 or 80 lottery tickets, there is no first prize of 500,000 yuan, not even the second prize of 200,000 yuan, only a third prize of 100,000 yuan, and the rest are small prizes and no prizes.
The higher the jackpot, the lower the prize rate, which is the same principle and rule. Otherwise, seven or eight out of ten tickets are jackpots, and all the ticket sellers will lose money. The top prize of 500,000 yuan for a lottery ticket like the one he bought, I'm afraid there are only one or two in their province. It is also a normal probability that this point of sale will not be assigned. It is even possible that all the lottery ticket sales outlets in Gangwon City were not allocated to the top prize lottery tickets, but to other cities and counties.
Although it is a pity that there is no first prize of up to 500,000 yuan, Yin Zhiping has thought about it for a while, and there is nothing too regrettable. Originally, this is a windfall, and if you are happy, you don't have to be sad. It's like walking on the road and maybe picking up money, it's nice to be able to pick it up, but it's normal if you can't pick it up. Ordinary people can figure it out, let alone him.
What's more, he used the "Heavenly Illusion True Pupil Method" to buy lottery tickets, which was equivalent to cheating, and it was already a big advantage. If you can make a lot of money in a muffled voice, you can just steal the fun, why bother to be greedy and not enough to think about the 500,000?
Everything needs to know how to make trade-offs, otherwise if you blindly force it, you will only end up misleading yourself. Like this, if you can't eat or sleep if you can't ask for it, and you have to take it with all kinds of thoughts, then you are obsessed and go mad, and this is really not the seed of cultivation.
In life, we must learn to persevere, but we also need to learn to let go. There are some things that should be put down. (To be continued......)
