Chapter 452 – 100 top prize tickets! (1/2)
“Lottery? It is almost 8 pm.”
“Yes. I am in a hurry.”
“Don’t rush yourself. If you cannot get it in time, you can buy the tickets for the next draw. Be careful while driving.”
“Yes. See you later.”
Dong Xuebing hung up and floored the accelerator when the traffic lights turn green. He saw a lightbox by the roadside and quickly stop his car. Fu Li Lottery outlets are very common in Beijing, and they have at least one outlet every street.
There are less than 4 minutes left!
Dong Xuebing rushed into the shop after alighting.
There are seven to eight customers in the shop. Two of them are playing other types of lottery, and the remaining are discussing the winning numbers.
“I think number 11 will appear in this draw.”
“Yes. Number 11 has not appeared for the previous six draws.”
“Save it. The lesser a number appears, the harder it will appear.”
Dong Xuebing looks at the counter. The Boss had just keyed in the numbers for a customer, and the machine is printing out the tickets. Dong Xuebing rushed over and said in his heart. ‘Hurry up! I don’t have much time left!’ He looks at his watch. Three minutes left!
The man paid for his tickets and left with his tickets.
Dong Xuebing quickly steps forward. “It’s my turn, right? I will say out the numbers for you to key in. Please hurry up.”
The Boss also knows there is not much time left. He nodded. “Alright. What numbers are you buying?”
“… 01, 04, 05, 09, 15, 17, and the special number is 06.”
Tap… tap… tap…. The boss keys in the numbers quickly. “Any other numbers?”
After Dong Xuebing told the Boss the winning numbers, he said. “I want to place ten bets on the set of numbers… No. Wait…” Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth. “Damn! I will buy 100 bets on this set of numbers!”
Dong Xuebing couldn’t care anymore. So what if it is risky?!
The Boss and the other customers are stunned.
Damn! 100 bets? Is this guy drunk?
It’s common to see people buying five or ten bets on a set of numbers. But 100 bets are too much. Is this guy trying to win the jackpot from the few hundred million RMB pool? But he must need to win in the first place. One hundred bets on a set of numbers are equivalent to throwing your money down the drain. If you want to buy, you should buy multiple sets of numbers.
Dong Xuebing saw the Boss is in a daze and hurried him. “Can you hurry up? 100 bets!”
“Huh? Alright.” The Boss quickly printed out the tickets.
“Oh…” Dong Xuebing added. “01, 03, 06, 08, 16, 18, and special number is 02. One hundred bets for this set of numbers too.”
There are less than 2 minutes left!
It is exactly 8 pm after Dong Xuebing paid for the tickets.
“Time’s up!” The Boss announced.
Dong Xuebing took his lottery tickets and returned to his car. He grabbed the steering wheel and is relieved. If his 100 bets won the lottery’s top prize, Aunt Xuan and he would become rich overnight. But this method can only use once because he does not have so much remaining time to be used for lotteries. Even if Dong Xuebing has accumulated enough time, he will also not dare to buy lotteries. No one in the world will be so lucky to win the lottery so many times. For the next few years, he decides not to buy the lottery again.
He Ping Road North.
Dong Xuebing parked his car and remembered something. He did not go upstairs. Instead, he went to the nearby pharmacy to buy a bottle of lubricant before going home.
Ding dong… ding dong…
Qu Yunxuan opens the door and lets him in. “Did you manage to buy it? What type of lottery did you buy?”
“Double-color balls.” Dong Xuebing took off his shoes and showed her his tickets. “Look. I have a good feeling about this draw. Hahaha… Let’s see if my feelings are right.”
“You have always been lucky. Eh? One hundred bets for a set of numbers? You made so many bets?!”
“Since I am going to buy, I have to place a few more bets. Winning one bet is meaningless.”
“I had also bought the Double-color balls lottery yesterday. Let’s see who is luckier later. Go and wash your hands while I heat the dishes.”
Dinner again?
Dong Xuebing had just eaten, but he is in a different time zone and feels a bit hungry.
After dinner, Dong Xuebing did not do anything naughty with Aunt Xuan. He had just tried her behind earlier and is not horny. He sat on the sofa and felt like smoking. But he changed his mind after he saw Aunt Xuan’s tummy. He took out his lottery tickets to check the numbers. He had used 1.5 hours on this and cannot afford to buy the wrong numbers.
Qu Yunxuan sat beside Dong Xuebing with a teacup. “Why did you buy the lottery today? You are just looking at your lottery tickets and ignoring our baby and me.”
Dong Xuebing is speechless. “You are so sensitive. When did I ignore you and our baby?”
Qu Yunxuan looks at Dong Xuebing. “You will always hug my tummy first when you see me.”
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. ‘I had already hugged you earlier.’ But he still turns and presses his face against her tummy. “My baby… can you hear me? If you can hear me, kick me.” He laughed. “Is this alright?”
