Chapter 452: Lottery

"In the past, money was made from advertising commissions, but I'm afraid it's no longer possible to make money the old way... Oh, it would be great if I could become rich overnight like buying lottery tickets."

Nie Cai walked aimlessly on the street and looked at the lottery shop next to him.

During the auction yesterday, Wang Zhiyu said that he could win the other party's hidden bid. The chance was like buying a lottery ticket. It would be great if his luck was really that bad.

Wait... buy lottery tickets

Thinking of this, Nie Cai was stunned and couldn't move his feet while standing in front of the lottery shop.

Why didn't I think of this move

Ten million is a lot of shortfall, but if you win the first prize, it will be almost there.

The key is that the source of the money is legal, which is much more convenient than black money obtained from gambling.

"Why didn't I think of it, all I had to do was buy lottery tickets!"

Nie Cai looked at the lottery shop, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said secretly.

He walked directly into the lottery shop. This lottery shop seemed to be a relatively large betting spot in this area, and there were quite a few lottery players inside.

The staff at the betting point typed numbers behind the machine. Several lottery ticket buyers lined up to choose numbers. Many people sat around a white board with many numbers and numbers pasted on red printing paper. They were all for this year. Numerical probability of two-color balls.

"Hurry up and make your choice, the people behind you are still waiting in line!"

"Hey, I'm just thinking about it, and I don't know if this issue 08 will be released?"

"It's a bit confusing. I only drove 08 last time. I think 12 and 13 are the most likely."

"Just listen to me, listen to me. There must be numbers 13 and 14 in this issue. If you don't believe me, just buy one and try it. You will definitely win!"

The lottery players at the betting point were discussing the matter in a lively manner, with a kind of fanaticism in their tone.

Nie Cai looked at these lottery players whose eyes seemed to be radiating money, and found it a bit difficult to understand. The odds of double-colored balls are dead, and the first prize is one in 1,700,000. If only he had followed the way he bought lottery tickets and just used the machine to select, which would have saved him a lot of brainpower.

Isn’t the lottery a matter of probability? What you buy is not as good as selling.

In the past, when Nie Cai was at S County TV station, a lottery company would place soft advertisements in a small newspaper in S County every day. In each issue, there would be a story about buying lottery tickets and getting rich overnight. The story was pretty decent. If you don’t know the truth, People may be so excited just by looking at it that they believe it is true. As long as you are lucky, you can buy the first prize with your eyes closed.

But winning in the lottery is not that easy. If this were the case, the country would have lost money long ago.

But this may be the fun of lottery players. People have to have something to live on. Although the hope of getting rich overnight is slim, it is better than nothing.

Nie Cai looked over and over in the betting shop, looking at the several lottery tickets in the store.

There are many ways to play the lottery, such as Shuangseqiu, Big Lotto, and Seven Star Lottery, which Nie Cai has heard of, and there are even more games like Happy 8 and PK Picks that he has never stopped playing.

I have a time-shifting camera component, which is equivalent to predicting the future in disguise. Which one is better to buy

The two-color ball has the largest prize pool. I have paid attention to these before, but I didn't even win five yuan after buying it a few times, so I didn't bother to buy it later. So he didn't remember the rules of the lottery very clearly.

Nie Cai wandered around the betting shop for a while, pretending to buy two bottles of drinks, then observed it for a while, and then asked a few old lottery players. After confirming it with his previous buying experience, he finally figured it out.

Double-color ball is a large-market game, which belongs to the category of lotto lottery. The double-color ball betting area is divided into red ball number area and blue ball number area. The red ball number range is 01~33, and the blue ball number range is 01~16. In each issue, 6 numbers are drawn from 33 red balls and 1 number is drawn from 16 blue balls as the winning number. The gameplay of Double Color Ball is to guess the 6 red ball numbers and 1 blue ball number of the lottery number. There is no limit to the order.

However, the betting cutoff and lottery draw for Shuangseqiu are not real-time, but take more than an hour.

If Nie Cai's time-shifting camera component has not been upgraded and he can only see things before and after five minutes, it is of little use. However, when Nie Cai exchanges the time-shifting camera component to the third level, he can see the timeline within 3 hours. After intercepting ten minutes of footage, this gave him room to operate.

Nie Cai looked at his watch. It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the limit of his timeline could just cover the moment of the lottery draw.

Thinking of this, Nie Cai's heart moved and he immediately found a seat in front of the TV and sat down.

"Brother, give me a good position..."

Nie Cai squeezed into the crowd and chose a seat near the TV.

The thing captured by the time-shift camera component is this TV. As a TV at the betting point, this TV has always been fixed on the channel of the lottery draw. It is definitely correct to aim the time-shift camera component at it.

"Little brother, please sit here... there is just a seat here."

A man with shabby clothes and unshaven beard moved his buttocks and said to Nie Cai.

This bearded guy had a bucket of instant noodles in front of him, sipping it while watching TV intently.

"Thank you, bro."

Nie Cai said gratefully and handed him a bottle of drink.

"You're welcome. We are all lottery players. What kind of game did you buy?"

Brother Beard was not polite, he unscrewed the drink bottle, took a sip, then looked at Nie Cai and asked.

"I plan to buy a double-color ball. I heard it costs a lot."

Nie Cai replied casually.

There is quite a shortfall of 10 million, and among all the colors, this two-color ball is probably the highest among them. Nie Cai will buy this one after playing this time.

"Shuangseqiu? Then why are you so anxious to watch here..."

Brother Beard immediately became happy, put down the plastic fork of instant noodles, and said: "The Shuangseqiu lottery cannot be drawn until night, are you going to sit here until night? If you are anxious to make a fortune, just buy this Happy 8 with me, every five minutes Period, absolutely fast.”

"Thanks, I'll just take a look."

Nie Cai smiled and said.

The super news system is his biggest secret, and he won't let others know about it.

Thinking of this, Nie Cai's pupil camera immediately started up, and at the same time he activated the time-shifting camera component!

"Confirm to view the past timeline, it is being analyzed..."

As the super news system sounded, a green line gradually appeared in Nie Cai's pupil camera.

This green line shows an obvious zigzag shape and is very regular. At eight o'clock and nine o'clock, the fluctuation of this timeline reaches its peak.

When Nie Cai saw this, his heart suddenly moved slightly.

The lottery draw times are very regular. Those neat zigzag shapes should be the draw times of various small prizes. As for the two huge fluctuations at 20:30 and 21:15, they correspond to the seven-star lottery and the double-color ball. The time when the lottery with the highest prize pool is drawn.

The newsiness of things can be high or low. Winning a dozen or two hundred thousand is news, winning a few hundred or tens of millions is also news. The bigger the prize is, the greater the value of the news will naturally be.

Without any hesitation, Nie Cai made a move in his heart, and silently thought in his mind, he directly intercepted the 21:15 time line.

Double color balls are sold at 19:20 every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, and then the lottery is drawn at 21:15. Today is Thursday, which happens to be the day of the lottery.

"The interception was successful... The maximum news level is estimated to be D+. This piece of news can probably obtain D+ level permission..."

As the sound of the super news system sounded, a picture suddenly appeared in front of Nie Cai's eyes!

Under the dim light of the betting point, many lottery players were surrounded in front of a TV, holding lottery tickets in their hands and staring at the TV nervously.

"The basketball ball must be opened at 12, it must be opened at 12..."

Brother Beard was among them, watching the TV with red eyes.

"It seems that this bearded guy is really a professional lottery player. I don't know whether he made a profit or a loss... Judging from his desolate look, I guess he can't make a profit, right?"

Nie Cai sighed with some pity in his heart.

Small gambling is fun, but big gambling is harmful to the body. Unless you have Nie Cai's ability to predict the future, buying lottery tickets will only result in a loss in most cases.

Regardless of this bearded man, Nie Cai looked at the old TV. Just by looking at the lottery numbers on the screen, he would know what he should buy.

However, at this moment, Nie Cai's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Something strange happened in front of him.

I saw that the lottery numbers on the TV were actually mosaic, and they were blurry, like those in a Japanese cavalry action movie. It was impossible to see the numbers on the two-color ball clearly.

At the same time, a line of eye-catching red fonts suddenly appeared below Nie Cai's field of vision.

"Warning, according to the laws of the Earth Federation, the timeline cannot be used for the two-color ball, and this time-lapse camera will be terminated."

Before Nie Cai could react, he was forced to end the time-shifting camera and returned to reality.

"What's going on... There is such a restriction..."

Nie Cai looked slightly helpless and said secretly.

However, Nie Cai then thought about it and realized that it was normal to impose restrictions on things like the super news system.

It is estimated that every federal reporter will be equipped with this super news system that will be ruined in the future. Not to mention, in the 23rd century, it is estimated that there will be some super doctor system, super police system and the like, and it is even possible. Even ordinary individuals have mastered the technology of controlling time. If all of these people use their crooked brains, how harmful will it be

The more I use this super news system, the more I feel the limitations of this system are everywhere. First, I couldn't use mind reading on minors before. Later, I couldn't destroy the interests of the TV station, and I couldn't use telekinesis to loot the cabinets of the TV station. , now there is another one, this damn restriction directly cut off Nie Cai's hope of winning the double color ball.

"Oops, I didn't even win two dollars again. I should have known better than to play the ten-choose-ten game. I was too greedy."

Brother Beard slapped his thigh and said with great annoyance.

The clear sound of slapping his thigh woke Nie Cai out of his deep thoughts, and he couldn't help but glance at the bearded brother.

"No, I have to find someone to buy together this time. The more people buy, the greater the chance of winning..."

Brother Beard cursed and stood up, glanced at Nie Cai, seemed to have remembered something, and asked: "Little brother, are you interested in buying a few Happy 8 lottery tickets with me? The draw will be quick, and the maximum bonus for a single bet can be 500. Wan, it’s definitely a good thing!”

At this point, Brother Beard started to introduce it with saliva. This Happy 8 adopts a combined gameplay. The bettors can choose 1 to 10 numbers from 1 to 80 numbers to bet, and each group has 1 to 10 numbers. The combination is called a lottery ticket. During the lottery draw, 20 numbers are drawn from numbers 1 to 80. Happy 8 has 10 ways to play. Among them, the "Select Ten" gameplay uses floating bonuses to set prizes, and other gameplay uses fixed bonuses to set prizes, and the prizes are redeemed according to the set bonus level.

There is a cap limit for single bet bonuses such as the "Pick 10 out of 10" prize. The maximum single bet bonus shall not exceed 5 million yuan. The excess amount will enter the next period's "Pick 10 out of 10" prize pool.

"Happy Frisbee" is an additional method of playing the Happy 8 game, and only one Frisbee lottery number is drawn in each issue. The winning number is one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10. If you choose the Happy Frisbee game, you need to add an additional bet of 2 yuan for a single bet. The winning bonus will be multiplied according to the Happy Frisbee winning number (for example: if you choose 1, you will win 4 yuan, and if you choose Happy Frisbee x5, you will win 20 yuan if you choose the Frisbee game). . The Happy Frisbee gameplay is only applicable to the Happy 8 main gameplay Choose 1-Any 7 games. The additional gameplay of Happy Frisbee cannot be selected for the Any 8, Any 9, and Any 10 modes.

This rule sounds very complicated and difficult to understand for someone like Nie Cai who has never been exposed to it. Anyway, Nie Cai has no way to understand it. It is not as simple and clear as the two-color ball.

"Brother, it's okay. If you just buy it once, you'll probably understand. I'm looking for a beacon. I heard that novices will have good luck. How about letting me enjoy your good luck?"

Brother Huzi said shamelessly, for fear that Nie Cai would not agree.

"I feel like I have no connection with the lottery. I can't see what the lottery will draw..."

Nie Cai shook his head and said.

Hearing Nie Cai's words, Bearded Brother immediately became happy: "Brother, you are right. Who can see what the lottery will bring out? I always dream that I can predict things five minutes in advance. In this case, I can I was able to catch up with the lottery draw time of Happy 8, but it’s a pity that when I woke up, there was nothing.”

"Actually, it's useless if you have this special function. Maybe the country directly restricts this matter for you."

Nie Cai couldn't bear to tell him the truth. Even with this special power, the country can still restrict you.

"How is it possible that the state controls the sky, the earth, and the air, but it can also control my special powers?"

Brother Beard obviously didn't believe it and said.

"Forget it if you don't believe it..."

Nie Cai didn't bother to explain to him, so he casually hit the TV with a time-shifting camera component.

The time-shift camera component this time is not in the timeline mode, but in the normal mode where you can see the five minutes before and after.

He didn't have much hope at first, he was just experimenting casually. Unexpectedly, the scene in front of him made Nie Cai's heart move. This time, the TV was not mosaic, and it appeared clearly in front of Nie Cai!
