Chapter 12: Are you a devil?

Views:

After writing down the lottery numbers drawn yesterday, Ronan read the file of the Management Department teaching building.

After accepting Alice's opera invitation, he left New York University.

I checked the cash on me and found that it was only US$121.

With this little money, I can't buy a set of clothing for high-end occasions.

After searching two blocks away from New York University, Ronan found a lottery shop.

The lottery shop is different from the ones in some Eastern countries. The main products it sells here are power balls and the 'One-off' launched by Kentucky. In addition, there are also some private lottery tickets such as instant tickets and scratch tickets. color.

The system once stated that Ronan's money holding limit is 1,000 US dollars.

This statement is very vague and can be understood in two meanings.

The first is that you can only carry 1,000 US dollars with you and deposit it in your card at will.

The second method is to add money to your wallet and hold a total of 1,000 US dollars.

You still have to figure out the specific rules yourself.

Ronan deposited a slot in front of the lottery store and bought a Powerball.

The probability of winning this lottery is extremely low, about one in 300 million.

Choose 5 from the 69 white balls, and then choose 1 from the 26 red balls to form a six-digit number.

After buying it, Ronan went to the small hotel that cost 40 US dollars and spent the night.

At 5:30 pm the next day, he came to the door of the New York Lottery Center with his winning tickets, waiting for the Powerball draw.

Even though he knew he would win next time, Ronan still couldn't restrain his excitement.

It’s hundreds of millions of dollars in one go. If the system doesn’t limit it, you’ll be rich.

Before time travel, Ronan had had this kind of daydream about winning the grand prize.

Before you win, you have to make clear arrangements for how you will spend your money after winning.

At six o'clock, Powerball draws.

After the staff announced that one lucky person would win the grand prize this time, Ronan felt a little inflated.

It's not psychological expansion, it's physical expansion.

Boom!

Exploded to death.

Sitting in the dark space, Ronan touched his chin.

This kind of opportunistic approach is indeed unreliable. You still have to be down-to-earth and take your time.

He read the lottery ticket.

This time, Ronan gave up the high-prize Powerball and one-off, and asked the boss to come up with a scratch-off private lottery.

They cost $5 each. He bought 24 of them for $120 and scratched them one by one.

I didn’t have much luck in the first round. I only won a small prize of $30 and lost $90.

The owner of the lottery shop is a man in his forties with a gray beard and a blue and white hat.

Due to long-term excessive calorie intake, the body is somewhat bloated.

Seeing that the handsome guy in front of him had a bad start, he tried to comfort him with a smile but not a smile: "Don't be discouraged. You will win sooner or later, no matter how late."

"It's okay." Ronan wrote down the number 18 and chose to load the file.

"Boss, give me twenty-four scratch-off tickets. I don't want the first twenty-four."

So repeatedly…

After fifteen waves, Ronan estimated that the bonus should be enough to reach 1,000 US dollars, and chose to load the file again.

"Boss, I want the 18th, 37th, 57th, 81st, 101st..."

Ronan rattled off a series of numbers and put one hundred and twenty dollars on the table.

"Ha." The shop owner chuckled and sneered at Ronan's approach.

If you can win this kind of low-probability scratch lottery by jumping around and choosing, then he doesn't need to open this store.

"Boss, I won this one, $30."

"Boss, I have this one too, it's $1."

"Boss, this one is also $5."

"Boss, here's another one, $500."

As more and more winning tickets were scratched out, the boss's face became increasingly ugly.

Is this person just out of luck? How could he choose one of them? How could he be so evil

"Total $986, thank you."

The owner of the lottery shop frowned and checked the lottery tickets repeatedly. He always felt that something was wrong.

But the prize ticket is his own, so it doesn't make sense to say that others cheated.

After dithering for a long time, the boss had no choice but to admit defeat and redeem the bonus.

With the money, Ronan overwritten the previous save and went to the nearest shopping mall.

High-end suits cost at least three to four thousand US dollars, which he couldn't afford given his current financial ability.

That kind of suit that costs less than a hundred dollars looks too cheap, like a popular item from a certain brand.

He doesn't like to compare products one after another. If he likes something, he just buys it.

After purchasing a suit, trousers, tie and leather shoes, there was still US$212 left.

Ronan's shoulders are not that straight, and the shoulders of the suit are a bit weak.

For this reason, the enthusiastic female clerk also gave me two shoulder pads for free.

After helping him arrange his clothes, he also slapped his butt, which made Ronan very embarrassed.

Comb your hair into an adult style and put on a handsome suit.

"He looks quite handsome." Standing in front of the mirror, Ronan looked narcissistically beautiful, and finally understood why women like to look in the mirror.

The curvature of the mirrors in this store must have been adjusted to visually lengthen the legs and make them look taller than they actually are.

Leaving the shopping mall, Ronan covered the archive and headed to the lottery site.

When the boss saw the handsome guy in a suit coming back, he subconsciously took down the box of scratch-off tickets.

"Boss, I want to..."

"Not for sale!" The boss put his hands in his pockets, showing an arrogant attitude like you can do nothing to me.

For private lottery tickets like this, the shopkeeper usually pays for it himself.

It's just that this young man is too evil today, and he won't be stupid enough to post it again.

"No, I want to buy a three-digit number that opens every ten minutes, is that okay?"

The boss's eyes wandered back and forth on Ronan, but he still acquiesced.

Without it, the scratched lottery tickets might be fake, but he couldn't cheat in the computer-random private lottery.

For a two-dollar bet of this kind of private lottery, the winning rate is only $100, and the probability of winning is one in a thousand.

"First come $100." Ronan quoted three numbers at random.

The boss gave him a strange look and quietly placed a bet of twenty dollars.

A few minutes later, the lottery results came out.

5, 1, 4.

None of them hit the mark.

"Another $100." Ronan casually quoted three digits, with a slightly regretful look that made the boss feel secretly happy.

It is not uncommon for people to have great luck at the beginning.

Once you double your bets, there are not a few people who have won and lost everything in the past.

This time, the boss didn't call.

ten minutes later.

7, 4, 1.

Seeing that the handsome boy failed to win again, the boss felt happy, and the previous gloom in his heart was swept away.

I asked you to show off, so I’ll pay you now, hahahahaha.

With such ridicule in his heart, the boss showed a look of heartbroken regret on his face, as if he was the one who lost the money: "Young man, I think you are lucky, why don't you buy some more?"

Ronan looked at the only 12 dollars left in his pocket and chose to read the file.

The timeline goes back to when he just left the shopping mall and came to the lottery shop.

Seeing that the handsome guy in a suit was back again, the boss took down the box of scratch-off tickets.

"Boss, I want to..."

"Not for sale!" His answer was still firm.

"No, I want to buy a three-digit number that opens every ten minutes, is that okay?"

Seeing the other party's acquiescence, Ronan took out sixteen dollars and put it on the table: "I bought 514, 8 times the investment, thank you."

The boss stared at him and looked back and forth, but still voted.

Hey, he just doesn't believe in evil today.

This handsome guy is so lucky that he just closed today.

There was nothing he could do about the scratch-off tickets, so he accepted the defeat.

But with the random numbers on the computer, he didn't believe that the handsome boy was still so lucky.

ten minutes later.

"Boss, redeem your prize."

Ronan saw him frozen on the chair holding the ticket and wanted to push it, but he waved his hand away: "Don't touch me!"

The owner of the lottery shop had a dark face, and the emotions on his face were extremely complicated.

At Ronan's urging again, he took out eight hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the table.

After taking the money, Ronan counted it as he walked.

In the eight hundred dollars just now, there was an extra ten dollar note.

At this time, the amount of money held by Ronan exceeded one thousand, reaching 1,006 US dollars.

Feeling his body gradually expanding, he quickly turned back and saw the owner of the lottery shop preparing to pull down the rolling shutter door.

"Boss." Ronan raised the ten dollars in his hand and wanted to return it to him.

The lottery shop owner's pupils shrank when he heard this, thinking that he was still going to place a bet, and his face looked a little ugly: "Are you a devil?"

"Clam?"
