"Your Majesty, the time has come to witness our destiny, can we not be nervous?"
"Yes, yes, this is related to our luck...!"
Several old guys were holding a stack of stamped lottery tickets, staring closely at the stage. From time to time they stood on tiptoe, trying to see what number the steward was holding.
But the distance was too far and the ball was too small, so they couldn't see anything at all!
The originally bustling scene suddenly became silent.
Everyone didn't even dare to take a breath and stared straight ahead, waiting for the lottery draw.
Even those at the back who couldn't even see the stage clearly didn't dare to say a word and kept their ears open waiting for the steward's call!
I was afraid that I would miss the announcement number as soon as I opened my mouth to say something!
"Our first red ball has jumped out! What is it? I believe everyone is anxious, right?"
The steward looked at the red ball in his hand and deliberately spoke to incite everyone's emotions.
"Ouch! It's been a long time, what is it? You should tell me quickly!"
"That's it! Let's report it quickly!"
"It's just a number. Is it so pretentious...?"
Before the people could say anything, Wang Ben and others stamped their feet anxiously and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"This number is very auspicious! I believe everyone will have a good start and make a fortune...!"
The steward waved one hand, said something auspicious, and then officially reported the number, "The number of the first red ball is eight! I wish everyone can have a good time!"
"Eight? I have this! There is really eight in the number I bought!"
"Haha! That's great. I have mine too. If I don't keep it all, I can really win the jackpot!"
"It must have been a dream given by our ancestors. The number in the dream was eight...!"
The steward reported the number very clearly, and all the people in the audience could hear it clearly.
Everyone who bought an eight number was so happy that they jumped up on the spot!
That posture is like winning a jackpot!
Of course, if there are those who win, there will definitely be those who don’t.
Those who don’t have the number eight in their lottery tickets will inevitably feel disappointed!
"Oh! What a pity, why didn't you choose a number with eight?"
"Yes! I really wanted to do it at the time, but suddenly I chose the number six!"
"With one missing number, I am destined to miss the grand prize, alas!"
"It doesn't matter! If you can't win the grand prize, it's not bad to win the third prize!"
"That's right, let's wait and see...!"
The grand prize of 10,000 gold is not that easy to win. All the numbers must match.
Even if there is only one mistake, you will not win the grand prize, not even the second prize, and at most you will only win the third prize!
The bonuses are even different!
The first prize is as much as 10,000 gold, which is money that ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime!
The third prize is only hardware, which has shrunk by a full two thousand times!
The veterans who heard the numbers became excited and looked through the thick stack of lottery tickets in their hands to pick out the ones with the number eight.
"Jia'er, Xi'er, dad bought so many that I can't even see them through. Please help me pick out all the ones with the number eight!"
Zhang Han bought two hundred tickets. It was too busy for one person, and his eyes were almost full. He quickly gave one to his two daughters and asked them to help choose.
"Father-in-law, don't be so anxious. It takes two months to redeem the prizes. You can check them one by one slowly after you return home!"
Looking at his eager look, Ying Feiyu smiled helplessly.
"No, no, no! I will pick out the ones that can win the big prize first! As for the others, we will go back home!"
Zhang Han immediately waved his hand and refused without even thinking about it.
He didn't care at all about the other small prizes of ten golds and eight golds, he just waited to win the big prize!
If Da Qin's first grand prize were bought by him, he would be in the limelight!
"Fine!"
Not listening to the persuasion, Ying Feiyu stopped caring about them. After shrugging helplessly, he lowered his gaze to the stage.
In order to prove the fairness of the lottery, the steward showed the red ball selected in his hand to the nearby people to check, proving that he had not cheated in any way!
"Did you see the number above clearly? Tell me, how much is it?"
The steward put the microphone to the mouth of a citizen who had just watched the ball and asked him to prove that the ball was fine.
"eight!"
When the people saw this new thing for the first time, they hid back as if they were afraid of breaking it.
As a result, the sound is much quieter than when I used it before!
"Haha! Come on, get closer and tell everyone loudly, what is the number you see?"
The steward also noticed his nervousness and waved in greeting.
"eight!"
This time, the people came closer and exerted their energy. The sound was instantly amplified and could be heard throughout the commercial city.
"I have just said that our lottery is fair and just! Next, I will choose a common person to come on stage and kick off the second ball for everyone!"
The steward scanned the crowd and selected a young man with simple clothes and elegant temperament to take the stage among the people who raised their hands in front of the stage.
"Yes! It's you, come on!"
After being selected, the young man seemed to be in disbelief and pointed at the tip of his nose suspiciously.
After getting the affirmative answer, I climbed onto the lottery stand excitedly!
"Whenever the ball pops out later, you will be responsible for calling everyone's number, how about it?"
the steward asked.
"good!"
Facing tens of thousands of people in the audience, the young man seemed a little embarrassed and nodded slightly.
"Then let's start now!"
As soon as the steward finished speaking, the red ball in the transparent glass box began to roll again under the influence of the wind.
"when……"
After a while, another red ball rolled out smoothly.
The young man imitated his previous managerial behavior, took out the ball and checked the number on it!
"Come on! Tell us all, what is the second number?"
The steward put the microphone to the young man's mouth.
"It's...fifteen!"
The young man checked again and again, and after confirming that it was correct, reported it.
"That's right! It's fifteen! Let's show it to the people in the audience for inspection!"
This time the steward did not move, but asked the young man to take the red ball he had just drawn and show it to the people beside the stage.
After the people nodded in confirmation, they returned to the stage and handed it over to the stewards!
"Are you sure everything is correct?"
"Sure!"
The people who had inspected the scene loudly responded to the steward's question.
"Okay! Everyone, take a look at the lottery tickets in your hands. Do you see the number fifteen? If so, it proves that you are one step closer to our grand prize!"
The steward announced in a high tone and gestured for the young man to step down.
"Fifteen? Oops, why isn't mine? This shouldn't be the case? I bought the first one, so how come there isn't fifteen?"
"Alas! I don't have mine either!"
"It's such a pity that I missed the grand prize...!"
The people who had won eight when they bought the number 8 suddenly felt half-hearted after hearing the second number.
And those who had already bought two numbers were naturally grinning from ear to ear and ecstatic in their hearts!
