At this moment, the fat man sitting in the corner also walked over, looking at Liu Shiba's distorted face as he was scratching the last ticket, and couldn't help but pat his shoulder and laugh:
"I told you, buy cigarettes!"
After saying that, the fat man looked at Liu Shiba with wide eyes, his face filled with joy, and subconsciously looked at the table...
"Ah? Liu Shiba, did you win? Your luck has finally turned?"
Liu Shiba laughed wildly:
"Three years, I finally won a lottery ticket. Heaven, it's not easy!"
A few old men nearby also leaned in, asking in surprise:
"Really won? What prize did you get?"
Liu Shiba, looking very pleased with himself, waved the instant lottery ticket in his hand and said proudly:
"Today, I've turned over a new leaf, I won five hundred yuan!"
The crowd of lottery enthusiasts at the lottery point couldn't help but laugh and congratulate him:
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Zhang Ying also smiled sweetly:
"Shiba, you've broken even today."
At this moment, Zhao Lizhu, standing not far from the entrance of the lottery point, pouted and said disdainfully:
"Poor guy, five hundred yuan can turn your life around? You're still a poor guy..."
But Zhou Shida looked thoughtful...
Liu Shiba turned and glanced at Cao Xiong, who was still nodding secretly.
"Beauty, give me twenty more, no, twenty-five."
"Ah?"
Everyone was stunned at his words.
You haven't won yet? Not even leaving the capital, it seems you're really going all in...
The fat man shook his head and advised:
"Shiba, know when to stop. Winning five hundred yuan is already a great stroke of luck."
"No, keep buying, twenty-five more."
Liu Shiba's eyes were bloodshot.
Zhang Ying, helplessly, took out another twenty-five instant lottery tickets and handed them to Liu Shiba.
Liu Shiba rolled up his sleeves and leaned on the table to scratch...
One after another...
One after another, thanking you for your contribution to the country...
At this moment, the crowd also became interested, stretching their necks to gather around the table.
When he scratched the fifteenth ticket, the crowd burst into a commotion: "Won again? Third prize, three thousand yuan..."
"Lucky kid."
"Tsk tsk, your luck has really turned!"
Before the commotion could settle, the crowd burst into another commotion:
"Won again? Heaven, this is a third prize, fifty thousand yuan?"
Liu Shiba paid no attention, as if he was in a trance, scratching non-stop...
One after another...
The twentieth ticket...
Another fifty thousand yuan...
Liu Shiba's total winnings were now one hundred and thirty thousand yuan.
The twenty-third ticket...
Congratulations, you won a second prize of two hundred thousand yuan!
Seeing this, the crowd was no longer calm, exclaiming in unison:
"How is this possible? Twenty-five tickets, and a grand prize of three hundred thousand yuan?"
"Impossible, could this kid's luck really have turned?"
Outside the lottery point, Zhao Lizhu and Zhou Shida were both speechless...
At this moment, the crowd at the lottery point burst into a loud commotion...
At this moment, the fat man shouted:
"What are you crowding for? Don't shout, there's still one ticket left to scratch, what's the rush?"
Hearing this, the dozen or so people watching fell silent, looking at the last ticket on the table.
In the cold weather, Liu Shiba was now drenched in sweat. He couldn't believe it; the world was truly full of wonders, could he really have won over three hundred thousand yuan?
Staring at the last ticket, Liu Shiba carefully scratched it...
As the silver strip gradually disappeared, a shocking number appeared before everyone's eyes:
Grand Prize, five hundred thousand...
One hundred yuan, a small bet for a big win, Liu Shiba won a total of eight hundred and thirty thousand yuan.
At this moment, the entire lottery point fell silent. The old lottery enthusiasts who had just mocked Liu Shiba's bad luck were now experiencing a dramatic turn of events.
Three years without winning, and now a grand prize of eight hundred thousand yuan?
At this moment, a Dongfeng truck loaded with construction debris roared down the street, crashing into a BMW X5 parked in front of a coffee shop, smashing it to pieces.
It didn't stop there; the Dongfeng truck, without stopping, charged up the steps and directly crashed into the coffee shop next to the lottery point...
"Boom!"
The coffee shop was in chaos, with thick smoke billowing out.
"Ah?"
A shrill scream rang out.
Standing at the entrance of the lottery point, Zhao Lizhu, who had been in a daze, screamed and fainted.
She saw clearly that the truck had no license plate, it was a black car, and her coffee shop had just opened, without insurance...
Zhou Shida, on the other hand, was stunned, looking at his crushed BMW X5, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, as if the BMW was worthless...
At this moment, the old peddler Cao Xiong's legs trembled, almost unable to stand...
Liu Shiba, standing inside the lottery point, stared at the car accident in shock, his mind filled with awe, thinking to himself:
"Is this fate? Is this changing one's destiny?"
Then, Liu Shiba turned around, looking at the old lottery enthusiasts and friends, and with a generous wave of his hand, said:
"Today, I've made a little money. Everyone here gets a share.
After claiming the prize, I'll buy a thousand-yuan luxury cigarette for each of you, and Zhang Ying can pick a ten-thousand-yuan set of cosmetics, I'll pay for it.
Then tonight, we'll go to the largest Xuchang New Century Hotel and drink until we're drunk."
"Great!"
"Shiba is a good guy."
"Nice, nice, a real man!"
"Brother Shiba, I don't want cosmetics, can I have a gold necklace? After claiming the prize, you can take me to buy it?"
Zhang Ying also said shyly.
"No, after claiming the prize, you can take the money and pick it yourself."
Liu Shiba, feeling very pleased with himself, was in high spirits.
After the commotion, Liu Shiba noticed Cao Xiong, who was sitting in the corner, pale-faced.
"Uncle Cao, what's wrong?"
Cao Xiong took a breath, nodded his gray head, and said softly:
"Quick, take me back to your place."
Hearing this, Liu Shiba's face changed, quickly put the lottery tickets in his pocket, and carried Cao Xiong to the neighborhood.
As they walked, Liu Shiba turned back and said:
"This is an elder from my family, he's not feeling well. I'll settle him at home and then go to claim the prize and book the banquet."
At this moment, Zhou Shida, who was supporting the unconscious Zhao Lizhu, saw Liu Shiba and immediately smiled:
"Brother Shiba, my driver will bring another car. Do you want to take this old uncle to the hospital?"
Another car?
Liu Shiba was stunned, looked at the crushed BMW X5, and asked in surprise:
"Is that your car?"
Zhou Shida smiled bitterly:
"Yes, today I've seen what it means to turn the tide, I'm impressed, old man!"
"Where, it's just a coincidence. The old man is just a wandering con artist, how could he have such skills!"
Cao Xiong said indifferently.
"Let's go home!"
Lying on Liu Shiba's back, Cao Xiong said calmly.
