Chapter 662: This String of Numbers is Too Mysterious
Upon seeing this, Bluey quickly pulled Owen and said, "Owen, let's go see what's happening. If we can win a big prize, we'll buy lottery tickets tomorrow too!"
"Alright!" Owen eagerly went along.
With that, the others couldn't sit still either and rushed to the living room to join the excitement.
Everyone gathered around the TV, and Alexander brought over a cardboard box filled with 50 bags. Each bag contained 20 lottery tickets, with each ticket having five sets of numbers.
Although Maria felt a little sorry, she thought to herself, with so many tickets, if even one set wins a big prize, it would make up for it.
She truly hoped Ivy would win the jackpot, but she also worried that Ivy would become completely obsessed with lottery tickets and head down a path of gambling.
Everyone anxiously stared at the TV, eagerly awaiting the thrilling results.
Since the advent of mobile phones, it had been a long time since everyone had watched TV. Today was the first time so many people sat together to watch TV.
Ivy took out a bag from the lottery ticket box, and inside were 20 tickets for the Tri-color Ball.
Since its release, no one had ever won the jackpot with these tickets; they mostly won small prizes.
This was because one ticket consisted of ten numbers, with six red ball numbers, three blue ball numbers, and one yellow ball number.
The red ball numbers were chosen from 1 to 40, the blue ball numbers from 1 to 20, and the yellow ball number from 1 to 10.
The rules for winning the Tri-color Ball were that if the buyer's numbers matched all nine of the winning numbers, it would be the special prize, amounting to 5 million dollars. If the red and blue ball numbers were both correct, it would be the first prize, with a prize of 500,000 dollars.
There were many combinations for the second to fifth prizes, with each ticket providing explanations on the back. The prize amounts were 50,000, 5,000, 500, and 50 dollars respectively.
The smallest prize was the sixth prize, which only amounted to 5 US dollars.
On the TV screen, the first number drawn was a red ball number. Ivy took out one of her tickets and watched the host draw the numbers with excitement.
Bluey couldn't help but itch and said, "Sis, with so many tickets, you can't keep up, right? Give me one, and I'll watch with you."
Ivy directly handed over two tickets and generously said, "I'm giving these two tickets to you and Big Brother Owen. They have ten sets of numbers. If you win, you can go claim the prize."
She then handed two tickets to Maria and Blake, saying, "These two are for you!"
"What about mine?" Leo said happily, extending his hand.
With Leo speaking up, all eight of Blake's brothers also wanted a ticket.
Ivy simply gave each of them one.
In total, they bought 20 tickets for the Tri-color Ball, and in the blink of an eye, 13 were gone.
Only seven tickets remained. Alexander took one, and the six little girls each wrestled for one.
The twelve sons also wanted a ticket, but there were none left.
The six sisters each called two of their brothers to sit beside them, and everyone checked their numbers together.
After the host's speech, they began to draw the first number.
Every person widened their eyes and stared at the TV.
Ivy looked at the five sets of numbers on her ticket; they were all similar, just in a different order.
Different, suddenly feel no chance.
Especially the first set of numbers on the lottery ticket, it turned out to be unusually consecutive.
The red ball numbers are 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, the blue ball numbers are 17, 18, 19, and the yellow ball number is 10.
These numbers are too bizarre, how did they end up in this sequence? How is this combination even possible?
Even the randomly generated numbers are too haphazard. At least put some effort into arranging them properly.
Looking at the other four sets of numbers, they are not much different from this set, all incredibly consecutive.
