It's no wonder that Sun Siyuan and his friends reacted so dramatically. After all, so many people buy lottery tickets, but only a very small percentage win, and many people have never even won a prize.
The viewers in the live stream were also stunned, unable to process what they were seeing.
[... Is this really not just for the sake of the show?]
[OMG, winning the lottery is so easy! (rambling)]
[Su Huaiming's hands must be blessed!]
[Waaaaah, Su Huaiming, please share some of your luck with me, you unlucky guy!]
[I want one too! Even if I'm unlucky, I'd be ecstatic if I won just five yuan! lol]
All eyes were on Su Huaiming. The hairs on Su Huaiming's exposed skin stood on end. He couldn't help but rub his arms, feeling that he had to say something to appease these people, even if it was just barking like a dog.
"..." Su Huaiming kindly reminded him, "Even if you only match four numbers, it's only 100 yuan."
Sun Siyuan: "..."
Zhou Hanyan: "..."
This isn't about money, it's about good luck!
The balls, marked with numbers, are divided into red and blue. There are six red balls and two blue balls. The host then announced the numbers of the blue balls one after another.
Yu Ruicheng won two prizes, and Sun Siyuan won one.
According to the lottery rules, winning four red balls and one blue ball, or three red balls and two blue balls, are all fourth prizes, with a prize of 3,000 yuan.
The living room was silent; everyone was still in shock and hadn't come to their senses. Half a minute later, Sun Siyuan excitedly jumped up from the sofa.
Yu Ruicheng, who is socially awkward and unwilling to have close contact with people, was surprisingly excited and bumped shoulders with Sun Siyuan. The two of them spun around in the living room like madmen. Zhou Hanyan, who hadn't won a single number, was even happier than the two of them and joined in. The scene turned into a chaotic carnival.
Su Huaiming was startled by them and shrank back into a corner, afraid that they would force him to get up and dance.
Although Ji Mingzhe didn't join, even the usually mature and composed Ji Mingzhe couldn't hide his excitement. He took the initiative to sit next to Su Huaiming, as if seeking guidance, "Su Huaiming, how did you do it? I've never won such a large sum in the lottery before, let alone 3,000, not even ten yuan."
Su Huaiming gave a wry smile, his expression quite helpless.
He doesn't know either!
He just randomly bought 100 tickets, who would have thought the odds of winning would be so high!!
Hearing the commotion in the living room, the four little ones came out of the small room next door and stood in the doorway, staring blankly at the adults.
Fu Xiaoxiao, looking like a little adult, sighed deeply, his expression one of utter dismay.
Ji Youyou, being a sweet and considerate girl, ran over and looked up at Ji Mingzhe, asking, "Daddy, are they alright?"
Ji Mingzhe patted Ji Youyou's hair and said with a smile, "They're fine, they're just too happy."
Ji Youyou tilted her head in confusion, clearly unable to understand why the adults acted like mad dogs when they were happy.
After coaxing the little ones back to their room, Ji Mingzhe went to coax Sun Siyuan and the others, finally managing to get them to sit on the sofa.
The host announced the next number, and Sun Siyuan and the others stared intently at the screen, their hearts pounding in their chests.
This time, however, fortune did not smile upon them; none of them won.
Sun Siyuan sighed, and after a few seconds of disappointment, said undeterred, "It's okay, there's still one last number. Maybe I'll win."
Seeing that his expectations were getting more and more outrageous, Su Huaiming's lips twitched a couple of times, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.
After building up everyone's anticipation, the TV host slowly announced the final number amidst tense music.
Apart from Su Huaiming, the other four people immediately lowered their heads, their fists clenched tightly with tension, and they kept silently repeating the number in their minds, hoping to see it on the lottery ticket.
Ji Mingzhe was the first to raise his head, and sighed dejectedly.
Yu Ruicheng and Zhou Hanyan also shook their heads, staring expectantly at Sun Siyuan, the birthday boy, feeling that today was his birthday and he should be blessed by God.
Sun Siyuan didn't say anything, looking all mysterious, which made Zhou Hanyan so anxious she wanted to kick him, "Did you get it?!"
"No." Sun Siyuan stared so intently at the lottery ticket that he practically wore a hole in it, repeatedly closing and opening his eyes, but the numbers on the ticket remained unchanged.
Seeing that the others were a bit downcast, Ji Mingzhe smiled and said, "The odds of winning the fourth prize are very low. It's already quite good that two of us won. When I'm lucky, I only win five yuan."
The others nodded emphatically.
They are all usually incredibly unlucky, having won the lottery less than five times in the past 20 years. Winning the fourth prize in a row this time is something that makes them ecstatic.
Humans are inherently greedy and always want better things, but when they look back, they realize they've already gotten enough.
Sun Siyuan looked at the lottery ticket with sparkling eyes, kissed it, and carefully placed it in the box, as if it were a very precious treasure.
"You two, give me back my lottery ticket," Sun Siyuan said bluntly. "I'm going to take it back and treasure it."
This was Sun Siyuan's birthday gift. Although Zhou Hanyan and Yu Ruicheng were very reluctant to part with it, they did not insist on keeping it and returned it to Sun Siyuan with gritted teeth, but their eyes were fixed on the lottery ticket.
This is the first time they've won such a big prize; they really want to keep it as a souvenir! ε=(??ο`*)
Zhou Hanyan excitedly sat down next to Su Huaiming and said, "Su Huaiming, could you sign an autograph for me later, or even just shake my hand? Share some of your good luck with me, and I'm sure I'll draw a rare item when I draw cards later!!"
After Zhou Hanyan finished speaking, he did not receive a response from Su Huaiming for a long time. He looked up and saw that Su Huaiming was staring blankly ahead, looking dumbfounded.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Hanyan waved his hand in front of Su Huaiming's face and asked, "What are you thinking about, so seriously?"
Su Huaiming, like a rusty robot, slowly turned to look at Zhou Hanyan, his voice barely audible and trembling, "I... I've been infected..."
"Of course you won!" Ji Mingzhe exclaimed. "Two of us won fourth prize, and another won sixth and fifth prize. That's pretty awesome!"
Su Huaiming shook his head, "That's not what I meant, the final number..."
The living room, which had been quite noisy, became so quiet you could hear someone breathing. Sun Siyuan and Yu Ruicheng, who had been celebrating, stopped at some point and stared intently at Su Huaiming.
The lottery ticket was just a light piece of paper, but at that moment it felt like it weighed a ton; Su Huaiming could barely hold it. "There are some too."
A thunderbolt struck, stunning everyone present. Sun Siyuan was the first to react, rushing forward and snatching the lottery ticket from Su Huaiming's hand.
He compared the numbers one by one, his eyes widening so much they almost popped out.
Seeing that Sun Siyuan remained silent, Zhou Hanyan was getting increasingly anxious and couldn't wait to check the lottery numbers.
"Holy crap, what prize did I win?!"
Zhou Hanyan immediately rushed to the TV to check the winning rules, almost knocking the TV over in her excitement, "It's the second prize!"
Yu Ruicheng joined in, like a child just learning to count, counting the zeros one by one, and calculating the amount on his fingers, "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions... tens of millions!"
20 million!!
Yu Ruicheng was completely dumbfounded. He tugged at Ji Mingzhe, "Brother Ji, can you help me calculate again? Did I miscount?"
"You didn't miscount." Ji Mingzhe was stunned. "It really is 20 million."
Upon hearing this amount, the staff present couldn't contain themselves and excitedly shouted from outside, their voices reaching the live broadcast room.
[Ah ah]
[... This is the first time I've ever seen someone win a prize on a live stream, let alone 20 million!]
[I was so excited I made my dog dance, but I wasn't the one who Mingming the prize, lol]
[Rounding it up, I was there in person. Share some of the joy and luck with me! I'm so envious, I could cry! waaaaah!]
Su Huaiming is practically a lucky charm reincarnated!
[!! Su Huaiming above, please bless me so I don't fail my exams!]
Where can I find a friend like Su Huaiming and have him send me a bunch of lottery tickets as a birthday present?
Sun Siyuan and the others were so excited they were almost going crazy. They all crowded around Su Huaiming, talking animatedly, and even tried to pull him up to cheer together.
Su Huaiming was in a daze. Sun Siyuan and the others' movements slowed down infinitely in his eyes. The sounds and images gradually faded away, and he could hardly feel anything.
He won 20 million!
Su Huaiming felt a strong sense of unreality, as if he were standing on clouds, or as if he had drunk fake alcohol, making him dizzy and his brain almost stop working.
This incident quickly became a trending topic, with the entire internet trying to capitalize on Su Huaiming's good fortune and happiness. Even his haters joined in, cursing Su Huaiming in their hearts while rapidly reposting his photos and writing down their own wishes.
In comparison, Su Huaiming was the most bewildered one.
He carefully recalled the process of buying the lottery ticket, not missing a single detail, only to find that it was all very ordinary from beginning to end. He didn't have any special abilities; winning the lottery was purely coincidental, and he probably wouldn't have it again in his lifetime.
But Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan had already elevated Su Huaiming to a very high position, and their tone of voice had become humble and polite, as if Su Huaiming had founded a Good Luck Cult and they were all believers.
Yu Ruicheng asked seriously, "Su Huaiming, are you some kind of lucky koi fish reincarnated?"
"This isn't the first time you've had such good luck!" Zhou Hanyan stroked his chin, suddenly realizing something. "Do you have some kind of fortune-telling ability, or some kind of precognitive ability?"
Sun Siyuan nodded in agreement, "The first time I met you, I felt you were quite unique. Turns out you have a lucky charm constitution."
Su Huaiming: "..."
Seeing that their words were becoming increasingly outrageous and the accusations against him were getting higher and higher, Su Huaiming finally couldn't hold back any longer.
This really is just a coincidence, let me explain!
But Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan had already gathered around the lottery tickets and had no intention of listening to Su Huaiming say anything discouraging.
It was late at night, but no one had calmed down.
Ji Mingzhe asked Sun Siyuan, "How do you plan to spend this money?"
Without hesitation, Sun Siyuan said, "These lottery tickets were all bought by Su Huaiming, so he should be the one to win. I don't want the money; I'll just keep the tickets."
Sun Siyuan is a second-generation rich kid from a very wealthy family. In addition, he entered the entertainment industry, and his income is quite considerable. 20 million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but it is not very attractive to Sun Siyuan.
He only wanted these lottery tickets; they were proof of his good luck, and he wished he could frame them in the most expensive frames and hang them above his bed.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming knew Sun Siyuan meant well, but he still shook his head, "Although I bought these lottery tickets, they are a gift for you. The ownership belongs to you, and you shouldn't give me the money."
Sun Siyuan was carefully sorting through the lottery tickets. "I'm not taking this money. If you don't want it, then think about what to do with it."
Su Huaiming pondered for a few seconds, "How about donating it to a charitable foundation?"
Sun Siyuan genuinely didn't care and immediately nodded, "Whatever you say."
Fu Xiaoxiao happened to come out of the small room next door and asked, "What is a charitable foundation?"
Su Huaiming thought for a moment and said, "There are people in this world who need help, such as children living in the mountains whose parents are not around. We can help them through charitable foundations."
Fu Xiaoxiao blinked her big, watery eyes, "Are they about my age?"
Su Huaiming thought for a moment and said, "There are children around your age, and there are also children older than you."
