Chapter 694 Good things come in pairs
"Five hundred dollars?!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

If this 500 yuan had been placed in the first round, when everyone thought they could win the jackpot, it is estimated that no one would have much reaction to the prize money.

But now, these five hundred yuan is a huge sum of money.

"Let me see! Let me see!"

Youyou, who was the most curious, came over first. She blinked her big eyes and said in surprise, "Thirteen... Oh my God, it's really five hundred yuan!"

"right?"

Xiaoxian leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed high.

He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said in a very proud tone, "I've already told you, my brother Xian's luck is so..."

"what?"

Youyou suddenly asked in confusion: "But why is there a minus sign in front of the five hundred yuan?"

Zeng Xiaoxian waved his hand disapprovingly. He grinned and said, "Youyou, you're talking nonsense again. How can the winning amount of a scratch lottery be negative?"

"But I wasn't wrong."

Youyou took Zeng Xiaoxian's scratch ticket and handed it to everyone: "Look, isn't the winning amount negative?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stretched their heads to look at Xiaoxian's scratch ticket.

Scratch-off lottery tickets are instant lottery tickets with dozens of different styles and different winning rules. The scratch-off lottery ticket that Nanfeng bought can be said to have the simplest and easiest to understand winning rules.

Just scratch the winning number above and the matching number below at the same time. As long as the matching number is the same as one of the winning numbers, the number with a plus sign under the winning number is the winning amount.

The winning number on Zeng Xiaoxian's scratch ticket is thirteen, and among the entire row of winning amounts with plus signs, only the five hundred under thirteen has a negative sign in front of it.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Yifei couldn't help laughing out loud: "Oh my god, it's really negative five hundred!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. Compared with Zeng Xiaoxian, they suddenly felt that not winning the prize was not a big deal at all.

Yu Mo laughed so hard that tears were about to come out: "Teacher Zeng, your luck is really too good. This is the first time I heard that someone won the prize and paid 500 yuan...hahahaha..."

Ziqiao put his arm around Xiaoxian's shoulders and teased, "Teacher Zeng, it's fine if you say your hardware is not up to standard, but how come even your luck is so bad?

“I thought I won 500 yuan, but I lost 500 yuan in the end. It’s so funny.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Faced with the ridicule and mockery of the crowd, Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes widened in shock and his lips trembled like two wings.

He pointed at his scratch ticket in astonishment, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement: "No, this...you...I...it..."

"No, this scratch ticket is sick!"

Xiaoxian narrowed his eyes and yelled out loud, "How could there be a negative winning amount on a scratch ticket? Are they going to fine me if I take this scratch ticket to claim the prize?"

Zhanbo pursed his lips and tried to suppress his laughter as he analyzed, "I guess the original prize money for this scratch ticket was 500 yuan, but there might have been a problem during the printing process, so the prize money turned from 500 yuan to negative 500 yuan."

Xiaoxian looked hopeful when he heard this: "If I take this scratch ticket to redeem the prize, can I get 500 yuan?"

"do not know."

Zhanbo shook his head. He really didn’t pay much attention to lottery tickets. “I only know that the prize money for a single scratch-off ticket is less than 10,000 yuan, and the agent is responsible for paying it.

"As for whether the distributor will recognize the value of your scratch ticket, no one can be sure."

"Depend on!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyebrows drooped when he heard this. He said aggrievedly, "So the 500 yuan I won with great difficulty is likely to be wasted?"

“It’s not necessarily a waste.”

Yifei has been laughing since she found out that Zeng Xiaoxian's scratch card prize was negative, and she hasn't stopped laughing until now.

She held her stomach, gasping for breath: "Xian'er, at least you let us know that scratch tickets not only have prizes, but also fines."

“Why don’t you give it a try? Maybe they will really ask you to pay.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Zeng Xiaoxian had a wooden face and stared at Yifei dully.

"what!!!"

He bared his teeth and let out a depressed and weak roar with an expressionless face.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh even louder.

……

After the sixth and seventh rounds, except for Zeng Xiaoxian whose brilliant score of minus 500 completely established his status as the unlucky king of the apartment, the luck of others seemed to have improved more or less.

By the end of the eighth round, except for the four unlucky guys, Nanfeng, Zhang Wei, Ziqiao and Xiaohei, who didn't win a prize after scratching for a long time, everyone else won the consolation prize more or less.

Of course, after eight rounds, the total amount of winnings was less than 500 yuan, which once again proves that lotteries and scratch cards are a big scam.

At this point, not to mention everyone else, even Zhang Wei, who had been full of confidence in himself and believed that he would be able to get back the lost 50,000 yuan this time, has gradually realized the facts.

By the ninth round, Zhang Wei had basically lost his initial ambition. He went from scratching the lottery tickets with red eyes like a madman to his current nonchalant look.

If Zhang Wei still has any obsession now, it is that he hopes he can also scratch a scratch ticket with a prize.

This would prove that his luck was not too bad. At least he would not end up like Ziqiao, Xiaohei, and Teacher Zeng, the three unlucky guys, who got nothing.

As Zhang Wei was shaving, he suddenly froze in place, and his eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

"I got it! I got it! I got it!"

Zhang Wei slapped his thigh fiercely, looked up at the sky, and let out a triumphant and elated laugh.

"Oh, now I can finally say goodbye to the group of unlucky people who didn't win any prizes."

"Who are you calling the unlucky one? I'm just accumulating strength for a great outcome!"

Xiao Hei, who was standing beside Zhang Wei, threw away his ninth scratch ticket with no prize in anger. He gritted his teeth and swore, "This is the last one. I will definitely complete a gorgeous counterattack!"

"Xiao Hei, you are obsessed."

Zhang Wei, who was originally the most obsessed, began to educate Xiao Hei at this moment. He patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Scratch-off tickets are all scams. Don't think that you will be the one in a million who wins.

"Whenever you buy lottery tickets and scratch cards with this idea in mind, you are actually just a self-delusional leek." "No, Zhang Wei, when did your ideological awareness become so high?"

Xiao Hei tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Wei's winning scratch ticket.

Seeing that he hadn't even scratched out the amount below the winning number, Xiao Hei said speechlessly, "You haven't even scratched your own scratch ticket yet and you're here to lecture me. What if you have to pay 500 like Teacher Zeng?"

"what!!!"

Zeng Xiaoxian roared at Xiaohei with an unhappy look on his face.

Zhang Wei's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Although he felt that he would not be as unlucky as Teacher Zeng, his past experiences reminded him that when it came to being unlucky, the two brothers were absolutely equally unlucky.

Zhang Wei hurriedly scratched the amount under the winning number, and soon his eyebrows frowned in confusion.

"Another one..."

He looked up at everyone in astonishment: "What kind of reward is this?"

"Let me see."

Nan Feng came forward to take a look, then laughed out loud: "This reward is quite interesting, much more interesting than just ten dollars."

Zhang Wei asked doubtfully, "Then do I have to go to the store where I sell the tickets myself and ask the boss for another one?"

"No need to bother."

Nan Feng pointed at the two scratch tickets he hadn’t scratched yet and said, “We’re going to test our luck anyway, why not just do it all at once?

"Zhang Wei, if you're too lazy to go to the lottery shop, just get one from me. I scratched one more ticket than you today anyway."

"How embarrassing."

Zhang Wei spoke politely, but his body was honest as he casually took a scratch ticket.

Nan Feng asked casually, "Is this the only one?"

Zhang Wei nodded: "That's it?"

"Not changing anymore?"

"I won't change it."

"Very good, then..."

"and many more!"

Zhang Wei suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Can you give me five more minutes to choose..."

"Can't!!!"

Everyone, whose hour was wasted by Zhang Wei, slammed the coffee table and shouted.

Zhang Wei was startled. He shrank his neck, pouted his lips and said depressedly: "How stingy! You won't even give me five minutes..."

The crowd, still frightened, looked at Zhang Wei unhappily.

Nanfeng returned to his original position and was about to scratch the ninth scratch card when Zhang Wei suddenly raised his hand and shouted again.

"Wait a minute!"

Nan Feng stopped what he was doing and looked up in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Wei held up the scratch ticket in his hand and said with a smile: "Why don't I just pick the one in your hand?"

"Sure?"

"determine."

"You're not going to change it later?"

"I won't change it."

"Ok."

Nanfeng didn’t know what Zhang Wei thought was the difference between the two scratch tickets, but he felt there was no difference at all.

He stood up and exchanged the scratch card with Zhang Wei, then lowered his head and scratched the scratch card while praising Zhang Wei.

“I think what Zhang Wei said just now makes a lot of sense. Scratch tickets are all scams, and none of us should think that we will be the one in a million who wins.

"Whenever we buy lottery tickets and scratch cards with this idea in mind, we are actually just self-delusional leeks."

Nan Feng sneered and said, "Everyone has basically used up all the scratch tickets they have now. Everyone knows whether this thing is reliable or not.

"You want to get rich by scratching off tickets? How can you..."

Nanfeng was halfway through his words when he suddenly froze.

"How is this possible?!"

Nan Feng muttered to himself with a dazed look on his face, full of disbelief.

Yu Mo leaned over to take a look, his pupils suddenly dilated and his mouth opened wide.

"Oh my god……"

"You won another 50,000?!"

In an instant, the entire living room was filled with screams like a landslide or tsunami.

"Nani?!!"

Nan Feng raised his head silently and gave Zhang Wei a smile that was uglier than crying: "Zhang Wei, this..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly, and his dark face turned pale in an instant.
