Xia Jianshe found a guesthouse near the police station and planned to stay there for a while to familiarize himself with the environment.

Xia Minmin, however, was drawn to the conversation between two people nearby.

"Hey, how's your luck?"

"Not really, nothing happened."

"Hey, me too. It's not like this is the biggest instant lottery draw this year, with a 50% chance of winning. The most important prize this year is 2 million."

"Two million!?"

"Yeah, didn't you notice how crowded it is today? Today's the last day, and the 2 million prize hasn't been drawn yet. Everyone's waiting for this prize!"

"Wouldn't that mean a lot of people would be trying their luck?"

"I heard the person who bought the most tickets bought 5,000!"

Did you win?

"Are you stupid! If you win, not so many people will keep buying."

"Two yuan, everyone wants to try their luck, just in case they win!"

"Let's go, let's go. This thing isn't suitable for us working people. Let's just go to work and earn our wages!"

Xia Jianguo folded the newspaper. "Little Sister Chunmei, let's go. It's time to go to the guesthouse!"

Li Chunmei tugged at Xia Minmin, who was lost in thought, "Xiaomin, let's go."

"Mom, I want to buy a lottery ticket and try my luck," Xia Minmin said, pointing to the lottery counter.

Li Chunmei said, "Why are you buying lottery tickets? It's all a scam."

"Mom, let's finish today. No one has won the 2 million prize yet. Let's give it a try! What if we win?"

"Dad! Give it a try, it's only two dollars, buy it and let's go right away! I promise!"

Seeing Xia Minmin's expression, Xia Jianguo knew that she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted, so he took out two yuan and gave it to her.

Xia Xiaomei took out two yuan and mustered up her courage to say, "Second brother, I want to try it too."

"Okay, you two be careful."

The aunt and niece walked hand in hand toward the lottery table.
