"Where are you all going?"

"I heard they won the first prize, so I went to see."

"I heard it was the grand prize?"

"The grand prize? I'll definitely go see it!"

"The grand prize winner has been announced!"

When Xia Minmin and her group arrived at the prize redemption area, they were already followed by about a hundred people.

"Hello, is this where I redeem my prize?"

"Yes."

Xia Jianguo handed a dozen lottery tickets to the staff.

The staff thought to themselves, "These lottery tickets probably don't belong to wealthy people. How could they afford so many? Could they be fake?!" After repeatedly verifying the authenticity of the tickets, they began to claim the prizes.

"One bowl."

"One bowl."

"One bowl."

...

More and more people gathered around, all of them having heard that the grand prize had been drawn and were waiting to see what happened!

"Who exactly spread the rumor that it was the grand prize?"

"That's all?!"

"Why are there only bowls? How many lottery tickets did this person buy?"

"It's also possible that they picked it up; I just saw a lot of people picking up lottery tickets from the ground."

"This is such a waste of time, let's call it a day! Let's call it a day!"

"Let's go, let's go, no grand prize was won, it's a scam!"

"A handkerchief."

"A handkerchief."

"A handkerchief."

...

The staff rolled their eyes as they counted the stack of lottery tickets. Originally, these unredeemed bowls and handkerchiefs were supposed to be distributed among them, but for some reason this afternoon, a lot of people came and all of them were redeeming handkerchiefs and bowls.

There are still quite a few people queuing up with stacks of lottery tickets, ready to claim their prizes. If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably all be handkerchiefs and bowls.

The staff were upset just thinking about it; their previously good benefits were gone, and their tone became increasingly worse.

One rice cooker

"The biggest one isn't the rice cooker!"

"How is that possible? There are still lottery tickets that haven't been redeemed."

"Country folks are so ignorant; they're all smiles over a rice cooker!"

"that is."

"What a waste of time! I might as well go home and have dinner."

“Two…two million!!” the staff member said in a trembling voice.

"It really is 2 million!"

"The grand prize winner has been announced!"

"What? The grand prize has been won? I'm going to check!"

"I'll go too."

"Wait for me!"

After hearing that the staff member had bet two million, other staff members who were redeeming prizes gathered around, and one of them went to contact their superiors.

"It really is 2 million!"

"The grand prize is gone just like that?"

"Does that little girl look familiar to you?"

"Doesn't it look like the person who just picked up a lottery ticket next to us?"

"It really is! Could it be that I lost it?" the man said, bowing his head and stamping his feet.

"How could that be? You only lost it after you repeatedly checked and confirmed it was correct!"

"I saw her pick up so many! Look at her luck! It's infuriating!"

"I should have brought my son along; maybe kids are just lucky!"

"That's possible!"

"I don't know if there's enough time now. I'm thinking of bringing my son over!"

Seeing that the staff hadn't continued redeeming prizes, Xia Minmin said, "Brother, there's still one lottery ticket left!"

"Okay, I got it, little one, let me continue!"

The staff member looked at the last lottery ticket and announced, "First prize!"

"She not only won the grand prize, she also won the first prize!"

"Is this the reincarnation of the God of Wealth? His fortune is so good!"

"His parents are so lucky! They got so much money for nothing!"

"Why isn't she my child?"

What is the first prize?

"One Santana!"

"This year's spending is really extravagant!"

"There are a total of five first prizes, and two more are still in the prize pool."

"Then I'll have to go buy a few more."

"Maybe I'll get a Santana in the draw."

"Wait for me, I'm coming too."

"I'll go too."

The staff member led the superior over, "Director, they not only won a grand prize but also a first prize."

"The authenticity of the lottery ticket has been preliminarily confirmed."

The manager in charge of the lottery outlet said to Xia Jianguo, "Hello, comrade! Let's go to the back to conduct a second verification of the authenticity of the lottery tickets. This way, please."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome. You've done us a great favor. Lately, people have been saying that all the lottery winners are shills, and that there's no grand prize."

Xia Jianguo said with a smile, "This is also our first time in Shenzhen. My daughter and younger sister wanted to try their luck, so they bought two tickets, and unexpectedly, both of them won."

"It seems that Shenzhen is very prosperous for your family. With this bonus, you can buy a house and settle down in Shenzhen. Have you considered selling this Santana you won?"

"Director, could you help me find a business owner to sell this property?"

“I happen to have a friend who wants to buy it. If you buy it, I'll call him right away and have him give you the money directly, along with the lottery ticket, so you don't have to transfer the money to his account!”

"If that's the case, that's wonderful! Thank you so much for your help, Director!"

Xia Minmin and her family followed the lottery shop manager into the office. "Xiao Niu, pour four cups of tea! And call Lao Wang and Lao Sun over, remember to bring their testing tools."

A cheerful female voice replied, "Yes, Director."

The lady named Xiao Niu came over with a cup of tea and said, "Please have some tea."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

The lottery outlet manager told Xiao Niu, "Xiao Niu, after you go out, call your brother Xiang and tell him to bring money to buy a car."

"Understood, Director." Xiao Niu left with the tray.

A knock sounded at the door. "Director!"

"Old Wang and Old Sun, you two, appraise these two lottery tickets."

Old Wang and Old Sun were seen repeatedly checking the authenticity of the lottery tickets with tools, taking turns to do so.

"Director, the lottery ticket is definitely fine. We'll head out now." With that, he left.

"Comrade, you will need to pay some taxes on your lottery ticket. You will receive approximately 1.6 million yuan. We will issue you a check, and the money will be transferred to your bank account after you open a bank account."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help."

"The car is priced at 200,000, while the market price is 250,000. There is a 40,000 tax on the car. My friend will give you a check for 210,000."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Xia Minmin's family all use the same method: no matter how much or how little money they have, as long as they can get their hands on it, that's all that matters.

After much trouble, the family finally received two checks. Xia Jianguo was filled with emotion as he held the checks. Just over a year ago, he was heavily in debt, but today he had more than a million yuan.

"Comrade, I'll have Xiao Niu take you out through another door to be safer. It's not safe for you to show your faces outside. The third house on your right after you go out is the bank."

Xia Jianguo held the lottery shop manager's hand and kept expressing his gratitude. This was the first benefactor they had met since arriving in Shenzhen, who had always been thinking of them.
