"How much?" Cheng Yan asked curiously, thinking that this was a secret of Qingliu City, and only the senior officials of the Qingliu Municipal Government and the director of the lottery center knew it.
"The probability is zero." Wang Xiaohai said, "There are small prizes, but the printing factory didn't print out the first prize at all." He is the mayor of Qingliu City and has access to these confidential documents.
"I'm the Speaker's son, how come I didn't know!" Cheng Yan complained, "It seems I have no status in Qingliu City at all."

"Yes, and the endgames and herbal wine sold on the street are also a scam." Wang Xiaohai couldn't help but add a few words when the topic came up. "Using exhaustive methods to crack the endgame, you'll find that at best you can only draw with him, but you can never win. Herbal wine and other things that involve breaking a chicken or snake and then reattaching the bones are just some kind of sleight of hand magic trick. It won't work at all if you buy it. If his medicine is so effective, why doesn't he open a pharmaceutical factory, apply for a patent, and make a fortune? Why does he have to sell it to you on the street?"
Cheng Yan nodded in agreement.
