Chapter 451: Did Xu Mo Really Win?

"Lottery Ticket?"

Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at the Lottery Ticket in Xu Mo's hand and asked curiously.

"Hmm," Xu Mo nodded, "I feel my luck has been good lately, so I bought one to try."

"Oh… have you won?"

"I don't know yet; the draw hasn't happened, it starts at 9:15."

Zhou Qiaoqiao glanced at the time on her phone.

"9:15… that's soon, still a dozen minutes or so."

Zhou Qiaoqiao had never bought a Lottery Ticket before, and she was still a bit curious about this unfamiliar thing.

She immediately said, "I'll wait for the draw with you!"

She wanted to wait for the draw result with Xu Mo, not only out of curiosity but also for another reason.

She believed Xu Mo could win.

The reason was simple: Xu Mo's luck was indeed great, off the charts!

You see, not long ago Xu Mo had found a carrier ship, and that alone proved his luck was extraordinary, defying fate.

With such fate-defying luck, is winning the lottery too much?

Obviously not excessive!

Meanwhile, Yang Jingxuan, An Youyi, and Li Jiaxin gathered as well.

And the three each shared their opinions on Lottery Tickets.

"When I was in school I also liked buying Lottery Tickets, but I never won even once, and then I saw through it… it's a scam; anyone who wins the big prize is a plant!" Yang Jingxuan said.

"Exactly, I think the same; the odds of winning a small prize exist, but winning the big prize…" Li Jiaxin shrugged.

An Youyi's view was even more extreme.

She shook her head solemnly and said, "No, I think even small prizes are impossible! All winners are plants."

In their eyes, Lottery Tickets are a complete scam.

Winning is impossible; buying a Lottery Ticket is just throwing money away.

In fact, before today Xu Mo held exactly the same view as the three; he also thought Lottery Tickets were a scam, and because of that he had never bought one.

Even now, Xu Mo still holds that belief, but since the System Reward gave him ten luck points, he believes he will definitely win.

Even if he can't win the First Prize, he can get the Second Prize; if he can't get the Second, he'll certainly get the Third Prize.

Anyway, he is certain to win, and it's absolutely impossible for the money spent on the Lottery Ticket to go to waste.

Xu Mo glanced at his phone.

It was now 9:10.

There were five minutes left until the draw.

Xu Mo's mind flickered, and he smiled at the others.

"Five minutes left until the draw; shall we make a bet?"

"Bet on what?" An Youyi asked instinctively.

"Just bet whether I can win."

Betting on whether you can win? No need to think; you definitely can't! An Youyi nodded without hesitation.

In her view, Xu Mo could not win.

She was sure to win this bet!

A bet requires a stake.

An Youyi looked at Xu Mo, "What's the stake? What is the stake?"

"Stake… if you lose, you massage my feet; and if I lose, what do you want me to do?"

"Sure," An Youyi nodded, "Then it's settled: if you lose, you also massage my feet."

After setting the wager with An Youyi, Xu Mo turned his gaze to Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, and Li Jiaxin.

Zhou Qiaoqiao was the first to shake her head, "I won't bet; you all can bet without me."

In Zhou Qiaoqiao's eyes, Xu Mo's luck was indeed great, and he had a high probability of winning, so she didn't bet.

Seeing Zhou Qiaoqiao not betting, Xu Mo shifted his gaze to Yang Jingxuan and Li Jiaxin, "What about you two?"

"Bet!" the two shouted in unison.

"Then, if you two lose, one can pound my legs and the other can massage my shoulders, how about that?" Xu Mo said, his foot already being massaged, so the stakes needed a slight change.

Both responded with a hum, indicating no problem.

While speaking, six minutes passed; it was now 9:16, and the draw results could be checked.

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Mo opened the website to check the Lottery Ticket results.

The Double Color Ball results for this issue were: 08 18 20 22 24 28 10, a total of seven numbers; the first six are red balls, the last is the blue ball.

All seven numbers matched, winning the First Prize, with a single-ticket prize of 6.7 million.

Matching only the six red balls earned the Second Prize, a single-ticket prize of 70,000.

"Let me see whether you won," An Youyi said, glancing at the results, then picked up the Lottery Ticket on the coffee table to check.

The others gathered around, ready to witness together; they looked at the phone, then at the Lottery Ticket, and began to compare.

"08,08…"

"18,18…"

"20,20…"

"22,22…"

The first four pairs were identical.

By the time they got to this point, the few of them were already a bit stunned.

Four sets of numbers matched consecutively?

This can't be the rhythm of actually winning the grand prize, can it?!

After a brief daze, the few of them continued to check the fifth set of numbers.

The fifth set of numbers on the Lottery Ticket Xu Mo bought was 24, and the draw result was also 24; five sets of numbers have now matched exactly in a row!

There are only the last two sets left; if those two also match, Xu Mo will be the grand prize winner of this issue.

An Youyi involuntarily inhaled sharply, then continued to compare the remaining two sets of numbers.

The sixth set of numbers on the Lottery Ticket Xu Mo bought was 28, and the draw result was 28; the sixth set also matches.

Six red balls matched, which already qualifies for the Second Prize.

A single bet prize of 70,000 yuan, multiplied by the hundredfold Xu Mo added, makes the prize seven million!

There is one set left; if the final blue ball number also matches exactly, that would be the First Prize, with an astronomical amount of prize money!

For the final blue ball, Xu Mo chose 11 while the draw result was 10, off by one digit, so he missed the First Prize.

Out of seven sets, Xu Mo matched six, winning the Second Prize; with the multiplier, the prize is seven million.

"He really won!" Zhou Qiaoqiao exclaimed excitedly.

Before the draw, she had a feeling Xu Mo would win, and it turned out he actually did.

Although it wasn't the First Prize, the Second Prize Xu Mo won was still substantial—seven million, a fortune that many people can never attain in a lifetime.

The remaining three women wore bewildered, incredulous expressions, looking at the Lottery Ticket, the draw results, and Xu Mo beside them.

To make sure they hadn't misread, the few of them repeatedly cross‑checked the Lottery Ticket with the draw results.

After comparing many times, they finally realized their eyes weren't deceiving them; Xu Mo indeed won the Second Prize, a single bet prize of 70,000 yuan, and with Xu Mo's hundredfold addition, the prize totaled a full seven million.

Seven million... that's definitely a solid big prize.

They lost, Xu Mo won, he really won!
