Chapter 452: Second Prize... It's Still Passable

"Sigh, it's a shame the last digit was wrong; otherwise it would have been the First Prize. Anyway, it's a Second Prize... still decent, and with the multiplier it's 7 million, still passable," Xu Mo bragged modestly.

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "?"

An Youyi: "?"

Yang Jingxuan: "?"

Li Jiaxin: "?"

The four of them all wore the same puzzled expression on their faces.

Second Prize is still okay?

7 million still passable?

Do you want to hear what you're saying?!

Are you speaking human language??

7 million is already a lot, okay! What more could you be dissatisfied with after winning 7 million?

"Is there someone you know in the Lottery Shop?" An Youyi suddenly, as if she had thought of something, stared at Xu Mo with a suspicious look.

Xu Mo's reaction was odd—no, extremely odd!

To know, he won 7 million, a full 7 million, not 700 yuan.

A normal person who wins 7 million would inevitably be extremely excited, agitated, perhaps at a loss for words, speaking incoherently, even crying with joy.

Yet Xu Mo wore a calm, breezy expression, as if he had known from the start that he would win.

There must be something wrong here.

An Youyi even wondered whether Xu Mo had some inside information, perhaps he knew the winning numbers in advance, which is why he could win.

And precisely because of that, Xu Mo could be so composed after winning, and that confidence let him bet with them assuredly...

I just happen to be that lucky, really nothing special... Xu Mo rolled his eyes: "If I really knew any insiders, I'd already be rich... This Lottery Ticket was Machine Selection, it has nothing to do with me; the win is probably just because I'm lucky."

"Machine Selection won the Second Prize?" Yang Jingxuan narrowed her eyes, as if she had thought of something.

She liked buying Lottery Tickets since college, but never won, so she thought the lottery was a scam.

But now, she no longer thinks that way.

Maybe it's not the lottery's problem, it's hers!

Previously she always chose her own numbers, never used Machine Selection.

Could the problem be here? Only Machine Selection can win? Yang Jingxuan thought.

She, who had long given up playing the lottery, felt a spark of desire again.

She took out her phone, opened the map app, typed "Lottery Shop" into the search box, and tapped search.

The map displayed several Lottery Shops nearest to her location; Yang Jingxuan bookmarked the closest one, preparing to go tomorrow to try her luck...

……

Meanwhile.

At the Lottery Shop where the tickets were purchased.

The shop owner had finished his day's work, was about to tidy up and close for home.

As usual, after each draw he would check on his computer the prize amounts of the tickets sold here.

He does this because whenever a ticket sold by the shop wins a big prize, the issuing center gives the shop a corresponding reward.

Simply put, when a customer hits the jackpot, he also gets money.

Moreover, a customer winning a big prize lets the shop heavily promote itself; as soon as a banner announcing a million‑yuan jackpot is put up, business instantly improves.

Today happens to be the draw day.

So before leaving, the owner opened his computer and checked the backend sales records.

The results for this round of Double Color Ball had already been updated; if any tickets sold by his shop won, he could see it in the backend.

Opening the backend, the owner instantly got excited; the system showed that a ticket he sold today had won, and the prize wasn't small.

It was a full 7 million.

After confirming the prize amount, the owner looked at the details of that ticket.

The winning Second Prize ticket was Machine Selection and had a 100‑times multiplier.

Seeing this, the owner couldn't help but frown; a young man's figure flashed in his mind.

That afternoon, a lottery‑clueless young man came into the shop.

He bought one Machine‑selected Double Color Ball ticket and opted for a 100‑times multiplier.

The owner had a strong impression of that young man, because it was the biggest transaction of the day: only he bought a 200‑yuan Double Color Ball, and only he used Machine Selection with a 100‑times multiplier.

Thinking of a clueless person who couldn't even tell lottery types, casually spending 200 yuan on a Double Color Ball and winning 7 million, the shop owner instantly became unsettled.

"What the hell kind of luck is this…"

That kid actually won on his first lottery purchase, and it was the damn Second Prize! Including the multiplier, the prize is 7 million!

Could this be the legendary Euro Emperor Original Emperor?

Where the hell can I argue with this!

During the day, the shop owner had even silently mocked that clueless youngster in his mind, thinking he was just a day‑dreaming fool.

But now… the guy actually won.

The Clown turned out to be himself.

At this moment, the shop owner's mind was full of: Why didn't I place a bet then?!

……

In the villa.

"I really don't know any inside information; why won't you believe me? Didn't I tell you this Lottery Ticket was Machine Selection, random, I just got lucky… Are you trying to make excuses because you lost? Can't afford to play?"

My little scheme was actually discovered… An Youyi's face looked a bit unnatural.

The next second, she placed both hands on her hips, looking angry: "Who wants to cheat? Isn't it just to knead your feet? I'll knead them!"

After that, she also beckoned Xu Mo with a flick of her hand: "Stretch your foot over."

Xu Mo moved onto the sofa, extended his foot, assuming a posture ready to enjoy.

At the same time, Yang Jingxuan and Li Jiaxin both accepted their loss and fulfilled the bet, one giving Xu Mo a shoulder knead, the other giving Xu Mo a leg thump.

"Is this amount of force okay?"

"Fine, fine, just keep it like that… comfortable," Xu Mo closed his eyes in comfort.

Seeing Xu Mo's face full of enjoyment, An Youyi's eyes flicked, ready to apply a harmful point.

"I saw a Foot Massage Acupoint Matrix online; this acupoint on the foot corresponds to the kidney and can be used to assess kidney function. Let me press it for you. I'll start with just a tiny bit of force; tell me if it hurts."

After speaking, her expression turned grim, and she pressed down with a baby‑like force.

"Does this hurt?"

This damn is supposed to be just a little force? Your face is all twisted from the pressure—can't I see that?! Although he felt a sharp pang, Xu Mo still said expressionlessly: "It doesn't hurt, did you really press? I didn't feel anything."
