How much have you won?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao calmly said, \"Not much, seven hundred and fifty thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lady froze for a moment, then asked in shock, \"How much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven hundred and fifty thousand,\" Qin Miao repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lady suddenly looked at the lottery ticket, her eyes almost popping out of her sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years of experience allowed the lady to instantly discern whether a scratch card is a winner and how much it has won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she immediately saw the number indicating that he had won 750,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, your luck is incredible! You really won seven hundred and fifty thousand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to give it another try while you’re on a lucky streak? You might win again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qin Miao did not agree, as he was there to receive the system’s reward, not to buy lottery tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, please help me cash in the prize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll need to go through the process first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, the shopkeeper began to carefully inspect the ticket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was the ticket she had just handed to Qin Miao, and he had scratched it in front of her, 750,000 was not a small amount, so she dared not be negligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, she checked the ticket’s authenticity and validity date, and after confirming there were no issues, the shopkeeper didn’t immediately give Qin Miao the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she carefully returned the ticket to Qin Miao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao was a bit puzzled, but before he could speak, the shopkeeper explained, \"Our small shop can only cash prizes under 10,000 yuan; if it exceeds 10,000, you would need to go to our city’s lottery center.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But your prize exceeds 200,000 yuan, so the city lottery center can’t cash it either; you’ll need to go to the provincial lottery center.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you need to keep this ticket safe and take your ID card or household registration book to the provincial lottery center when you have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, the occasional income tax is quite high, so after taxes on this 750,000 yuan, you’ll end up with only 600,000 in hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, it’s a windfall, so make sure you keep the ticket safe, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao nodded dumbly, thinking that cashing in a prize would be easy—buy a ticket, then take the money and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know that winning meant he would have to make a trip to the provincial capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, Qin Miao couldn’t go to claim his prize. After thinking it over, he decided to head home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was, Qin Miao knew the system hadn’t overpaid him because the scratch card read as winning 750,000, but paying out 600,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao didn’t plan to bother his mom; he would inform her when she returned from work, and then he could go claim it alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao’s mom ran a business, not making much money, but ensured they wouldn’t go hungry, and she was very open-minded, never refusing Qin Miao’s reasonable requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why, despite coming from an average family, his mom was willing to get him a reasonably priced computer, plus racing setup starting at least at 2,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao was about to leave but remembered he still had 30,000 of system money he hadn’t claimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his phone and saw his balance left at 27.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, Qin Miao asked the shopkeeper, \"Are there cheaper lottery tickets?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper hesitated, wondering if the young man was getting addicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gambling is detrimental; he might end up returning all his winnings of 60,000 back to the lottery company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t try to persuade him but took out some red scratch cards, saying, \"These are 5 yuan each, do you want them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao nodded, saying, \"Give me five.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning to pay, Qin Miao scratched all five tickets in front of the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in the shopkeeper’s stunned gaze, four out of the five scratch cards won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the four, three won 8,000 each, and one won 6,000 — totaling to 30,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since the four scratch cards won separately, there was no need to go to the city’s lottery center; they could be cashed right at the small shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the shopkeeper felt like she was dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much left to say; Qin Miao walked into the lottery shop with less than 50 yuan of expendable money, and when he left, he had 30,000 cash in his Alipay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the shopkeeper watched Qin Miao leave from the shop entrance with eyes as if seeing a monster,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what was up with this guy’s luck? It seemed like he wasn’t here to buy lottery tickets, but rather to collect money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way home, Qin Miao suddenly felt that his system was quite useful. Despite his PTSD towards ten-draw gacha, his lovely system dad at home was different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most ten-draw gacha require money, but his system dad gives money for ten-draw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this over, Qin Miao sent another message to Qimeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[NC desk mate, I just scratched some more cards.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Qimeng didn’t reply with a message but called directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin Miao, you didn’t get scammed, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, Qimeng’s words surprised Qin Miao; he thought she might ask how much he won, but instead, she was concerned about whether he got scammed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That inexplicable feeling in Qin Miao’s heart grew stronger, and the awkwardness he felt towards Qimeng began to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way! I’m sharp as a monkey!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, as long as you weren’t scammed. How much did you win this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao laughed and said, \"Not much, 30,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Qimeng’s current mindset, knowing Qin Miao won almost 800,000 through scratch cards in under half an hour left her speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qimeng didn’t think Qin Miao would joke about this; she knew him well enough to know he wouldn’t go about teasing her this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Qimeng was sure Qin Miao really won a prize, and it was a significant one at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Qimeng felt a headache as things exceeded her expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the butterfly effect this terrifying?\" she muttered to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I need to go to Changsha tomorrow.\" Before Qimeng could dwell on it, Qin Miao spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puzzled Qimeng asked, \"Going to Changsha for fun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, to collect money. The shop where I bought the scratch cards can’t cash in the prize; I have to go to Changsha to get it, so I’m planning to go tomorrow.\" Saying this, Qin Miao hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, \"Do you... want to go together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1173,"2026-06-06T15:23:01.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","b16db0460d955df4673ff396c3214303730b28e2c3620c67c87cc2309134b8ef","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-23","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-21",1086,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-cover.jpg"]
