Chapter 2356: Cheating
Yang Bo walked forward and listened to everyone's discussion. He walked next to the scratch card lottery point and looked at it carefully.
Because there is no need to scratch the prize, the name has been changed here and it is called a lottery card, but Yang Bo is still used to calling it a scratch card.
These lottery cards are neatly arranged on a piece of cardboard, and the red envelope is stuck to the cardboard. If it is torn off, there will definitely be traces. This is some major means of preventing cheating.
Several lottery cards had been bought on the cardboard. Yang Bo looked around at the lottery cards and confirmed that two cards had prizes. He turned to look at Luo Yaohua and asked, "What is the probability of winning this thing?"
Luo Yaohua hesitated a little and said in a low voice: "Generally speaking, for such a piece of cardboard, there will be one first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes, the first prize is three taels of silver, the second prize is two taels, and three
Wait for one or two prizes!”
Yang Bo stared at the cardboard and counted. There were thirty lottery cards on this big cardboard. Each lottery card cost five hundred coins. Thirty cards equaled fifteen taels of silver, but the bonus only cost ten taels of silver!
This is simply a very profitable business!
The most important thing is that Luo Yaohua did not make it clear that it was impossible for them to announce such awards, so one or two awards were missing from a large cardboard. This is normal operation. In this way, the profits will be even greater!
However, Yang Bo couldn't help but frown as he stared at the blank spaces that had been removed.
Luo Yaohua looked at Yang Bo with some curiosity, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Yang Bo shook his head, "There aren't many prizes left on this piece of paper!"
After that, Yang Bo stepped forward, reached out and tore off the two lottery cards and handed them to the teller, "I bought these two!"
The teller was a new recruit. The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy looked extremely smart. He quickly said: "Chenghui has one tael of silver!"
"Sir, don't you buy a few more? This kind of lottery card is very fun. You can win up to three taels of silver!"
Yang Bo chuckled and stared at the teller, "Three taels of silver, is there a lottery card that can win thirty taels of silver?"
The teller smiled and said: "How do I know this? I just charge money!"
Looking at Yang Bo's reaction, Luo Yaohua seemed to vaguely understand that there must be something wrong with this matter, but Yang Bo didn't want to say it clearly, and he couldn't ask directly in front of the teller, so he had to hold it back.
Yang Bo shook his head, "I'm afraid there are no first prizes for the remaining cards!"
After saying that, Yang Bo waved his hand gently, and a guard immediately came forward and handed over a tael of silver.
The teller took the money and said with a smile: "I'll charge you one tael of silver. Please keep the two lottery cards!"
"You can tear up the lottery card. You need to be careful not to tear the lottery card, otherwise it will be difficult to redeem it!"
Yang Bo didn't pay attention. He tore open the red envelope on the spot and revealed the lottery card inside. He didn't open it, but turned the lottery card upside down on the counter.
Then, Yang Bo tore open another lottery card, folded it upside down, handed it to the teller and said, "Help me redeem the prize!"
The teller was stunned, but he could see it clearly. Yang Bo didn't even open the lottery card to check, so how could he be sure that he had won?
However, the teller was professionally trained. He did not dare to say anything more. He reached out and opened the two lottery cards. He was stunned because instead of the words "Thank you for your patronage" on the two lottery cards, they said "Second Class".
Award" and "Third Prize"!
The teller's eyes widened. He looked up at Yang Bo, full of disbelief, "How is this possible?"
Yang Bo frowned, "What do you mean? Didn't I buy these two lottery cards from you?"
The two got into an argument, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and the store became quiet.
The teller had only been on the job for a few days and had never encountered such a situation before, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and reached out to hold up the lottery card.
"Congratulations to this gentleman, you have won both lottery cards, one second prize and one third prize!"
The young man's voice echoed in the store. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then reacted and gathered around.
"Xiaobai, give me a lottery card too. I'm also very happy. Maybe I can win the first prize!"
"I want one too. I put the money here. I want to find a good one myself. This time, I will definitely win the first prize!"
"Don't grab it. There are still a lot of lottery cards. I'll draw them first. I'm the first one to come here!"
There were a lot of people at the scene, and the small store suddenly became chaotic. Before everyone tore open the red envelope, they all felt that they must be the winners!
Only when you see the truth will you understand that luck does not favor everyone!
Yang Bo pulled Luo Yaohua out of the crowd and stood in front of the crowd, almost being squeezed out of the store.
Luo Yaohua was very puzzled. He turned and looked at Yang Bo, "What's going on? What are you going to do?"
Yang Bo smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, you can always see the results if you wait!"
Luo Yaohua was a little puzzled, but he still waited.
There were still twenty-two lottery cards left on the cardboard. There were many people at the scene, and some even bought four at once, so they were all sold out quickly.
Everyone tore open the envelope and took out the lottery cards on the spot. When they saw the results, they couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, there was a sigh in the audience, and no one won the prize!
Luo Yaohua was the first to notice this problem. He turned to look at Yang Bo and quickly walked into the store.
Yang Bo walked out of the lottery shop. He had already pointed out the problem, and Luo Yaohua must have understood the problem.
There is a problem with this store, and the problem is not small!
Before Yang Bo drew the lottery, he bought a total of six lottery cards, and four of them actually had prizes. Is this possible?
Of course, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible, but the possibility is too small to be convincing. The most likely thing is that this store cheated and took away all the grand prizes, which led to such a situation!
Yang Bo did not remind Luo Yaohua directly because it was difficult for him to explain that he could see through the envelope. But in this way, he posed a problem for Luo Yaohua!
For Luo Yaohua, this was not a big deal. He walked into the store and quickly took control of the situation. He asked the store manager to take out the previous winning records and show them to everyone present!
The winning record clearly recorded the detailed information of the winner. This information was very accurate. This was unexpected by everyone at the scene. Even if they were suspicious, they could not provide any evidence for a while, so they had to give up!
After Luo Yaohua dealt with the matter, he didn't wait much longer. He scolded the store manager and left.
After leaving the lottery shop and seeing Yang Bo with a smile on his face, Luo Yaohua couldn't help but said: "You knew this a long time ago?"
"How is it possible? How could I know in advance?" Yang Bo shook his head, "However, if a store like this does not have modern anti-counterfeiting methods, problems will occur sooner or later!"
