People are in the United States: the starting point is full of intelligence

Chapter 66 Winning!

After hearing what the waiter said, Ned said happily, "That's great, our stomachs are growling with hunger, isn't your store full?"

The waiter smiled and said: "Not yet, but it should be soon, do you want to come in for dinner?"

"Of course!"

Several people entered the restaurant, and the interior layout was a bit luxurious, but there was nothing special about it.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and the waiter led Eitlake and others to a group of vacant seats in the middle of the restaurant to prepare, and placed four menus in front of the four of them.

Ned flipped through the menu, and accidentally turned to the last few pages, and the astonishing price came into view:
"$5000? What kind of food is this so expensive?"

The waiter said: "This is a seafood meal cooked by our specially hired chef in Japan. The ingredients are single-headed abalone from the Arctic Ocean and Danish rose and blue dragon. It fully stimulates the original flavor of the ingredients and presents you with an ultimate feast of audio-visual smell... ..."

Gwen said: "Sounds good, but we are all students and don't have that much money. Is there any cheap food?"

Itlake flipped through the first few pages, all of which were set menus worth more than ten dollars, and said, "I want this, pizza and minestrone soup."

Everyone else ordered less expensive food, chatted and waited for it to be served.

But not long after the waiter left, he turned back and said excitedly to Ned, "Sir, congratulations, you have won the lottery!"

Ned was stunned, how did I win the lottery if I didn't draw?

"You are the 10000th customer who ordered mushroom cream soup since the store opened!

In order to reward customers for their support, we will prepare a grand prize for the 10000th customer of each dish. "

Ned was still a little skeptical, but the diners around all cast envious eyes, and some were still whispering——

"This lad is so lucky!"

"I really envy!"

"A week ago, my friend also won the big prize. I didn't expect to meet him again today. When will it be my turn?"

Ned thought he still had a certain ability to prevent fraud. If it was a scam, it would be impossible to hire so many actors in the entire restaurant just to deceive or prank an ordinary high school student like himself, and asked:
"So what exactly is the prize?"

"The seafood set coupon worth 5000 US dollars is only available today."

Ned's eyes almost straightened when he heard the figure of 5000 US dollars. How many game consoles and cassettes can be bought!I guess I can't finish playing in my life!

"Can this thing be exchanged for cash?"

"Excuse me, sir, no."

Ned was a little hesitant. It couldn't be exchanged for intuitive cash. Maybe it was a scam...

"Where to eat?"

"With the voucher, you can dine in the newly built luxurious private room of our store one block away."

"Can my friends come with me?"

"Sorry, no, the coupon is only for one person."

Ned was worried. He had just arrived in Las Cruces, and he was unfamiliar with the place. Although he had no use value, he was still over 160 kilograms of fat. If he deceived himself there, he would dismember him. What should I do...

Ned's face turned red and then turned pale, and the unrealistic assumptions in his mind scared him enough, so he finally chose a safer way and confirmed with the restaurant waiter that this lottery ticket is not limited to his own use, so he told the restaurant Among others:
"Anyone of you want this ticket? It's worth $5000, and I'll sell it for $4000!"

Ned had just heard that other people were envious of him, and they should buy it.

But the result was somewhat different from what Ned thought. What everyone wanted was the free $5000 luxury seafood set meal, not the paid $5000 luxury seafood set meal. Some people even started to discuss——

"Is this little black fat man a babysitter of the restaurant? Are they working together to deceive people?"

"It's possible that they colluded in secret, and then pretended to win the lottery, and finally let us pay a high price for a hellish set meal that is usually used to scam the rich."

Ned felt very uncomfortable when he heard everyone's comments, and said, "I'm really not a liar! Really! I'm just a student who came to study in New Mexico. The three of them are with me, and they can all testify!"

Some people believed Ned's words and said, "I believe in you, and I want to buy it too, but your price should be lower, 2500 US dollars, do you think it's okay?"

Ned was a little hesitant. His own bid of 4000 was already 1000 cheaper, and now he directly cut off 1500...

Before Ned could speak, another person at the table said, "I want to buy it too, and I'll bid $1000!"

"I can consider it too, if you only need $200."

"Buy it now, sell me the lottery ticket for $40."

"I think it's only $5, no more! Hahaha!"

What Ned didn't expect was that the price of the crowd got lower and lower, and finally someone booed and lowered it to a few cents, and everyone burst into laughter.

Feeling ridiculed, Ned felt a little annoyed, and said angrily, "I won't sell this thing! I'll eat it myself!"

Gwen's father is NYPD, and she has been more courageous since she was a child. She saw Ned's worry and said, "Ned, if you don't want to go, give me the lottery ticket, and I will go for you."

Gwen was originally kind, but this annoyed Ned:
"No, I'm going by myself, I'm not worried at all, why don't I eat the $5000 free meal?
Waiter, take me there! "

Ned walked out of the restaurant with the waiter, belly out, head held high.

The hustle and bustle in the restaurant gradually calmed down, and only Itlake, Gwen and Hannah were left at the table.

A few people were still waiting for their meal, Gwen swiped her phone, and after exclaiming, she showed it to Itlake and Hannah:
"Look, this is the photo that Ned just posted. The decoration inside is so luxurious!"

After Ned came to the luxury private room a few blocks away, there was no scary scene that he had feared, and it was really a luxurious dinner worth $5000.

Busily took out his mobile phone to take pictures and posted them on his personal social account.

Everyone envied Ned, who never expected that Ned would be so lucky that he would encounter such a good thing today.

The three of them were chatting about Ned, but the food was not served for a long time. Suddenly, a waiter came to Gwen:
"Ma'am, congratulations, you are the 5000th customer who ordered Chicago Deep Dish Pizza! You have won the grand dinner award!"

Gwen has been wondering just now whether she will win the lottery herself. Although the probability of two people in the same company winning the lottery at the same time is very low, from a mathematical point of view, if Ned's winning the lottery has become an established fact, then the probability of winning the lottery himself It will not be pulled down, these are two independent probability events.

For example, if you toss a coin five times, the results of the first four tosses are all heads, and people intuitively think that the probability of the fifth tail will be a little higher.

But in fact, the probability of heads and tails appearing on the fifth time is the same.
