“What?”

“He has no money left and the production team has to provide the food?”

“How is that possible? This brat really knows how to joke around, huh? It is pretty funny though.”

Even Smith, who was standing at the side, laughed at Ryan’s words.

The host and the program team members also laughed long.

Thump!

Ryan put up his leg on the table.

“What are you laughing at? I’m serious. I don’t have any money. Are you going to buy me food or not?” Ryan said.

The program team had their hands tied as they faced Ryan’s rudeness.

At the same time, Professor Smith was secretly admiring him. Geniuses were often mavericks and weirdos in the eyes of others.

People had different opinions in the comments section of the live broadcast.

“I would never allow my child to be so rude in front of so many people.”

“I think he’s quite cool though.”

“That melancholic temperament of his is definitely affecting Professor Smith.”

The host smiled and asked, “Mr. Ryan, what did you spend your money on?”

It was just a casual question that he did not expect Ryan to have such a reply.

Everyone thought that Ryan was messing around and did not take him too seriously. The production team had been following Ryan around all this time. Did they not know how much Ryan had spent?

Did they not know what he did?

“I bought lottery tickets, “Ryan said.

…

Three seconds later—

Waves of laughter flooded the live broadcast.

“Hahaha, this kid actually said that he spent six million dollars to buy lottery tickets? Is he confused? Did he really win five million dollars instead? Hahaha.”

“Yeah, this brat is really funny. He should become a comedian.”

“The Goddess of Luck is dreaming a dream within a dream. Ridiculous—”

The corners of Smith’s mouth curled up. It was all too comical and simply impossible.

The probability of that happening was even lower than winning six million dollars.

Buying six million dollars in the lottery…

How crazy was that?

The program team felt extremely aggrieved during the interview.

Although the program’s viewership ratings had increased tremendously, the devilish child in front of them was still rather unlikable.

At that moment, everyone was laughing out loud without a care for their image.

Ryan felt that his dignity had been challenged. He widened his eyes and said, “You guys don’t believe me?”

Everyone shook their heads in unison and did not say anything further.

Ryan grabbed his school bag and rummaged through it under everyone’s watch.

When Ryan was finished with the stock market just now, he had a bit of free time and the program team felt that there was no need to follow him. That was when he had crossed the road and walked into a lottery station.

Everyone saw it but did not take it seriously. It was only natural for him to try his luck by buying a lottery ticket after winning that much money.

“What is he doing? Could he be looking for the lottery tickets?”

Everyone was stunned.

What was going on?

“Look at how serious he is. Could he really be looking for the lottery tickets?”

“That’s impossible. One lottery ticket is two dollars. He had six million dollars. That’s three million lottery tickets.”

“A small schoolbag can’t hold that many lottery tickets.”

What they didn’t know was that Ryan wasn’t looking for lottery tickets at all. He was looking for the receipt.

He took out a thick stack of receipts—as thick as two Oxford Dictionaries—and slammed it onto the table with a bang. “Take a look. These are all the receipts for my lottery tickets. The total is a little more than six million dollars.”

Suddenly, the laughter stopped.

Even the tens of millions of people who were watching stopped commenting under the live broadcast.

Time seemed to have frozen.

The host’s hands trembled as he took over the thick stack of receipts.

There was a close-up of the receipts.

Every single one of the audience could clearly hear the cameraman exclaim, “Ah, my God, it really is the receipts.”

The host felt his mouth and tongue dry up. He could not speak as he flipped through the pages one by one.

The audience was stunned as their eyes followed the flipping of receipts.

There were strings of the same numbers on each of the pages. It was over a thousand pages of the same lottery number!

The host’s hands trembled as he flipped to the back of the stack.

He couldn’t believe that each of the lottery numbers was of the same one.

Everyone noticed the host’s eyes were as big as saucers as he came to the last page.

The total bill was 6,105,000 USD…

Everyone felt their breathing quicken.

“Oh my God— I’m going crazy.”

“What in the world is this?”

“What the f*ck, someone actually bought 6 million dollars worth of the same lottery number in one go?!”

“Whoa, we could never understand what this brat was thinking.”

“OMG, this is insane.”

“This is probably the craziest incident in the history of mankind.”

“Do people really buy lottery like this? Each draw from the prize pool costs millions.”

What is he doing?

Is he really that crazy to have bought all of the same numbers?

Is he trying to shift the market by himself?”

“In the lottery industry is completely random. It all comes down to one’s luck.

Who would dare say that they could make a profit out of it?”

“I’m not sure that that’s entirely true. The gambling industry has its own rules and regulations to follow.

But to spend more than six million dollars on the same string of numbers all in one go? I think only this brat could pull it off. 

Impressive, impressive, impressive!!!”

During all of that, Professor Smith was also dumbfounded.

The bet was too big. He reckoned that no financial investor would dare to play such a risk.

If one wasn’t careful, all the money go down the drain. Plus, they were of the same numbers? The probability of not winning was definitely high.

The host was also bewildered.

He perceived that the child in front of him was absolutely incredible.

He really was an outstanding brat.

Continuously, it wasn’t only Smith who was slowly getting insane.

Smith’s competitor who had originally taken a liking towards Ryan because of his talents spat out a mouthful of coffee onto his daughter’s face as he saw the live broadcast.

His daughter immediately screamed and ran to the bathroom as the coffee was scalding.

However, Smith’s competitor didn’t pay attention to his daughter. Instead, he started to curse, “Madman, madman, this kid is genius and a madman. There’s only a fine line between them.”

Anyone who knew about it thought that Ryan was crazy.

But he had a super investment system, so he could see everything clearly.

The prize money for the lottery ticket he bought was a small amount.

2 dollars meant 10 if he won.

It was five times the profit.

In fact, the incident of winning the lottery with only one string of number had happened before

But of course, the prize money was not that big.

It happened to a lottery fan in eastern China.

He bought 15,000 lottery tickets of the same number with 30,000 yuan.

In the end, each of the 15,000 lottery tickets won 20 yuan.

That operation won that lottery fan a total of 3 million yuan.

Ryan had heard of such a thing in his previous life.

But this was America, and no one had ever done something like that before.

If it wasn’t for the super investment system, Ryan wouldn’t dare to start that operation.

Of course, there were also lottery stations that had lottery tickets with a prize of 100 dollars, or even more.

But investing 6 million dollars into those types of lottery tickets would leave a huge impact on the entire gambling industry.

In Ryan’s opinion, it meant more to earn less.

To him, one had to earn money in a dignified manner.

So that happened.

“Don’t say anything, just sit and wait for the lottery draws to start.”

The host’s hands trembled as he said, “Mr. Ryan, it seems like the lottery drawing for the tickets you bought will start in an hour.”
