Chapter 111 A Meaningful Prize

Seeing that Julian had at least a hundred lottery tickets in his hand, Annalise was stunned. “Why are there so many? How many things did you buy? Wait, you… This mall is yours?”

“No.” Julian did not want to lie to his wife, but if he admitted it, the following lucky draw would be meaningless. He had brought her here to make her happy. If she knew that the mall was his, how could she be in the mood to participate in the lucky draw? He could only lie first and beg for her forgiveness later.

“Did you exchange all these with purchase receipts, then? What did you buy?” Annalise was shocked. Julian said, “I bought all kinds of daily necessities, rice, oil, pots, and so on. It’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I’ll be handing out some employees benefits.”

Annalise laughed out loud. “If your employees knew those benefits were exchanged for these lottery tickets, they would definitely call you a profiteer behind your back.” “Haha!” Julian also laughed. He gave her more than half of the lottery tickets. “Here, take it.”

Annalise took it and divided another portion for Julian. “I don’t need so much. Let’s go.” Why did she look so eager for this? As expected, the lucky draw event was especially exciting.

Many people participated. There were ten lottery boxes, and almost every box had four to five people in front of it. Nonetheless, the draw happened very fast. From time to time, excited voices could be heard. “Oh, no. I drew the second prize.”

But some people who drew the second prize were so excited that they cried. It was more than 5,500 dollars worth of cosmetics. Even if they didn’t use it themselves, they wouldn’t be able to get as much discount if they bought these big-brand cosmetics second-hand. When the surrounding people saw that someone had won the second prize, they were extremely envious.

Some people even put their palms together and bowed before drawing the lottery. They muttered, “Please bless me, gods and goddesses. I will win the lottery! I will win it!”

Another muttered, “God of Wealth, God of Wealth, save my poor soul. Give me a special prize, and I’ll pray to you every day!”

Annalise was a little excited. It was her turn. She immediately handed the staff a lottery ticket. She had drawn a piece of paper. The note was all pink. It was a sequined card paper, very exquisite and romantic. The note was folded.

Annalise held the note and did not dare to open it. “Open it and see,” Julian said. Annalise was extremely excited. She smiled and teased, “What if I get the special prize? Haha.” For some reason, she wanted to win a car, even when she could easily afford one.

“If we draw the special prize, we’ll drive it home immediately,” Julian said with a smile. He urged her again, “Quickly open it and take a look.” “I’m a little scared. Annalise could not help but laugh.

She was afraid she would get a simple note saying, “Thank you for your participation.” Back in the village, she liked these lucky draw prizes the most. There was always a scratch card inside her favorite pack of snacks. She would often get such notes, and her teachers would always laugh at her.

A middle-aged woman stood beside Annalise. The woman had drawn a fifth prize. It was a Dyson hairdryer. The woman was overjoyed. “On! I hit the jackpot. I’ve won big this time. This prize is amazing. It’s a fifth prize. It’s a hairdryer worth more than 450 yuan.”

She immediately went to collect the prize. After confirming that she had redeemed it, she hurriedly called her relatives and friends to tell them to come over. Daily necessities were always needed at home, but a chance to win the lottery did not happen every day.

Annalise narrowed one eye and opened the note. When she saw a figure that looked like the number two or three, she was a little excited. She immediately opened the note and saw “2nd Prize”.

She was overjoyed. She jumped up and hugged Julian’s neck. “I won. I won. Second prize. Help me take a look, is that right?” Julian looked at Annalise’s happy expression and smiled gently. He took the note from her and said, “Yes, it’s the second prize.” One day, when she was chatting with him, she said she wasn’t so lucky with money. She had never won the lottery and felt quite saddened.

Therefore, he wanted to find a suitable opportunity to organize a lucky draw and surprise her. Today, she confessed to him that she loved him. He was so excited that he immediately thought of holding a lucky draw event. Most customers would be overjoyed as long as they won some prizes for the lucky draw.

However, to increase her probability of winning and to make her happy, he invested a lot today. For this celebration, other than the BMW, he had arranged a total of 1.5 million dollars worth of prizes.

It was equivalent to at least 700 to 800 fifth grand prizes. As for smaller prizes like microwave ovens and rice cookers, there were countless of them. “I’m so excited. Julian, I’m so happy. I’ve never won such a big prize in my life. Let’s go and redeem it.” Annalise excitedly pulled Julian aside to redeem the award.

There were a few types of gold jewelry worth 2,800 dollars. In addition to the gold jewelry, one could also choose a golden tiger worth 2,800 dollars. Annalise picked the golden tiger without hesitation. She sang. This is too cute.” After receiving the prize, she tugged at Julian again. “Let’s go and continue the lucky draw.”

She felt that ever since she met Julian, her luck had improved. She had won such a big prize. She couldn’t wait to draw another one. The next one was a fifth prize, a Dyson hairdryer. She said excitedly.

“I’m way too lucky. I think we can still win many more prizes. We’ll redeem them all at once later. You should draw one, too.”

“Alright.” Julian smiled and drew a card. He was really lucky. He had drawn the first prize, which was 5,500 dollars’ worth of cosmetics. He immediately gave it to Annalise. “Annie, take this.” Annalise laughed at him. “Are you giving it to me because you can’t use it?”

Julian smiled. “If I get the BMW, I’ll give it to you, too. What’s mine is yours.” Annalise lowered her head and smiled. Her cheeks and ears were completely red, but she felt blissful and sweet, and her heart was full of warmth.

She drew the lottery again and quickly opened the note. However, just as she was about to hide it, Julian immediately came over to snatch it. “What is it? Did you get the special prize?” “It’s not.” “Let me see.”

“No, you can’t.” Annalise hid the note behind her back. She silently thought that the boss of this mall was definitely a woman, and a love-struck one at that. “What is it? Let me see.” Julian pulled Annalise’s hand. “No.” Annalise gripped the note tightly.

At this moment, the staff came over and said politely. “All our prizes have to be redeemed. Do open it so we can take a look. Did you get the ninth prize? The ninth prize has a special meaning. Please show us the card.” Annalise had no choice but to hand the note to the staff.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
