Making 9


    At around nine o’clock the following night, Gilmore sat on the sofa of the hotel room, held the lottery


    ticket in his hand, and watched the live lottery program intently.


    On the TV, the host was announcing the winning numbers, “The first winning numbers for the


    Powerball lottery No. 20200 are 15, 25, 17, 19, 03 and thest winning numbers. are 02, 08!”


    Gilmorepared the seven numbers on his lottery tickets with that on TV before confirming that


    they were exactly the same!


    The prize and number of bets were also announced on TV.


    Gilmore calcted the prize for his bet and 12X y before getting the final amount of 28 million


    dors.


    He could still get about 20 million dors after tax.


    This was definitely a windfall for Gilmore.


    The lottery ticket only cost him a few dors.


    The great wealth came from his supernatural power to foresee the future.


    His supernatural power made it easy for Gilmore to acquire wealth.


    After turning off the TV, Gilmorey down on the sofa and felt totally rxed.


    He was immersed in great joy.


    He felt like he was on cloud nine.


    Who could me him for that? As he was born in a small town and a poor family, winning 20 million


    dors overnight woulde as a shock.


    He did well enough not to go crazy.

    It was a sleepless night.


    With 20 million dors in his pocket, Gilmore decided to take his parents and sister to Oakhaven


    and give them better lives.


    With 20 million dors in his pocket, Gilmore could enter the business world, establish himself, and


    build a business empire…


    With 20 million dors in his pocket, Gilmore would not be despised by scheming bitches like Tiffany


    ever again.


    In other words, poverty was no longer the only option in his life. Many options were now avable to


    him.


    Gilmore was full of ambition and expectations.


    In his mind, he was most grateful to that old man who gave him the elixir.


    Without the elixir, he could neither have supernatural powers nor hit the jackpot. It was a shame


    that he didn’t know where the old man had gone or know his name. Gilmore had made up his mind


    to repay the old man when he met him again.


    Gilmore thought a lot and finally fell asleep in thete hours.


    The next day, Gilmore woke up at nine o’clock in the morning and checked out.


    After an exciting night, he calmed down.


    He had breakfast at a stall and passed by a toy store. After a moment of consideration, he went in


    and bought a panda mask.


    He bought it because it was amon practice for the winners to im their prizes on TV with a


    mask on.


    Wearing a mask would ensure their safety and protect their privacy.


    Gilmore hailed a taxi and went straight to the Lottery Commission in Oakhaven.


    On this day, Gilmore imed the over–20–million–dor prize in a panda mask and appeared on


    television in millions of households in Oakhaven.


    The lucky dog in a panda mask that had won 20 million dors naturally became the subject of


    people’s discussions.


    “Who is this person in a panda mask?”


    “How will he spend the 20–million–dor prize?”


    “With such a big prize in his pocket, does he need to work again? He would surely quit his job since


    the money is enough to sustain the rest of his life!”


    It went on and on.


    Gilmore went through the redemption process of the Lottery Commission, and the prize weist into


    his deposit. On the road, he heard many people talking about him.


    He couldn’t help smiling


    In the past, when Gilmore watched others im prices in masks on TV, he had talked about them


    just like this


    Unexpectedly, he had be the subject of others‘ discussions


    He found such a change of roles quite interesting


    He stuck his hand into his pocket and felt his wallet. In the wallet, there was a bank card with a


    deposit of 20 million dors


    In other words, Gilmore was now an invisible millionaire.


    With 20 million dors in his pocket. Gilmore first thought of buying a house and moving his parents


    to Oakhaven from the countryside. He would also take his younger sister to the big city and let her


    study in a better high school.


    Family mattered the most in Gilmore’s mind


    Now that he was rich, he naturally wanted his family to have better lives.


    Before buying a house, he had to know about properties.


    A person suddenly came to Gilmore’s mind. It was his best friend. Luke Mann.


    His buddy and deskmate was a local frosh Oakhaven. His family business was worth tens of


    millions of dors. Luke could be considered to be from a rich family


    So. Luke knew quite a lot about the newly developed properties in Oakhaven.


    Gilmore took out his phone and called his buddy. Luke.


    The line was soon connected, and the anxious voice of Luke came over. “Gilmore, you finally called


    me. I was about to call you.”


    Gilmore asked wonderingly, “What is it?”


    Two days ago, you kissed Christine after school. That’s sensational. As your buddy, I am worried


    about your safety. Luke said angrily.


    Gilmore listened and realized that the words about how he had kissed Christine had spread among


    the students of Oakhaven University.

    But he was not worried. Instead, he told his friend. “We’ll talk about itter. Right now, I want to buy


    a house. Since you know much about the good properties in Oakhaven,e along and take a look


    around.


    “Buying a house… Gilmore, is this a joke? The housing prices in Oakhaven start at 2.5 thousand


    dors per square meter. Did you hit a jackpot?” Luke said sullenly.


    Gilmoreughed with embarrassment, “I have indeed hit the jackpot.


    Luke fell silent.


    A few secondster, Luke asked hurriedly, “Gilmore, you really hit a jackpot? How much did you


    win?”


    “Not much, just tens of millions of dors.” Gilmore didn’t tell the truth lest his friend would be too


    shocked that he had won 20 million dors.


    “Ten… tens of millions? Holy cow, you call it not much?” Obviously, Luke was still shocked to hear


    the understated amount of Gilmore’s prize.


    “Gilmore, send me your location. I’ming right away.”


    “Okay, I’ll send it via WhatsApp.”


    Gilmore hung up the phone and shared his location with Luke on WhatsApp.


    About ten minutester, a savage white Land Rover stopped abruptly in front of Gilmore with a


    screech.


    The car door opened, and out came a young man with short hair. Wearing sunsses, he looked


    stout in a white shirt, a pair of brown shorts, and a pair of brand sneakers of a, limited edition


    This fatty was kind of stylish.


    At the sight of Gilmore, the fatty came up, pounded Gilmore’s shoulder with his fist, and smiled


    brightly, “That was awesome, bro. In a matter of days, you have be a millionaire. I’m so


    painting the town red with you!”


    That was right. This fatty was none other than Gilmore’s buddy, Luke.
