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.”
Annaliseughed 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 alsoughed. 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. Nheless, 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
dors 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 butugh.
She was afraid she would get a simple note saying, “Thank you for your participation.” Back in the
vige, 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 alwaysugh 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 rtives and friends to tell them toe 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 dors 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 dors. In addition to the gold jewelry, one could
also choose a golden tiger worth 2,800 dors. 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.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
“I’m way too lucky. I think we can still win many more prizes. We’ll redeem them all at onceter. 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 dors’ 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 werepletely 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.
