Early in the morning on May 19, Li Yincheng took the excuse to go to the provincial capital to buy college entrance examination materials and went out to the train station. The small county town he is in has not yet opened to the provincial capital, so it takes three hours to take the train. Get on the bus at 7 o'clock, and it was already past ten o'clock when he arrived at the provincial capital. After leaving the railway station, Li Yincheng took a taxi and went straight to Zhongnan University. Hu Yang got here this year. Li Yincheng often came here to play with Hu Yang and was very familiar with this place. The taxi parked at the entrance of the city village at the back door of Zhongnan University. Li Yincheng walked a few steps, and the store was indeed in an old place.

Walking through the dirty streets of the village in the city, Li Yincheng walked into the store. The billboard at the door reads "Warm congratulations on the opening of the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals lottery. Sales date: May 18, 2002 - May 28, 2002". The following introduces the gameplay of the quarterfinals lottery. The Sports Lottery Center took out 10 million football lottery adjustment fund and injected it into the prize pool. Those who guessed the list of all quarterfinals of this World Cup won the first prize. The first prize prize was 65% of the total sales. If multiple lottery players won the prize, they would equally divide the prize pool.

When asked the boss, he asked for a quarterfinals of color list like the college entrance examination answer sheet. Li Yincheng took the pencil and started to choose, "Brazil, Germany, Turkey, South Korea, Spain, Senegal, the United States, England." In order to avoid being too eye-catching, Li Yincheng randomly selected four bets, and after filling in the form, he handed the order to the boss, "Twice", the boss glanced at him, "Ye, South Korea, Senegal, you choose all the money, you'll burn it!" Li Yincheng smiled and said silently, muttering in his heart, paralyzing, guaranteeing that you will regret it when you get the lottery.

After exiting the store, Li Yincheng stopped a taxi at the door and headed straight to the stadium. He remembered that there was also a football lottery store there;

When I arrived at the stadium, I got off the bus and did not go directly to find a lottery shop, but found a place to have a meal first. After the meal, I found a football lottery shop. As soon as I entered, I heard several old lottery players communicating with the quarterfinals here.

"The first one is definitely going to choose France, Serie A scorer Trezege, Premier League scorer Henry, Ligue 1 scorer Cice, plus Zidane, this attack power is definitely the first in this class. This class depends on France and Argentina competing for the championship, and they didn't run for the quarterfinals!"

"I have to add Italy. Buffon, Nesta, Cannavaro and Maldini, the world's number one defense line, Vieri and Piero have strong attack power in the frontcourt, and the group group, Croatian team Suk has no decent people after getting old. Mexico and Ecuador easily won. After qualifying for the first place in the group, it is probably possible to meet South Korea, which is a big cheaper one."

"How can South Korea qualify in the group? I think it's going to meet the US team! But it's okay to win the US. This is not basketball."

"You don't understand this. In previous World Cups, have you seen several hosting teams not qualify? Zheng Mengzhun will definitely handle the referee and report it to South Korea for qualifying!"

"Then aren't you afraid that Italy will be hacked by the referee when it comes to South Korea?"

"Who doesn't know the strength of South Korea, it's shameless to be able to qualify in the group! If you win, Italy will be able to report to the quarterfinals and you won't be scolded to death by fans all over the world? South Korea needs some shame!" The store manager also joined the discussion.

After taking the order, he chose four bets casually, and then selected the list of the quarterfinals in history on the fifth bet, and handed the order to the boss, "This one beats twenty times."

After the boss finished the ticket, he saw, "Hey, why did you choose Korea? Didn't you tell me clearly? South Korea is only in the top 16!"

Li Yincheng smiled and said, "Boss, I think South Korea is really shameless!"

After taking the lottery, I carefully put it in my wallet, pushed the door open and walked out; the people in the store continued to discuss who would enter the quarterfinals in a month.

"I think Portugal can be upset. Apart from Figo, I am quite optimistic about Viana. This kid has awesome football players and will definitely become a great player in the future!"

"Argentina will definitely win the championship this time. Bati won the golden boots. If you don't believe in betting on a bag of China!"

"I've bet, this Golden Boot is definitely Henry's!"

The provincial capital in 2002 was really not attractive to Li Yincheng, who had experienced the prosperous urban life after more than ten years. So after buying the lottery, he casually found a bookstore to get two college entrance examination materials to deal with his home, so he went directly to the train station.

On the train, Li Yincheng touched his wallet with the lottery and smiled softly. In his previous life, he was also obsessed with football lottery for a while, from the World Cup to his sophomore year, buying a few bets from time to time; this World Cup took out twenty yuan to sell ten quarter-finals, France, Argentina, Germany, Brazil, and other teams, and then interspersed with Portugal, Sweden, England and other teams. One of the bets was also considered to be held in Asia and chose the Japanese team. Unfortunately, the group stage had lost its meaning before the group stage ended. After all the quarter-finals came out, the Sports Lottery Center found that there was no whole country.

Li Yincheng remembers this incident clearly until more than ten years later. Firstly, he was a fan and was deeply impressed by this World Cup; secondly, he had experience in buying lottery tickets and knew that no one in the country would win the prize, and he might win the grand prize; thirdly, the football lottery was relatively guaranteed because the result was not controlled by the Football Lottery Center. Therefore, Li Yincheng thought of this method as soon as he planned a fortune after rebirth. If it were changed to a Welfare Lottery, even if Li Yincheng remembered the original number, he would not dare to suppress all the opportunities.

After getting home, I opened my wallet and took out the lottery tickets, and first hid them in the junior high school algebra books in the corner of the bookshelf. I just sat down and worried that my family would lend the algebra books to the relatives who were in junior high school to prepare for homework. I quickly took them out and put them in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, but I was afraid that my classmates would come to their house to play and take away the books. After changing to three or four places, Li Yincheng finally hid the lottery tickets until he attended the party party ceremony of the school as a class cadre in his second year of high school. In the "Communist Manifesto" issued at the meeting, "I don't believe it anymore. Someone will read this book." Li Yincheng silently read it.

When he woke up the next morning, the first thing he did was to check whether the lottery tickets were still there. Seeing that the two lottery tickets in the "Communist Manifesto" were still intact, Li Yincheng felt relieved to wash up and go out to school.

After arriving at school, as long as he remembered the scene of winning prizes after the World Cup, Li Yincheng couldn't help but smile proudly, especially when he imagined the owners of the two lottery shops who saw the list of the quarterfinals released, he mixed with surprise and regret. Xu Wenfeng next to him kept asking him if he had encountered anything good.

"Yeah, a great thing. I dreamed yesterday that you and Wang Jing were slapped in confession. Today I still want to laugh when I think about it." Hearing this, Xu Wenfeng quickly covered Li Yincheng's mouth, swept around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention.
