小宝: Brother, I heard from dad that two people in Fujian won the lottery, and one of them got 18 million yuan! That’s amazing!
小刚: Yeah, I heard it on the news too. They both bought a type of lottery called 'Super Lotto,' and they ended up hitting the jackpot.
小宝: Why are they so lucky? I also want 18 million yuan!
小刚: Winning the lottery is very difficult, and only a few people win. Like the woman in Fuzhou this time—she said she bought the ticket ‘随缘,’ treating it as a small act of charity.
小宝: What does ‘随缘’ mean? Does it mean just buying randomly?
小刚: Yes, it means not caring too much about winning, just having a ‘let’s try it’ mindset. There was also a man in Quanzhou who won. He said the win was just a small surprise in life, and he’ll continue to work hard as usual.
小宝: Oh, so are they both lucky and hardworking?
小刚: You could say that. Winning does rely on luck, but living a good life still depends on one’s own efforts. You know what? They also said the lottery money would be used to build gyms and sports fields, which will benefit everyone!
小宝: So buying lottery tickets can also help others! But, brother, I still want to become amazing through my own efforts, not just rely on luck!
小刚: Haha, well said! Achieving success through your own efforts is much more rewarding than simply relying on luck. Let’s work hard together!
