The Last Embrace 294 Manipulation

She just had dinner with her mother in the canteen, and she also finished downloading six lotto draw videos, including the actual draw footage.

She has been staring at the lotto b.a.l.l.s, the way they rise and fall and many of them failed to reach the opening where the winning numbers will suppose to pop up. Then it happened, one of the b.a.l.l.s shoot up...then another...and the rest follows....completing the 6 winning numbers.

That's kind of mesmerizing how did it happen? It happened so fast!

So, how can she exploit or manipulate those lotto b.a.l.l.s?

Hmm, she can freeze the rest allowing 6 numbers to float...it's easy...but she needs to buy one winning ticket first and gave it to Olivia for safekeeping. And the lotto b.a.l.l.s that contain the same number on Olivia's ticket must be the b.a.l.l.s that need to win.

Then another problem will occur...

The Lotto Chairperson is the one who will choose which attache case is going to be used for the draw that night, each of those attache cases contains the lotto b.a.l.l.s needed for the draw. The problem is, she can't enter the mind of that Chairperson to know exactly what specific attache case she will be picking up for that night.

The only way to ensure Olivia's number will win is to get inside that room where the attache cases were being kept. Then tamper all the lotto b.a.l.l.s somehow, allowing only Olivia's number to come out on that lotto machine, hmm...that would be easy peasy.

Getting inside that room...isn't hard.

Tampering the b.a.l.l.s, manipulating them is a bit blurry as of this moment because she can't use the freezing technique because it's a live draw where millions of people are watching on their television sets.

Freezing the other lotto b.a.l.l.s during the live draw is not feasible!

Freezing the lotto b.a.l.l.s, or tampering those b.a.l.l.s before the live draw is the only way to ensure 100% winnings!

Well, she could go inside that room, freeze the cameras then work on each attache case one by one and manipulate all the b.a.l.l.s...like putting some glue on the b.a.l.l.s bottoms so that they won't move inside the transparent box, and only those b.a.l.l.s that have no glue will shoot up to the top and become the winning numbers. But there is a problem with the glue technique because the Chairperson has to remove all the b.a.l.l.s from the attache case and put it all in the transparent box and the manipulation will be discovered in no time, lol, such an epic fail!

Hahahaha, Jessy laughed aloud alone in her room, amused by her silliness.

She kept watching the video, unfortunately, her mind was no longer cooperating with her, it wasn't suggesting her any solution to her dilemma.

Her two hours break went by quickly.

She reluctantly gets out of the room and went to the clinic to finish the last blood transfusion for the night.

~~~o0o~~~

After the blood transfusion ended, Jessy went back to her room and turn on her lappy to play the lotto videos again, she was getting obsessed with it, trying to think of a perfect idea on how to win the lotto flawlessly?

After a few minutes of watching the videos, she entered the bathroom to have a shower and changed into her pajamas to rest for the night, she left her lappy to continue playing the lotto draw videos.

While she was inside the bathroom taking her shower.

Adam suddenly arrived in her room.

He went to her bed and watched the video playing on the laptop. It's just some lotto draw, he ignored the video and lies down on the bed, he already heard the sound of water in the shower, he waited for Jessy to come out of the bathroom. While waiting, he turns his attention to the video and watches how the lotto was drawn.

"Interesting!" Adam said to himself. If he will go broke one day, he can always buy a lotto ticket and win every draw, that would be abusing his powers, he muses. But that might not happen at all in this lifetime. Because he can always earn money the legit way without resorting to abusing his power and manipulate the result to his advantage.

He continues watching the lotto draw video, amazed how it's easy for the machine to pop up winning numbers effortlessly. But then in every draw, it's seldom that many people can win, most of the time only one, two or three emerged as the winners.

A few minutes later.

Jessy came out of the bathroom already wearing her pajama, she grinned from ear to ear after she spotted her beloved Adam sprawled on her bed like an elephant having nap time.

"Having fun inside the shower?" asked Adam.

Jessy grinned. "This lotto videos here kept me in the shower for a longer time," she said pointing at the videos.

Adam's eyebrows knitted together. "Huh? Why? Are you planning to buy a lotto ticket and wants to win the jackpot?" he asked, a smirk appeared on his lips.

"Yeah, you guess it right! The truth is, it's very difficult to win the lotto jackpot. The only way to win is to sabotage the live draw silently... but until now I still can't think of a better way how to do it without jeopardizing the whole live draw," Jessy smiled wryly.

Adam watched the video again, he was silent for a few minutes, concentrating to find a loophole on the live draw. Now that he sees it, it does look easy at first because he was thinking using his power a few minutes earlier that's why he thought he had the advantage but it's getting harder every second...how to execute the manipulation without interrupting the live draw?

He scratches his jaw in amazement.

Jessy climbs in the bed and looked at him in the eyes. "Do you have any idea how to do it? I will just buy a lotto ticket, then I want my number to win the jackpot, how to do it?"

They stared into each other's eyes, ideas were flashing in their minds.

Jessy rises from the bed, picked up a pen and paper from the drawer of her table and began listing the ideas they can come up with.

"Okay, let's write our ideas in the paper so that we can round them all together and chose the best way to beat the lotto system," she said excitedly. She always believes that two heads are better than one.

Adam becomes silent while gazing at his girlfriend's animated face. "Jess, you don't have to waste your time with these videos, just tell me how much money you want I can give you that amount. I do have huge money acc.u.mulated in my bank account through my modeling engagements, I would be happy to share them with you," he said seriously.
