I found another interesting story about a lotto winner who won almost 20 million pesos, and just gave away his lotto winnings.
Maybe this lucky old man was thinking, he would just set aside a small portion of his winnings and anytime now his going to die anyway.
what if he distribute the money to his relatives and neighbors, and that will make them all happy?

HANOI – A poverty-stricken 97-year-old man in Vietnam won up to $400,000(20 million pesos) in a lottery, sparking a frenzy among relatives eager to get a piece of his new-found wealth.
A neighbor in southern Ho Chi Minh City and local officials had to step in to stop the elderly man from giving away the windfall to people who had swarmed to his home.
Nguyen Van Het bagged the prize after spending 100,000 dong (just over $5) on lottery tickets from "lucky money" he received ahead of the Lunar New Year.
Small packets of "lucky money" are a traditional Tet gift.
Thanh Nien reported Het's winnings at 7.6 billion dong, or $400,000, a massive sum in a country where the annual per capita income is about $1,000.
The official, who declined to be named, said local authorities had to intervene and restore order around the man's home because so many relatives or people claiming to be relatives had turned up asking for money.
Het and his sick wife had been receiving special financial support from authorities because they lived below the poverty line..
By the way this old man used a lucky money to bet the lotto. How about asking a gift from a friend, instead of a material gift, how about a lucky money?
