Winning the lotto jackpot
The fun in thinking about what would happen if our lotto numbers were drawn and we hit the lotto jackpot?
Winning a 6/55 third Prize of P2,000 or a second prize of P150,000 is pretty exciting, but a P50 million jackpot prize is pretty life changing.
But it also caused me to wonder how life would change. For the better, and perhaps, for the worse. Probably, any bad habits we had will seem to get much worse.
When money comes quickly, there is a tendency not to value it. Money that comes in easy will go away easy too.
So savor all the struggles of earning money. Money by itself will not make you happy. But how you earned the money and what you'll do with the money after you earned it can make you happy.
Dear GOD ....
why isn’t God answering my prayer?
I realize that our problem isn’t just a lack of faith, but a lack of patience. We are always in a hurry to win. Some of our biggest blessings will come only through time. Have faith and be patient—and your blessings will come.
Many took part in the annual feast of the Black Nazarene 3 weeks ago to implore God for help in solving money, family or business problems. Some came to ask to be healed of maladies, while some came to pray for a lotto jackpot.
Man buys 'winning lotto ticket' for only P15K
Lured by easy money, a man from Pampanga province bought a "winning lotto ticket" for only P15,000.
Elmer de Guzman, the lotto ticket buyer, said Grace Enriquez approached him asking where she could find a lotto outlet because she has a lotto ticket that won P150,000.
"Tapos inalok ako na bilhin na lang iyong ticket sa halagang P15,000, binigay ko," De Guzman said.
He said he immediately went to a lotto betting station in Angeles City and had the ticket validated. To his dismay, the ticket was confirmed a fake.
De Guzman immediately reported the incident to the Angeles City police, which resulted to the immediate arrest of the suspect.
Police said that they recovered 50 more fake lotto tickets from Enriquez.
Despite the arrest, police failed to recover De Guzman's money from Enriquez. Investigators believe the woman is a part of a bigger group that sells fake lotto tickets.
Henry Abijuella, chief of lottery operations in Angeles City, warned lotto fans in the province against the syndicate.
Abijuela said genuine tickets can only be bought from authorized lotto outlets.
"Kayo na ho mismo iyong tumaya at mag-validate ng inyong tickets. Huwag na po tayong magpaloko pa".
