Whew! I was so down last Tuesday (October 8, 2013), I only have Php170 inside my wallet and I am bound to go home. After reaching the LRT Avenida Station, I remembered that I have raffle tickets from the Casino Filipino, Ronquillo Branch so I decided to stay for while. At exactly 7:45 p.m. I went to the 3rd Floor of the Ronquillo Arcade where the raffle was being held.
I have been praying all along. At 8:00 p.m. the first name was called, a senior citizen went to the stage and wheeled-in a roulette, he won a Php10,000 worth of pre-bet coupons. I knew all along that only 3 lucky patrons will be called so I continued to hum my request, "Please Lord, please... call my name..." and the second name was uttered. My name was called!
I again prayed that I get Php100,000 worth of pre-bet coupons I adjusted the arrow and pointed it to ten times (10 x Php10,000) wishing that I could get the highest prize. Unfortunately, God did not grant my request. I only got Php90,000! Yeheey! Thank you Lord.
A new dilemma arose, I am not good at gambling and I might lose all the 9 pre-bet coupons without winning any of them. Luckily, a man offered me to buy all my coupons at 40% cost. I was now caught between GOOD and BETTER (lol). I called my wife for a decision and suggestion but she came in late. I have sold all 8 coupons for Php32,000 and retain only 1 so that I could play thinking that I would win it at a cost. Sadly, I lost that bet after I played it. I told you, I am not good at gambling. My wife told me that I should have sold it all. What a missed opportunity.
Anyway, I went home Php32000 richer and was able to immediately pay my bills. I would like to thank Casino Filipino for the opportunity and of course my friend up there for making impossible thing POSSIBLE!
