The lucky day

The games of chance like lotto, sweepstakes,and bingo draw a lot of acceptance and attention from all walks of life, particularly those hoping to win the much-coveted grand prize worth millions of pesos. Who doesn't want to? It could instantly change a person's life for good.In most cases, the doors in heaven are stormed with prayers waiting to be answered.Of course, through winning.

I haven't tried my luck betting on lotto and several other games of chance.But I'm not against it.Many times I joined raffle draws but I haven't won. Aside from the fact that I don't have an itch for it, I rather spend my hard-earned money to something more profitable.

It seemed that I put my own words into my mouth yesterday, Labor Day.A raffle draw was held in consonance with the celebration.

During our lunch, everyone in the group agreed to share the prize if someone will win. The casual conversation among ourselves burst into laughter's as jokes came after the other as we dined at Bigbys. The food was delicious, pampering and satisfying everybody in the group. Food lovers.

The activity area became a sea of people as the emcees announced the winners . You can hear the applause and shouts from the audience that made the afternoon lively. From the minor prizes , the tickets were drawn from five tambeolos, representing the five different groups.

One lucky colleague won a minor prize. A box of clay plant pots.Perhaps, he should start gardening.

It was then reduced to a single big tambeolo for the major prize. Gift certificates, hotel and travel accommodations, , various goods , and some appliances were given out to the winners.

When the last winning raffle number was called, my colleagues even joked to me to spell some magical words.We didn't lose hope. Our efforts paid off. We've won the last major prize.Cold cash.

We must be lucky to win the price from among the hundreds of entries. The day must be our lucky day!
