I did not win the billion peso Lotto jackpot tonight. Maybe next time. Kasi naman ang dami ng humihingi sa akin ng balato eh hindi pa ako nananalo.
Sgt. Pepper for one wanted my assurance that if I win, I will give him something. My driver too. Of course naman.
Driver L—-“Mam yung mutor ko ha?”
Me—–“Of course”.
Sgt. Pepper —-“Mam, pwede kong matanong, kung ikaw ang manalo ano ang gagawin mo sa pera”.
Me—–“Ipamimigay ko kalahati”.
Sgt. Pepper—-“Mam, kasama ba kami dun?”
Me—–“Aba syempre, kasama kayo, kayo pa eh pamilya tayo”.
Sgt. Pepper—–“Mam, sana kayo ang manalo”.
Me—–“Magpapatayo ako ng hospital para sa mahihirap”.
Sgt. Pepper—-“Yun ang maganda. Mam, sana ikaw na talaga ang manalo”.
Me—–“Lahat kayo bibigyan ko, kahit hindi ko kilala, tig-lilimang piso kayo”.
(laughs)
Driver L—–“Mam, masakit na ang ulo ko sa kaka-pantasya kung ano’ng gagawin ko sa pera. Bibili ako ng limang kotse”.
Me——“Ang dami naman. Eh kahit isang daan pwede kang bumili”.
Yesterday I bought my lotto tickets in Greenhills. I was there for an errand and I suddenly remembered aba makabili nga ng lotto.
There was a line, longer than usual but it took me no more than 20 minutes.
I patiently stood there waiting for my turn. Lucky pick lang naman taya ko.
It was obvious that there were a lot of first time bettors who knew nothing about the lotto. And mukhang mga milyonarya. Ewan kung nakakatawa sila o nakaka-inis.
1. Donya Female #1 (to her yaya)—- “Ya, magkano ang premyo?”
Yaya—-“Nine. Nine melyon, nayyy nayynty melyon mam”.
(Day, hindi nayyyn kundi nine hundred melyon).
2. Donya Female #2—-“Ay, we don’t have a number, how many? Five numbers?”
Maid —–“Mam, lucky peck”.
(Lucky peckpeck)
3. Donya Female #3—–“Which one? 6/59?”
(Naku ale, sobra ng numero, 6/58 lang)
4. Donya Female #4—–“Do we need an ID? Do we need to present an ID?”
(Ano yan senior citizen card?
5. Donya Female #3 (again)—-“How can we choose from 60 numbers?”
(Naku, 58 numbers lang kaya nga 6/58 ang tawag)
6. Donya Female #4 (again)—-“Where do we write the numbers?” Is it one million per number?”
(Ano daw?)
7. Donya Female #4 (again) —-“Barya lang daw. Wala akong dala. Meron kang tig-pipiso?”
