Just recently,mother in law won in sweepstakes for almost eleven thousand or (11,000.00) $250 plus as she used to bet a lot especially when she has a money. Her winning no is 929 in suertres lotto.Of course we were so happy because Mama gave us a "balato" (money given when someone wins). The truth is I don't bet at anything especially sweepstakes but because Mama always wins,I also started now and hooked of betting but only when I have a money until now I wasn't able to win.

As long as you don't bet more than you can afford it can be a bit of fun. There's always a chance of getting something back. My family had a really nice win at the horse races last Saturday, and everybody was really happy.

Right don't bet more than you can win. I understand that there is a lot of betting on horses where you are. Do you go and see the races live?

@jaboUK How interesting to learn you work on the turnstiles and your husband was a jockey. Where is the racehorse capital of the world, I only know the places in the US. Thanks in advance.

@Marcyaz I actually have a part time job on the turnstiles at the races, but my family does go to the races a lot. My husband used to be a jockey, and I used to work in racing stables too. We live in the racehorse capital of the world, where there are 2,500 horses.

@Marcyaz so you also play it . That's good because when you always do it becomes gambling already like i told my mother .

@SIMPLYD Mother in law is quite old and betting in a suertres lotto is one of his leisure time and I bet your mother too.They seem to enjoy doing it specially when they won.Whenever Mama has a money she also bet three times a day sometimes in a big amount.

Sometimes I win something small, but I usually don't win anything. I really only play when it's a free sweepstakes. I don't want to pay money to enter a sweepstake because there's no guarantee that I'll win anything.

@Tita417 You know what I tried it too bet her numbers and at that time she won on the ramble while I wasn't because I did not bet on the ramble,only the target.I was envious that time hehe,though,I don't win she never forget to give me a balato.Imagine you will have a money in your hand without doing something to earn it.

@Tita417 Oh yes,I always expect the balato because I know she'll give me.Mama is so kind and generous.There was a last time she won a 20k and her balato to me is 3k,imagine that,very big,right?Up to now,I always wonder why Mama always win and I don't. . I have also did that,I dream before a numbers and even told it to my husband at dawn just not to forget the numbers but when I bet those numbers,still I don't win.I am not just really lucky at all.

@Marcyaz Maybe in your place no one enter in a sweepstakes that's why you don't know anyone while here in my place,I often heard everyone who won big amounts that's why most of the people here got hooked to sweepstakes.

LOL! You seem to be on the roll as far as luck is concern and I am happy for you. I am not really a fan of the sweepstakes as the chances of striking is very slim, so you would not find me buying it. The times that I participated are more social like when there's a big jackpot draw and working colleagues would pool to buy some. I wouldn't say that we did not win since consolation is still a win but quite inconsolable if you know what I mean. Anyway, I wish you luck but don't be tempted.

Hi, @artemeis I like your name.Anyway,Thank you,However,I have tempted already as I did entering in sweepstakes sometimes,It is really tempting the fact that mother in law had won many times with such a big amount.I know everyone would still hoping for a luck like this though what you said is right,the chances of winning is very slim but them many are hooked to this.

@LadyDuck I also thought to stop but at the same encourage when my mother in law often won and not really small but big amount huh,I am thinking I bet only for a 10 peso and I won up to $150,so big,.The winning amount is what really attracting me though the winning possibility is a little low.
