keeping you're Winning Lottery Afloat

I am not sure if some of you remember but I was one of the winners of the Lottery Jackpot Last year. Unfortunately, i can't tell you since it's too confidential for as we agreed not to tell which game we have played in the PCSO LOTTO. After we won, we decided to spend a few thousand pesos in buying stuff for our house. luckily, we realized that we could be in trouble if the neighbors found out about it. so, we kept a low profile for like six months, we decided to start a business. of course, we made it look liked we loan money and spend on a business. Eventually, we secretly paid for the Loan as we move forth of our business. months after that i resign on my job but got busy with the new branches. here's how you should make sure that NO one will know you're a winner. * Don't brag or show emotion that you're happy or something* * Don't wear expensive or noticeable clothing, wear the usual* * make sure you got every thing that can protect you're ticket* * ride on jeepney instead of taxi* * as mentioned in the news, deposit it immediately and withdraw a few millions in check and reposit it in another bank* * be quiet for months as if nothing happened* So far, we have kept it for a long. we have trusted friends who have actually became rich because not only we gave them money but we oblige them to start a business. we gave half first, when we see that their business is growing, we gave the rest of our promised "balato" unfortunately i don't give to people who have no plans what so ever with their money. Except for one person, we have given some to our close friends and families who promised to keep it a secret.

Wow you were so lucky! Did you pray fervently for it, that's why you won? I guess, you are one of those good people that God sees, so He gave you such luck. How nice of you to remain humble despite having lots of money. I know, God was right when He gave you such wealth. I also dream of winning in the lottery, but i only buy a ticket when i have a number or an occasion to look forward to. So far, i haven't won even for the 4 digits of the lotto. How i wish i could win even 5 digits because we will be needing it for my daughter who will be pursuing medicine after she graduates next year from BS Biology. However, i am praying that she could get a full scholarship from a foundation so i won't be betting on lotto. I hope i could be as lucky as you are! I just hope God will hear my prayers too. Thanks for sharing with us your advise. Keep on being humble!

Just in case you do won, never reveal it at least. i believe god exist and scholarship is better than lottery winning, that might get some attention there.

Well, you are right. Scholarship is as important as winning the lottery. And maybe God deemed it proper for me to have the scholarship because He granted it for our daughter. Our daughter graduated cumlaude from BS Biology at UP last APril. She got a full scholarship from St. Luke's Foundation. Though we still have to pay for her board and lodging and allowance, we are already so grateful to God for it. God is so good indeed! Though, i still wish to win in Lotto.

That is a nice testimony. Well, I think when you won a lottery, it is really necessary to stay humble and low headed. As you mentioned, stay the same so that no one would suspect you because perhaps your life or even your family's life will be in trouble. Good enough that you invested the prize into something and not wasted it for nothing. I will take your advise on what to do. But I hope I win it one time.

Thanks for the BR, my friend. I would take note what you said. And yes, we have the same thoughts. You should share only to those whom you think who have plans to invest what you give and not to those whose intentions are just to waste it.

you just have to be careful giving money to people. if they wasted that then it's such a waste, make sure they know their plans first. don't allow "bayanihan" to fool you into giving so much. people should have responsibility for money and those financially responsible

Wow! Congratulations! That was nice of you sharing your experiences with being one of the lucky few lotto winners. I will follow your advice once it is my turn to win (hehe, if ever. No harm in dreaming). Btw, just 1 question: how did you won, by guessing numbers or by lucky pick?

Thank you but i think you're too late since we have given enough. the jackpot isn't even close to 30 million pesos but we were able to put a real right budget on it. for now, we can manage to keep it that way. remember my advice here, it's not easy to manage when other people starts asking money from you.
