Iam so happy because this morning i got "arisan".The nominal is not much,only 600 thousand rupiah.But this is very helpful because myhusband's salary was cut 25% from his company because of the impact of covid 19.
By the way "arisan" is collecting money from several members who participated in "arisan" and the nominal amount was mutually agreed.The name of each member is written on a small piece of paper and rolled into an empty bottle.And the bottle is shaken and shaken and then stop and take out only one small roll of paper by opening the bottle cap by moving the bottle slowly.
Then my name came out,Thanks god.I will use the money to pay for my son's school fee.

No it's not really a game but more of social gathering group where mothers hang out together in a place, the difference is each member should deposit money to the group treasurer in a fixed schedule ( for example once a week,once per two weeks, or any schedule that agreed by the group members ) and after a specific time ( mostly once a month ) they will hang out together in a place where the main event is to give back the money gathered to one of the member chosen by method explained by @Ghandra
mothers and women for every level of wealth in my country have group like this ( for super rich or crazy rich women they will not give back the money but give very expensive stuff such as jewelry, vacation to overseas, very expensive bags and clothes, or another very expensive stuff. And of course the amount they deposit to the treasurer also fantastic )
