Construction Worker Won 1.2 Million Pesos from Lottery But After 3 Months, Money Disappeared in an Instant
Carrying on with the life of a construction worker is hard. It expects you to be to a great degree committed and dedicated, regardless of the possibility that the climate conditions are not that good to you. As we as a whole know, their occupation includes them being exposed to natural elements, for example, the sun or rain. In this way, Jack Morales was all smile when he won PHP 1.2 million in a lottery. As indicated by GMA News Online, he is a construction worker from Samar who just earns PHP 250 a day.
When he won the said measure of cash, he assigned it
for the following: PHP 200,000 for his kid’s education, PHP 800,000 for his
construction business, PHP 200,000 for his own reserve funds, and PHP 10,000
for his new house.
Be that as it may, his cash gradually exhausted
until the point that he returned to his first situation before – when he was
still scraping to support his family. Why would that be? His story was featured in “Kapuso Mo, Jessica
Soho’s” episode dated October 15, 2017. A video clip of it was uploaded on the
official YouTube channel of GMA Public Affairs, where it has currently gained
235,077 views and 686 likes as of this writing. (https://youtu.be/H_jILsnmo5Q)
The construction worker was interviewed by Jessica
Soho, wherein it was revealed that Morales grew up in a family that depends on
fishing for livelihood. According to him, not one of his four siblings were
able to study and attain education. “Yung tatay ko, nagpapalay. Tapos ‘yung nanay ko
naman, naglalabada. Nag-aaral pa lang ako ng elementary, gusto kong makaahon sa
kahirapan,” Morales shared.
When the typhoon “Yolanda” devastated Samar, it
opened up a new venture to Morales. He became a construction worker after being
a fisherman. During that time, lots of housing projects were being commissioned
for the victims of the typhoon. Eventually, he started a new life.
One day, he thought of joining the lottery. He
shared, “Sa tatlong tinaya ko po, 65, pare-pareho po ‘yung numero… lahat ng
hirap ko, nabawi ko rin.” The construction worker revealed that he was not
wise in spending his cash prize. After three months, the PHP 1.2 million he won
on the lottery disappeared in an instant.
