This was on the news this week on our local television. A man named Vito Halasan was won a 7M canadian dollars in a draw. He is already on late 50's and is currently working as a janitor and buy lottery tickets for the hope to have a better life. I dont think that this man is lucky but i consider him blessed. They say that gambling isnt the answer to poverty but this man becomes an exception knowing he deserved to won and i know its really for him.

“I buy lottery tickets so I can dream. I dream of being able to take care of my kids and make their future better. Now we’ll be able to buy a nice house for my children and grandchildren,” -  Vito Halasan

In every rule, there is an exception but we also should not compare his life to us. The universe wants to make him win because of some particular reasons. If you devote your money and time with gambling, you will end up with a life completely opposite to him. Hardwork and dedication is really the key.

Here's the link for complete article:
https://news.mb.com.ph/2019/05/29/filipino-janitor-wins-7-million-jackpot-in-canadian-lottery/

He really did make a headline here in the Philippines, if you convert it to pesos that's over 350 million, he can now retire and enjoy his life since he is now on his 50, he can plan a better life for his children and grandchildren I think he is a good guy, he will definitely going to take care of that winnings.

It's really an exceptional case! I am glad that the person will be able to make a happy life after so many years of struggle and sacrifices! But let me also give you some food for thought.

Watch the video below,

Do you think it is laws of attraction that worked for him?

For me buying a lottery ticket has always been like buying a ticket to a dream. In the time that passes from when I buy the ticket to the winner, numbers are announced, I can dream myself away on nice vacations and be living in dreams houses.
Sometimes I even wait a few days to check the numbers on my lottery cupon, for I know that the dream will most likely end when I check my coupon.

I feel so touched knowing that the winner is janitor, he deserves the prize. Maybe we will feel sorry if the winner was already in good status or have a better  life. Why is that whenever a poor guy wins the jackpot shows on the news? I never heard somebody who won that is already a millionaire. I am just curios , anyways good blessing out there.

One hell of a lucky guy to win that jackpot.

I think he really deserves it since he really dreamt about of the future of his children and grandchildren.
I rarely buy lottery tickets since i don't have that much luck in guessing numbers or even if i have my own number it still fails. lol

I once tried buying a lottery ticket thinking maybe I will win, after I find out I didn't. I already give up.

By then I already see that I'm far more likely to be strucked by lightning twice in my lifetime than winning a lottery.  6 digits out of 46 numbers, how am i able to win when I haven't even bought a ticket successively in my life.

But congrats to that fellow Filipino. Being a janitor abroad is never  easy. You deserve it.

One thing I've never understood about North American lotteries- why the heck is the identity of winners revealed? Now this guy is gonna be pestered by PMs from acquaintances in the Philippines as well as people he know there in Canada. Kinda makes it harder to keep a low profile not to mention everyone's expecting and going to pressure you to "move up".


It's close to impossible to win with just one ticket. Don't believe people who have a "pet" combination. That don't make it more likely they'll win. It sure does make them feel better (and important for us others betting, they won't hold up the ticket lane since they already know what numbers they'll put in).

I'm glad you've made the right conclusions from this story. Indeed devoting all your money and time to gambling will hardly make you a millionaire. What you should do for earning more money is to study constantly and work hard, in the first place. And you can gamble occasionally at your pleasure, and you may win big in case of a big luck, as it happened to this guy, Vito Halasan. I'm so glad for him!

Don't be fooled and think that just because you are a poor person and a hard worker you should deserve to win a lottery. There are literally tens of thousands of people that are in the exact situation as yours maybe even worse. Actually I think almost everyone that plays at lotteries are in a bad situation financially because that's the kind of persons that lotteries are targeting as their players. I agree that there are certain factors that could improve your chances at winning the lottery, like law of attraction but at the end its still all about luck.

He deserves to win, he is a good man with a good heart a real family man, now he can rest from his old job and start fulfilling his dream and that of his family, if he will take the money to the Philippines he can enjoy life to the fullest because of that amount to over 400 million in pesos very much enough even for his grandchildren.

Aside from that news about the lottery in Canada wherein one from PH got the winnings, the local lottery, also in PH, established a new millionaire in the recent jackpot draw.

Game of luck. And these guys really truly a blessed.

Just take note that, don't take that as a reason to be a lottery addict. These winners know that winning a lottery is a game of luck. They just hit it.

Definitly an awesome story!
I read a statistic a while back that about 60% of lotto millionairs lose all of their money during the first two years after their jackpot. Researchers say, that those people cant deal with so much money, buy big houses, cars etc. which they cant handle and affort in the long run.

But I dont think this will happen to that guy cause he already talked about giving the money to his children and grandchildren :)

I agree with you. If he was made millionaire at this point of his life, there must be a good reason for that. It's just a supposition, but if his hardwork and dedication weren't rewarded during his 50 years of life, he was rewarded now through this very welcome prize.
That is why we shouldn't blame gambling: because it's an instrument of God like all the other things on the universe.

You usually dont hear a janitor winning the lottery but of automotive workers or the already well off people winning their tickets to riches.
It is nice to see them winning these jackpot prizes for a change.
I just wonder how much in taxes he would need to pay to collect his winnings. :-\
The government always like to take their cut from the winners. :-[

Buying the lottery is only a exception because as he was says buying lottery similar such as buying dreams and there was less than 1% to won it and he extremely lucky but i was wondering whether he really will spend those money for his family life or not because i was remember some of article i had read there are some of people who won the lottery but they life ended does not good

Purchasing lottery tickets doesn't involve hardwork and dedication but the money do need to buy those tickets does.Its just really coincidence that he do won
that lottery and theres no such thing that has been favored by the entire universe for him to win because of his life status.Anyone can win even the rich ones
because we cant say positive things to him if he didn't win and do still continue to spent out money to buy lottery tickets but the good thing here
is that his wishes do came true.

I'm glad the guy won in the situation he was in, but it's always good to remember such circumstances like this lottery win are exceptionally rare, and most people end up losing money through gambling, though that does not mean you shouldn't gamble. It's perfectly fine to gamble if you're using money you can afford to lose, but the problem is when people start gambling money that should be used on necessities and shouldn't be spent on something like gambling. This still serves as an example of what happens in the rarest circumstances though.

Congratulations to this guy, I may not be able to win the lottery with that kind of amount but I'm happy to see him win it because he's deserving.

Consider this man lucky because lottery is a game of luck and he don't have any game plans but he just continued on buying lottery tickets thinking that someday he'll win and he did.

But we appreciate that because he can change his life by buying lottery tickets with hopes for the family he loves, indeed it is a coincidence and luck for him and how meaningful the victory is for him and the situation will be different from what happens to someone who is rich in money, huh we here are better off taking positivity into their beliefs, this is a very good story because everyone has hope to always live in any situation if they can still enjoy it.

Most local lotteries are tax free but this Filipino citizen do won up the prize on other country then most likely it would be charge up some tax which is on 12% as far as I know in Philippines.

I cant deny that this is an inspiring story for those people who do have low-paying jobs or do migrate on other country just to have their dreams fulfilled
and now he do able to hit the jackpot and that money converted to Philippine peso is already a life changing opportunity.The winner might go home to his
country and theres no need for him to work abroad to raise up his family.The jackpot alone would already be sufficient on sustaining their lifetime if they do
manage it well.

I think its not  . I once heard a local lottery winner and he only get 80 percent of his prize due to tax and other charges   . A lottery game has a big prize so its also normal that a tax is also big plus there are rules on a lotto station that they can get some percent from the winniner if the ticket is bought on their station  .  The guy rocks , he already achieve his dreams instantly   . Hopping the same thing can happen to me as im also addicted on lottery but until now my luck still wont show  .

He should take care of that and don’t live like one day millionaire. Its too risky for him since it is being televised and many syndicate knows that he won big money, its better if he will put it on a safe place and spend small money only so no one can het that money away from him easily.

Yep its a great but we understand this can happen with the one from millions so we cant just gamble to be the next one we can do it just for fun but make it target for the whole life and believe i will win one day sooner or later, no.

That is so great. People had their luck and their lives might be changed by it. I just hope this man would be able to control his self since the problem with people that became rich so quickly can't control their way of spending money. I don't know why is that but most of the people that won like that is said to have a curse. Is that true in your countries?

That kind of luck is one in a million.
The story is very inspiring but that luck is not for everybody.
I wonder how much he spent in the lotteries before he got the jackpot prize.
But you can't win if you don't put your bet, right?


He said that he will stay on his job but less hours. I believe he knows what he needs to do even if he is holding that amount of money.

A wise man would make something out of that money which can help his children and grand children in the future permanently like engaging into business. $7M is a huge money. If he really cares about them, he should make the money multiply in a long term. Two possibilities would be stay in Canada of put a business in the Philippines where that would be a bigger value. Continuing as a janitor with that age is risky though.

This is nice news ,

He was lucky lol. Not blessed. And Gambling is NOT the answer to poverty. This guy just got lucky. Not everyone is lucky enough. Those who suffer from poverty, but keeps on gambling, they will lose everything they have. Lets just say, all those who are suffering from poverty entered a gambling lottery by buying large number of tickets. Only one of them will win the lottery. That means, just this one guy was able to go out of his poverty, while rest of them are now suffering more.

There's a lot of great stories out there that are untold. I am surprised that he agreed to publish his name because if you are a lotto winner in the Philippines, first thing that they will tell you is "do not tell anyone" while this guy's name is all over the news complete his photo and story. Its a blessing yes, but sometimes its also a curse because of your family security.

In gambling you can only become millionaire if you win in lottery.

But what is the chances? Definitely slim and this particular janitor who won is one lucky guy.

You cant assume to also hit the jackpot just because you just tried to buy a ticket. In thousands of people who gamble in lottery, only one (or lets say 2 or 3 if someone has the same combination as you) person who will become lucky. I think he is destined to be a millionaire so he was living his dream now.

I agree.I also expect that his real name won't be revealed for the sake of his family's security.Maybe it's his own choice.Gambling may realize our dreams to be possible but i think his story should not inspire us to keep on gambling because if we do,we will surely be opposite from him.What happened to him was just a blessing and not totally luck in gambling.

Well, there are stories about this and I was surprised too. Just imagine the impact of not having enough money to having a lot of money in an instant, that is so overwhelming. There are a lot of things you might do and want to do that you can't do in the past. Some stories said that most of the people who won in gambling in our place invested it in infrastructure but most of them are getting scammed too. Also, don't forget the people that might threaten him since everyone knows his face and maybe his job. And Filipinos are so kind, we are so kind and so hospitable. When someone had this kind of money, they will throw a celebration, people will come looking for him that needs money or help and people will also ask for money give away or "balato" since he won a lot of money. Also, CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you can use that money to build your future for the greater good.

I just worried about his security now because he revealed his self everywhere in social media. We know there are too many greedy people out there and want easy money because he and his family now are too much care on this now. Well, however congrats to that man he is very lucky as well, in gods will he won that huge amount because he is only a janitor and give the chance to live with good wealth and health as well.

I could say that it's his destiny to be a millionaire. Even if you are a dedicated and a hardworking person but luck is not on his side then he may end up just like anybody of us who still longing for the fortune that lottery brings. I think that he bought lottery tickets for so many years and have spent already a large amount of money before winning that one. Congrats to him and may he make good use of that money. 

Oh wow he is very lucky 7M is huge money for their age, life is also a gambling nobody can tells about the wheel of fortune being a gamble.

He is sure a lucky guy, I know his a kind hearted man that’s why he won, working as a janitor in your 50s is already hard good thing he will not be doing that anymore after his winning. I just hope everything will be well for them and spend his winning wisely.

It is stories like this that make me glad to see everyday people are able to live a life of wealth
It makes it even more special because he mentions his family and he will not waste all of his winnings on partying.
Good things sometimes happen to good people even in gambling so glad for him

Yes, there's also a tax on his winnings. He can't totally get those prize without some tax, it's also quite huge for $7,000,000 million.
But for me, it's ok even there is 12% tax for that $7m, he still a winner. I want to know if there is still tax or he will get totally the prize? Since he won in Canada.

That is so nice. Congratulations, though I am sure he will not be able to read this.

Filipinos are not new to lotteries. In our country PCSO is one of the popular names when you say lottery. A lot of people stand in line and pay the numbers they want to bet on. The funny thing here is that they usually bet numbers with superstition. For example, they dreamt about their father or mother that died, they will put their mother or father's birthday there. Superstitious belief is not new to us, it is in our culture and even in lotteries, they apply things like that.

Amen!
A story like this that motivates me to keep press the roll button and spend it to buy lottery tickets on freebitco.in
However, be very careful with success stories since not all of those can be verified, and prone to the shilling/lie.

That's law of attraction in works, he kept dreaming about winning a lottery and eventually he won. Your thoughts really does make a difference!

That's a life changing for him, congrats to that man for winning.
Let's just say he is lucky and blessed at the same time,  but basing on the probability, only a few percentage of bettors have a chance to win, and therefore in overall, the lottery operators are still the winner.

This type of gambling is only good if you spend money that means nothing to you, like a very small amount.
He is just one of the millions who are hoping to win, and his time just finally arrive but I'm not inspired by this as I don't trust my luck alone in gambling.

He is a lucky man. He kept dreaming every day, he has a hope to have a better life, and he still keeps his dream, and the luck comes to him and makes all his dream come true. It needs a strong mind that can keep those dream in our deepest mind and even in our subconscious so the universe will work for us and give the good result to us.

But from that story, we don't know how much he spent his money to buy the lottery, and if he only buys one ticket, then he is a very lucky person. I think we can learn from that lesson, the winner in gambling could be anyone, the winner is not always a rich person, but a janitor can be the winner too. But that doesn't have to make us think that we need to gamble to be that person because we need the luck to win.

One has to either verify the facts or use their own brains that if they have won it why will I win it or how can I win it as only one out of thousands could make that on their side and rest end up losing their money . So be ready either to lose money or just to enjoy the process .

He's blessed and was given a chance to fulfill his dreams for his family, he can now enjoy those winnings and live a life with a good future ahead. There's always a saying, people have different fate as you will find your own destiny, he got his opportunities as luck brings him to win the lottery.

Another inspiring story of a certain individual who changes his life out of luck.

This is an incredible story and it’s the power of affirmations that have worked in his case, he manifested his desire to win a lottery and he ultimately did win it. Gamblers often surround themselves with negative thoughts that they’ll loose but they’ll yet take a bet and try their luck, it is this kind of negative thoughts which stop them from winning. I do hope reading this story all gamblers will manifest positive thoughts, and keep on manifesting them till they achieve their goals.

You know, i think these type of news arent too good. It seems to me that they are only useful to lure people in to gamble. It's totally ok to gamble for fun but when you think you will be the next millionaire by gambling it can become quite dangerous.

We are talking about that victory which happened at some corner which shows that why it is not going to happen on everyone's life.So don't dream too much about winning which can make the lottery company to be lot richer.

I agree we shouldn't really take it seriously some of my fellow countryman are spending too much on lottery,
Saving some money just to bet even if it makes them skip a meal for a day so sad that they really into it,
We shouldn't really rely on luck but we should make our own move to be rich.

I feel most happy to know the good news here, the old man is really lucky working as a janitor by protecting the environment is a noble job. It seems like luck is in him cause of that noble work, I think he will beat the assumption of people who hate gambling.

Out of how many people that is buying tickets for lottery, one of our countrymen won that huge amount of money. That is around 5-6 times as much as the past winners of lottery here in the Philippines.

I think he is lucky and at the same time blessed because he won that huge amount of money. Now he can enjoy his life with his family and he can donate into charities he want to donate to. Anyway, this doesn't force me to bet on lottery because I'm always losing in gambling :D.

Remember, when 1 people win  = 10.000.000 people losses
Yes, gambling with multiple odds or lottery winning may be very lucky so it's depend on how far your guts or your "afford to loss" can reach so far ?

You can win but not today.

This is one good thing about lottery and others form of gambling they can make ones a millionaire just in seconds but ones need to apply sense though and letting the reward make the buzz to be out of control. However, with the story about the Janitor posted by the OP I guess gamblers which I believed positive mind also create positive result were right.

it was good luck on target, an old man tried his luck by buying lottery tickets and of course he expected wealth from him. in the end the mimipi he has can be realized, I think this is clear evidence that to win gambling is based on pure luck

Not really surprised, because lottery ticket just based on your "Luck" everyone can be a millionaire from lottery only a few bucks from the ticket if he was very lucky. The hardest things this man gonna find it will be his "Life Style" will change or not. I saw a few people on youtube went they win the lottery and be a millionaire, their life was really bad on psychology & life style.

I think he is a lucky and blessed person. He has nothing to give his kids a better life but he got something to make it happen.
But there is a question had come into my mind, how many time he buys a lottery ticket? If he started to buy when he is at 20 years old, probably it sums up into millions also. If we want to win millions, we need to spend millions also (IMO).

 ;D sure they are, possibly they need more clients to their platform in order to make more profit. But the truth of the whole thing is; never to attracted to what your mind is not attracted to. Many had dreams and they came to pass, but that will be different dreams from different individuals.

For what reasons that you know it is really for him?there are lots of people whose buying lotto tickets to change their miserable life,those people that even their last money uses to buy ticket,so how come that he deserves more than others?
And I still don’t believe that gambling is the answer for poverty it is not..
Well all I can say is congratulations and hope you can use the money in rightful manners

This is why I do like more on playing lottery instead of casino though lotterty doea not have the high chance rate of winning but still if one is lucky enough then winning lottery would truly be a blessing. It will just take to find a good betting platform for this for example that it shoulf be a licensed company operating lottery.

I know some.good platform but if I can find some better platfoem for lotteries especially a platform to which cryptocurrency is integrated would be much appreciated.

He is lucky and blessed too. Maybe this is the way his own destiny is fulfilled. He should be careful to utilize the money very well because they say money got from gambling don't last long.

And talking about his winning, he might be the one out of 1000 to play and win big.

This is really huge amount of money and I think God has been thinking of blessing this man and the blessing has to come this way. It is truth that he has to take the risked of participating in the draw and thing turn to his favor. He should be able to build a new type of life from what he was used to be.

Lottery tickets it is like take bad lucky from thousand people and giver their money to one lucky winner. You do not have any fun or mental challenges. It is just something random. Casinos is way more fun and usually will have to think in your next move. Specially if you like play cards like me

god for him. why did they have to publish his name? Now everyone knew him to have gotten rich instantly and will soon be flocked by fellows who only want some of his winnings. damn, none of his relatives in the philippines even knew he works as janitor.

i have few relatives there my mother's brother, only few years ago that i found out my uncle bob spends his day fishing for food. i told my cousins why are they not going home here, philippines in abundant in marine life too.  ;D

His luck brings him this luxury, he can now live  whatever he like, this kinds of luck only happen once an opportunity to change big from your financial status, now that he have this he can build his own business and be the boss and enjoy.

Privacy is important but for this kind of winning, it wont be a surprised thing that they would published it out unless if the winner do tell them about
identity privacy.

I wont deny that knowing your neighbors won do some lottery jackpot will really have that kind asking some pennies from his winnings.This isn't only applied on Philippines but
also with other countries as well.

Privacy does not matter but if their government knows they will consumes certain funds as taxation alone. Then some middle east countries does not entertain gambling earnings. So if winning via crypto gambling he may keep silent and stay anonymous.

That winning jackpot sharing kind of information will attract more users to the concern gambling sites. So we need to think in that aspects as well. Whether this has been created to get promotion or this is real.

Yes exactly! With the blessing he received, i think it's more than enough to live his life to the fullest with his family. Not everyone are lucky enough to win such a huge amount so he should take take a good advantage on it. This inspiring story shows that nothing is impossible but still the best key to make profits in life is hardworks and perseverance in everything you do and not just putting your life into gambling.

This is probably one in a million case. I believe there are many hardworking poor people who play lottery or gamble too. And there are wealthy people who win big. Am not suggesting this wasn't a blessing... it just that it could be anyone from any social class

This is real and theres no Lottery announcement that would be faked up because it would really be sued out if someone proves out that its entirely fake
and also people would know because Canada lottery is public so it would be transparent and its dumb to think that they would fake it out.
About taxation,government will eagerly get tax from that on most countries.

How it works hard? I think you only need to do is just to buy a lot of tickets out there in the lottery office to have a high possibility in chances of winning. Lottery gambling is having multiple odds that can't easily predict which the lucky number because it is randomly picked the number that you want. A man who had won was very lucky but I think behind his victory a lot of people too where to get loses too.

Although chances of winning through lottery are very less but if the lottery is won, it is good enough to make you millionaire. I have heard stories where people have won big lotteries and they have changed their life forever. On the other hand, there are people who keep on trying their luck on lottery, but never succeed throughout their life.

I feel so happy for him. I know he deserves it. After all his sacrifices, his hardwork finally paid off. I see my father in him. My dad, though not a janitor, always drops by to a lottery station in our town after work to buy lottery tickets in hope that the universe will hear his prayers and turn our lives into a better one. My dad sometimes wins however not the jackpot prize. But still, we're thankful. I guess, it's not our or my dad's time yet to win. That's why I also do my part to work hard and work well for our future because we can't just wait for luck to knock on our doors.

Anyways, I just hope that the winner will spend his money wisely. I know he will. :)

Since he was already living in Canada for 10 years now,I am sure he has a good and semi wealthy living compared to Janitors in Philippine’s so he is one lucky person to be awarded as winner of jackpot lotto

Exactly mate,there are many janitors who’s living in poverty while some are in good situations

Let's hope he not like the regular guy who wins the lottery, you know they lost the money just in 1 until 2 years after they win because of gambling, cocaine, and hookers. Buts since he is 50 years old and has children and grandchildren he not doing all that stupid thing.

Lottery, sometime it really can be something that impossible to happen, but it is really happen. Only people who really luck who can win it, but in fact, it is still possible to happen. Maybe it can make us believe that we actually have chance to get it too.  ;D

There are really few hardworking people who are poor and there are no such thing as hardworking to but lottery tickets. If you really want to be successful then focus on your goal and avoid gambling because you cannot be lucky as the same as him. Find your own success and im sure its not gambling.

On overseas,these lowly type of jobs(maintenance/dirty jobs) do have much bigger salaries and thats a fact.If the said winner is been living on Canada

for 10 years then i would say that his family is already settled on a good living-might not be too on higher standards but it is much way more better
if they do live or stayed on Philippines. Difference on currency value does matter if he converted those winnings to their own currency knowing that

1 Canadian dollar =
38.3805489 Philippine pesos

So,its really a big win.He's not blessed due to his work level or current status in life but his too lucky on hitting that jackpot.

We should not be dependent on lottery only to change the fortune of our life.  We should have real world plans and we should accomplish those plans to achieve wealth in life. Lottery is just a chance and important thing to note is that not everyone will win the lottery. So we should be more practical and should not have too much hopes from lottery.

Good for him, it's pure luck and that person should spend his money wisely. 

I hope i'll win a lottery soon and get rich easily, but the probability of winning in a lottery is very low and sometimes we lose hope but still betting. This will not be the game changer of your life, just always remember that it's just pure luck.

It is right that we must be more practical but we should try our luck also sometimes.

If he did not manage the money well he would have himself to be blamed because the nature and luck has favour  him. Hope he has good advisers around him and I also hope he would not continue playing gambling as this may lead him to bankruptcy.

Nature of luck was totally on his side cause I learned that 100,000 lost the lottery while he was choosing as winner and for him to said in the news that he won't quit his job as Janitor despite the money he won. Which simply mean he want to invest the money for his children and grandchildren future.

With his quote, I do believe that God gave it to him as being a Janitor will not give you a good life and all those things that your kids will be needing but with his positive mindset and a good character an unexpected turn of events happened, he dreamed to win and was blessed with his years of compassion to his job.

I hope that he'll handle his winnings appropriately and stay humble.

I envy him so much. That man deserves to win the lottery. It is time now to experience best things and enjoys his life. Being a janitor is not an easy job. His efforts and sacrificed are being paid now. The gambling luck is in favor on his side. And I believe that there is a right time for us to experience that, too.

If this is inspiring, this will favor to the lottery operator as it will increase a number of gamblers betting on the lottery, hence more profit for them.
We can't change the fact that the chance of winning is very low, we have millions of betters but chance for one person to win is still low.

But then again, as long as one is willing to spend he money they can afford to lose, that would be no problem.

In my country, lottery income is given to government project especially in the charity, you will helping them if you keep betting.

Though life is not thay easy, and he knows it.

Even he won a lot of money in that lottery, he knows that it will not be enough. I am not saying thay he is greedy but he is putting those money for his children, grandchildren and they have a long way to go the reason he will still continue to go to his job as a janitor. He is a great guy and never think of his self. I hope other gamblers are like this.

I saw this news last few days ago and I shocked because he is Filipino.  In my country that is hundred millions pesos in our currency.
He is now rich but I saw some he did not quit his job even he is millionaire this means this man is down to earth what ever happen to him he love their job even he is janitor. I hope he create more business that can help other people.  He is very lucky to won to the lottery.

Is it he still working same? Hmm...

He is supposed o make more money by investing hem into the right investment.

That is my own advice too he should invest the money wisely and shouldn't embark on spending spree as a result of his fortune, he is indeed blessed from grass to grace this is a rare opportunity, he should utilise this opportunity judiciously to avoid any touching stories at the end of the day after his retirement from his job.

I read a story like this who won millions but again returned to the same job as cleaner after 16 years,I hope this will not repeat here.

Ohh God,my typing skills getting bad. :-X

      Everybody is deserving for the prize either a janitor or a manager , poor or rich people because we pay for that betslip , I also buy lottery just for the dream but one thing that encourage me is , in my country , a fraction of the proceeds will be given to charity .

He deserves the jackpot  he is a guy with a good heart I'm sure he will share his blessing to people who are like him and he will be a blessing to other people too, a great time to win the jackpot, just when you are in an age that can decide right, I also want to win a jackpot at that age.

Wow! Happy to here that good news. Its amazing, real story I know he is not just lucky but also blessed and he deserve to win that much of price because he is hardworking and full of dream for his family he just want a good life for his family, and now he can do every thing he want.

We know winning in Lottery is not easy there is a billions of combinatiom of numbers before you win and very low percentage to win.
But he won and it is very huge money and their dream will come true anything they want to buy now they can buy it.
I hope the money will invest in the right investment and choose good project and create a business that help to him to grow his money and to help other people by giving job to them.

Yeah that’s what I am saying,living for 10 years with Blue collar Job means they already have stable and wealthy life.as I have some friends living with the same profit there and in Switzerland .they are bringing their family in good while in the Philippines the offer is not even 1/4 of their salaries

A dream that makes everything into reality. Just a piece of lottery ticket this man changed his life 360 degrees financially. He can now provide the necessities of his grand children. It doesn't always necessary mean that you will become like him of you do gambling but it's all about strategy but most especially your luck with gambling. Even you devote everything into gambling if you don't have that enough luck then its either you lose or not.

Deserves to win, maybe because his habit is to buy ticket in the lottery and always patiently to bet, its a been a long time gambler waiting to be lucky to win. The lotto is very difficult you win , if youre not lucky no chance to wins.

A shockingly large people that win the lottery end up broke because they can't control their spending and they end back where they started.  Hope it doesn't happen to this guy but it is a very common occurence when poor people receive a windfall like this.

That's what everyone called luck. I'm sure here everyone must have their own luck. Not only for a lottery but for everything else. And congratulations to that person who is now a Millionaire. Maybe in the future we will get good luck like that person.

For rich people, gambling is a joy, and they seek pleasure in it. They use the money to find comfort and fun in gambling. Poor people buy lottery with the hope of changing their lives and the dream of becoming rich with gambling. Two worlds with two different ways of thinking are making things separate.

Sure that's luck and it's rarely happening to everyone.

There are lottery winners too and their story has their own kind and this story from this guy is exceptional. Well done to him and he may use the money he had won for something better for his family. There should be a debriefing on how to spend money wisely.

But most likely these kind of mindset or people who do play lottery are those people who want to change up their lives or simply becoming rich but for those

people who are already self-sufficient i don't see for them on commonly joining up these lotteries.There might be some few numbers but the majority would be
the poor ones.

there not so much difference. most lottery winers  among poor people will get lower  prizes, comparable to what they spend on lotteries, and will be happy even their life is not going to change.  every win, even small is good.

If you've won by luck since you're poor from your previous life, then that's a big opportunity to consider. The fact that it's too hard to become millionaire, yet you've become one of those who've won by chance. Hopefully that's the best opportunity for those who've been poor since birth, and if given a huge percentage on winning everything won't come out worthless spending money wisely after all; even though it's not the money of hardwork.

Lifestyle will change and the amount of money you own has increased tremendously.

That's why I think that the management of the lottery or any games and amusement board agency should ask him to go on a debriefing on how he will spend that money wisely. But I guess, he knows how to already specially if you grow up poor because you will handle things seriously and want to spend it to the wisest that it can.

Everyone yes they have own luck, but for the person who are won to the lottery are very lucky because it's hard to win to this kind of gambling compared to the other gambling who are easy to win but easy too lose also but in lottery also are easy too lose. Not all the time we are lucky if we play gambling because mostly high chance for us to be not lucky.

In gambling, there is always a chance to win or lose. That is the reason why some people risk their money in gambling. We want to double our money and we want an easy win game. But because you want to win, you always bet and it result for a great loss to us. Maybe, this is just one of the lucky winners and an inspiration to all of us that gambling can make our money grows. From poor to rich, gambling can easily do that and vice versa.

Gambling may double or triple our money if we also know how to deal with it. But if we keep on betting just to win back all our losses, i'm sure we will still end up being loser. We all have our own luck, and definitely that person must be lucky enough and very blessed that he can finally give his family a wonderful future and a good shelter.

Lottery will literally change your life from zero to hero but you need to be consistent on betting with your numbers no matter what.  The janitor is very blessed but I think this family especially the grandchildren are much more lucky. You know that he is in his 50's and there is only few things that he can do and only few time left on him while his grandchildren are young and there's many things they can do with those money.

You can't say that.

In that age, a lot of things will come and go and there are a lot of decisions to be made and that just not mean that there are only a few things that he can do. His age is the reason why there are a lot of things he can do including his children and grandchildren. That money is reserved for the future of them and the fact that he will go back to his work means there is something he still wants to do.

Did you read my mind ? That is what im about to say but i see that you already posted it for me :)  ( lol )  but id like to add some of my opinion  . i know a couple of rich people that still bets on a lottery and they still go on a casino because they said that they want to earn more money . they want to get more wealthy and there are also poor people that are already contented with their lives and some just dont have a money to buy lottery tickets   .

What a lucky guy! It's just that I just learned about this through this post. It's definitely luck that came to his side. Especially if he does well with that money. It would really benefit them in the long run. I hope he knows what he should do with that money. There are a lot of people who are so overwhelmed with the situation that they forgot to consider the consequences of not knowing what to do with so much money. I have watched different documentaries concerning people that have won the lottery. It's like is it a curse or luck? It's a great watch also.

Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GCO9k1FKaE

That's right. They have different purposes of playing gambling because the situations of them were different too. But not all poor people buy lottery because they know that the lottery will not work well for them and they know that to get rich, they need to hard work without stop. If we can feel enough of what we have and not use gambling as a solution to get money, then we will not think to get fast money from gambling because that is very difficult. That is how we look at gambling as entertainment.

Yes, there are lucky people who can change their lives through gambling. But the number of people like that would be very little and if people only relied on the lottery as their main dream, it could end badly for most of them. Gambling should be treated as side hobby to try our luck.

Do not be misled with this winning, gambling is not the answer to poverty. If the guy can't manage his winnings well, he'll end up being broke again just many lottery winners before him.


Please remove the hardwork and dedication working as a janitor part as key to him winning the lottery. It is completely unrelated. It's his consistency on buying those tickets.

I think it was just his time to win, not because he was a hand worker of because of his good intention, there are a lot of people with all these characters that have never won in gambling. Gambling is luck and it happens to people at different times.

I honestly hope I get to win this big someday because I have put in a lot into lotteries and casino site s and I am sure of my intentions, they are pure and for good and my major reason for wanting to win is to do charity work, so I hope luck shines on me soon to do all that I desire to. The win is truly huge  and motivating and I am very happy for the Janitor.

He can now enjoy the rest of his life happy as he will have nothing to worry financially, the winner seems to be a good guy I'm pretty sure he will share his blessing, knowing that he comes from a poor environment working as a janitor, we should be happy someone like him won that huge lottery.

Honestly I could feel his compassion for the job. I think nature just have a way of smiling at people who think positively, never letting the situations around to cause them limitation. The story is so inspiring and I believe that he will use the money judiciously

I just feel mindset really has a great role to play in gambling, it might look like the money isn’t coming forth but we have to keep on pushing. I was already getting discouraged about gambling but I must admit that the story has changed my mindset; I will only learn to become wiser while I keep on being consistent in gambling. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

All for the sake of money and all just to achieve our dreams. We cannot blame people who depends much on the lottery because if they won for sure they will have a better life. Imagine a janitor won a lotto, this is a most deserving reward. Let's hope that he will stay rich until he die and don't die poor.

I don't think it matters that much when you play the lottery, the chances of winning are so small, that even a rich person can't possibly buy enough tickets to get much greater odds.
Unless it's a very small scale lottery of course, but even then the person who just buys one ticket can win.

That's the whole point of the lottery really, getting a chance to win a massive amount of money for a very small wager.

You said it right on that mate,imagine those who got jackpot in past are now back to where they started,my cousin has a friend that comes to win jackpot in local lottery and got a good amount of money,but in five years time he spent the money in not rightfully mannered,when he always take good time and forget about money are losing little by little,and now after five years?he return to being employee and earning smaller

This story can happen to everyone, it's not about the character of the winner, it's just luck find it's way through his ticket, but it's a good story to tell, a hardworking janitor who dream big and that dream comes true, we love to hear and read this kind of story, I'm sure the guy will share his blessing knowing how hard life is.

Haven't seen a news for a while but still this is a great news, besides more gamblers will take the opportunity to bet as they want to feel what the janitor is right now. There are already countless of people who've won and has been given a chance to change their lives with these games, it doesn't matter if its pure luck but as long as it pays you when you win, that would be fine for all.

We just have to hope that the money will be put in good news, not to mention, us Filipino are always "ONE DAY MILLIONAIRE"

With lottery you need a lot of luck to be able to become a winner with a special prize along with a million dollar prize. You should not put all your hopes on numbers and hope you will become rich when you buy a lottery ticket. Use the money you invest in projects or buy Bitcoin waiting for years to come.

I know, right? In our small barangay, we usually know what is happening because well, as I said it is so small. From a wanted person to hiding wives and husbands, the all-seeing eyes and all hearing ears are everywhere. When someone won the lottery, there should be a celebration, liquors, food and also, the "balato" that people will ask the winner. If you will be hiding from them? You will be labeled as "madamot" or selfish and in my experience, a lot of people will be creating a gossip about you.

It's just a common routine for us Pinoys, but still haven't they realized that it also takes time, effort and money before they win these pots? And majority of them doesn't win. So if ever these people have won doesn't give a penny to share then I think there's nothing wrong with that, in fact that money was indeed yours to be exact, you have wasted some of your life into it. So it wasn't necessary to give unless they're in bind and in need. You can feed the whole barangay for a day, and after that live your quiet life again. That should be enough.

Poor people try their luck to every gambling like in lotter this man is very lucky it because he can won and that's very big jackpot winning lotto. Poor people wants to change their lives so they gambling but the better to do is to find other way to change your lives by not depending in the gmabling.  Work hard is needed of everyone for success to achieve your dreams or to become rich.

Good story. It probably took him years of buying tickets before actually winning one and that would have cost him a lot also. I'm not taking anything  away from the persistence of the man in buying those tickets but he could have also used them in investing.

Lottery is a tax on the poor. Sure somebody wins bit you’re more likely to get struck by lightening twice than to win the lottery (I read that somewhere).

Maybe he had spend much money on buying lottery tickets but what had happened on him was a very life changing.He was just very lucky to win such a big amount but i believe it does not happen to him overnight.It takes more money and time before he was able to win a jackpot.

Even if you spend so much money on just a short time, if luck doesn't suits you, you won't win, unless you buy all the lottery tickets, with that you have been so greedy that you made an investment over a lottery and make a sire winning even if its just a short amount of winnings.

If you'll gonna bet on all of the combination of numbers on the lottery, you'll have to spend millions and if the pot is also in million then you wont be getting more than you expect. Only if you were able to bet and memorize all of the combinations 😋😛

I am truly happy for the Janitor and I have picked some lessons from his stories.
1.Work hard even when you hope to make it someday from Gambling
   This young man was not jobless as some of the gamblers I see theses days who can gamble their major and
   only source of income. He was still doing menial jobs even though he had a dream for a better life
2. Keep on the faith and Never give up, from the story, that young man, kept on trying, playing and he was
    consistent because he had a goal he was after, he had a plan and a kind of life he needed to achieve
3.Dream Big, The janitor dreams of buying houses, cars and so many things he needed to do for his family.

The op needs to first of all consider the cost of trading also before using those domiciled exchanges because those local exchanges looks quite too expensive to trade on their platform to me and a newbie might not be starting with that much money, and in order for his trade to count, I think he better use exchanges like Binance that has the lowest trading fee for its users generally.

I made this mistake too when I started trading, for security and safety, I was looking for exchanges that are within my vicinity which I started using, but I realized that every profit I was making for just going for trading fee until my friend introduced me to  Binance.

What should we call these rich people that still want to gamble to become richer, are they greedy or just business minded. Maybe I should leave the question opened

I am sure that poor people, who are not gambling, simply don’t do it because they do not have money to afford lotteries not because they are contented. No man can ever be contented with poverty. I feel gambling is to make money, we only have to be careful in playing so that we don’t become too carried away or play without caution. It’s better to learn all the strategies needed to play and we will realize the money in gambling.

It will be a big curse if he’s unable to do something tangible with such amount of money. I can imagine all the years he had spent in abject poverty and this win coming through is meant to put an end not just to poverty in his entire lineage

I learnt something from this man, a change of story and status could happen to any gambler at any point in time, I am sure the man didn’t even expect he would win the lottery on that particular day. He only came to play like every other day, this teaches us to be consistent in gambling. I couldn’t open the youtube link you put below.

Consistency my foot. I heard some months ago that a very young boy won lottery and it was a reasonable amount of money and the shocking part of the news was that it was he’s first of trying it, he was just on he was only one his way to an errand when he stopped by to try the lottey with the money for that errand and he won.

I am sure that would be the first and last day for that guy to ever gamble again and he already made money to save himself, I believe this gambling is all luck and those who believe it takes consistency might only be wasting their money and still cannot predict how long they will have to play before winning.

A voluntarily tax for the poor maybe, since not all people are betting. From a Janitor to a multi millionaire was a true success for me since for sure, he bets many times and he didn't stop from believing on the lottery. We can try this many times, and as long as you have extra money to bet then its fine. The next step for that Janitor is to clean his mess, pay all his debt and be an entrepreneur that's the best way to stay millionaire.

Its a fortune for his life but he can be called as successful once he use this amount on right investment and multiplies it.If he simply put that money into lottery again and again will make nothing for him but the gambling site keeps earning more and more money for every bets.

The winner of the $344 million Powerball jackpot picked his numbers from a fortune cookie. https://www.insideedition.com/grandfather-wins-344-million-using-numbers-fortune-cookie-53458

If you are long gambler of lottery gambling you have probably a chance to hit jackpot soon like what happened to that janitor and become one of the multi-millionaires. The more you have been bought tickets the more you have a chance of winning. Maybe that was the strategy of that former janitor that he was now a successful and have earlier retirements on his job of being janitor not now cleaning any mess. Buying at least 10 tickets every day and consider it is already a loss will probably lead you to hit jackpot.

That's true, there are many people love to think on winning on lottery of course it was a dream to become the winner but I always think that "If it was your time, then the luck will come to you no matter what happens" you don't know what will be the next step of your life but the important thing is that you really hard work for you dreams knowing that it will pays off soon  :)

But in the interview he said they will continue ro work this person is so humble and kind congrats for winning in lottery draw you made it now your daily life change. Always remember dont give up for every problem you will encounter just be a good person make a hardwork and God will suprise you one day.

Really guys?

@jrrsparkles,
So your basis of being a successful individual is having a financial freedom more than a well mannered and humble person with a whole family? I respect your opinion though but why you've said that 'gambling site keeps earning more and more'? lottery is a form of gambling too.

@DoubleHunter,
You can't win lottery without even buying a ticket, we all knew that  ;)
The odds of winning a lottery is so small, I can't think of a successful strategy/advises from the winners of different lotteries but the bottom line is they've bought a ticket and won with their lucky numbers.

As what ive seen, i guess he would buy a lot more tickets now that he won. If he usually bought 5, i guess he'll make it 10 now. I am not putting him down but there are only two options to maintain the large money. To put it on a business or to use it as a capital for more lottery tickets.

i think choosing to use the money back on a lottery ticket is not the right choice because with that much money he can use it to open a business or anything so that he doesn't always rely on gambling for his income. using that money as well as possible will make the janitor will have the rest of his luxurious life and certainly will make his grandson have a better life and better if he is able to make the right business for the long term

Open a bussiness isn't an easy way just like you said even though you have much money. There is possibility if your bussiness will bangkrupt and you are also losing your money, but it's better than relying on buying lottery since the odds of winning is really really small. Maybe rather than open a bussiness and buying lottery, he can start to invest those money.

You just spoken very wisely many people gambles thinking that the gambling industry owes them a fortune but as it turns out they keep loosing the little the came with. I have heard of a man who sold his only house to gamble with it and lost now he has joined the homeless gang. I am a gambler but I don't believe it's a source of income

Yes luck was truly on he’s side but at the same time, I would say that luck only smiles at those who have a job or who are hardworking. I think that janitor is a very hardworking person, I am sure many will immediately leave their job as soon as they see this type of money, as a matter of fact, I will also do same

If he’s investing the money for his children, crypto investment would be the best, in short that one is very guaranteed, I hope he wouldn’t want to try his luck again with the money. That would be so bad if he does that since we cannot predict gambling.

You need to look at the post for what I replied,someone said winning lotter is success of gamling but its a luck thouh,if he can able to change his life though that money can be called as successful.Anyway we all are making more for our family so we can't separate family from our life.

Yes, he said that and that person doesn't think of other things but to give his family a good life. He's such a humble guy and if I'm the one that won that amount, I'll definitely leave my job immediately.

But the idea that comes to my mind is that there's many benefit become employed and he just can't also leave the company that gave him such opportunity.

God blessed the guy indeed. Philippines have a lot of people just like in my country struggling to make a living so we all buy a few lotteries every week and hope to make it big. I know the odds are impossible my friends keep telling me it is stupid and deep down I know also.

But I still eat and live and pay for rent,,, and even invest in crypto. A few dollars every 2 weeks is okay for lottery, keeps me fantasizing too;)

That's a great news and very interesting knowing the story of that new millionaire. Janitor becomes a millionaire, he deserve it.
We really have to look for our own path, and don't feel discourage because of your failure remember we can all have the golden time and maybe we will  be the next millionaire.

Just keep the amount invested in lottery which you can afford to lose and do not keep a lot of hopes that you will win lottery. Winning a lottery os like bouns and we dont get bouns everytime. OP has been indeed lucky person who have become a millionare from Janitor. I hope he will help his near and dear ones with this money too.

The janitor who has turned a millionaire is an exception, same has taken place with gambling. Dedication and hard work always win, but even there exceptions were found who are still suffering after years and years of hard work. This way when there is luck surely anyone could get the big out of the lottery, gambling or out of dedicated hard work.

Lotteries. Fool's game I suppose if you look at it statistically. I don't know anyone who's ever won even a prize bigger than the smallest consolation and I've known quite a few lottery players. My own grandfather for starters. Used to buy a few every draw, was even illegal in my town (it was a lottery from neighbouring region) but he'd buy it at a tenth extra of the cost.

Bought it myself a few times for the nostalgia after he passed away. They do say you can't win it if you don't buy it.

And soon he would go back to play with all the money again, itsjust a matter of time. Gambling doesn't give free money

  Yes starting a business requires you to be very wise and make plans from the start. You could be very instrumental in making profit in the business if you do some homework and make a great business model. You need to do some research before starting the business because it gives you an insight into the market if there is one.

Only dumb people wont really care too much on setting up a business without any proper planning.All sorts of business or investment does really require such thing.
If you do carelessly done things without any research or preparation then you business would most likely to fail.

Money that had been won on lottery should be well spent and don't ever tend to use those funds just to purchase an another lottery tickets.

He can build a business but he need a plan if he want to become successful his business and grow it.

Money will not be permanent so he need to find some ways to gtow his money let's ssaid that is millions but many rich became poor now because they did not know where they did handle their money and where they did spend it.

I hope this man will not going to wrong way but he do more hardwork even now is rich to become richer.

A type of this luck will allow him to established a good business where he doesn't have to work but allow his money to work for him, we don't know
if he will continue to play same game trying once more of his luck, the only problem is, if he play real casino games where money can easily be taken away by the house if he will play aggressively.

After years of struggles and hard work as a janitor,  he really deserves this kind of blessing. Maybe he is a good man. Maybe, God has seen him struggled a lot just for him to give better living to his family and He gave him this kind of blessing to end those struggles. A man who is genuine in his words and actions deserves best things this world could ever give. Good for him.  I just hope he'll not waste this opportunity given to him and find ways to also help other people struggling financially.

Though as a janitor he can still take risk and he was not waiting for miracle to happen as we all have around us today. From the beginning till now, God only reward those that are ready to take risk and hate the fearful. If we desire to get good think in life then we should be ready to take investment risk.
It will ever be somebody that was a janitor but had a heart of a millionaire that this type of thing will happen in his life. This man has been working as a janitor but inside him was a millionaire!

I doubt if that will be the case with the Janitor, from the news that I saw the guy looks very calculative and he already has plans for hes money. The reason he ever dream of winning is to give he’s children a decent life and he even mentioned that even now that he has won this big, he would continue with he’s Janitorial work while he keeps the money for the children and I believe he knows where to make safe investment.

The ones who end up broke after winning in lottery are usually those who never had a plan on ground before it happened. It always like the money caught them unaware and then, the next thing they can instantly think of is to put back the money on gambling and that marks the end .

Exactly bro different people with what they desire and we all have our reasons for going into gambling but I realize that we  all get what we want from it. You can see from the case of this one time poor Janitor, who’s  dream was to become rich, it took time for it to happen but yet it came to pass

I can’t wait for the day I will also share my story, I am too convinced that gambling makes people rich hence I will not give up. The only thing is even while we push to win in gambling, we have to learn to make it balance so as not to get addicted. There are times I would want to gamble with the last money on me because of my dream to succeed in gambling, but I just remember the beginners slogans and I make amends.

I guess the above user don't understand that the Janitor in subject was already a grand father which I believed have already learn from his previous mistakes for not raising his kids the way he wanted. However, the article stated that he's not planning to quit his janitor work so he easily invest the money.

Personally, I am not impressed with this story, i know it is true, But the fact is not everyone has too much luck. Actually, i have listen a lot of stories about lottery, that once a man who bought a lottery and one day he won and become rich. So he is only one man out of millionaire people, and i am sure it is not you and me. That's why i don't like lottery system.

He is so lucky.maybe in our life lucks comes one time and grab it if you have it.you can use your luck in gambling but we never know when our lucky day will come.when it comes of gambling never put all your money in one bet.you should know when you should play and when you should stop playing gambling.because we know that everyday is not a lucky dat.so better be wise.
A story of Vito Halasan can inspire to us to play lotto just be patient wait if lucky comes to you.Good for Mr. Vito Halasan.hope what he won he can use it in a nice way.and take care in every ways.

That’s not right bro, contrarily that’s a game for wise people. There are some investment that might look foolish but at the end it will be made known that it was actually wisdom. Like the saying that the end justifies the means, that’s how lottery cards are. You can buy over 10 and never win, maybe your luck would have come with the 11 and when we give up, we just assume no one wins in gambling.

You can imagine how long that janitor guy has been trying, but the safe side of his, was that he was working and as well , he understood the idea of separating just little money to try, and at the right time, he has won his dream house and car.

I am sure that he has big luck in that lottery so he can win a lot of money. Many people were jealous of him because they cannot get the same thing as him and I think that will attract other people to tries their luck in the lottery too. I only hope that people will know what they do and don't spend too much money to buy the lottery because the chance to win the jackpot will not be bigger.

That's what someone's luck is called. If the person repeats the lottery again, they certainly won't get it back and everyone will have to do the lottery often to get the jackpot. But the reality is how many times you can't be sure when you will win. That is what luck calls can come from anyone.

I have heard so much story about the less privilege people really hitting big in lottery in the Philippines. I guess they are just banking on that luck that one day they will eventually win and turn their life upside down.

However, there are cases as well that those people can't manage properly huge amount of money suddenly falling on their lap. Relatives and non-relatives come to the picture and the next thing you know, bad investments, bad people around you ruin everything.

So i do hope that Vito Halasan will not turn out to be another statistics in the lotto curse. Goodluck to him.

I don’t think he would be so foolish to make that mistake. He has already won a huge some of money as contrary to the  believe, gambling as a matter of fact just gave him money that would transform his generation for a lifetime. Those who make mistakes of putting back the money into gambling were never gamblers.

It’s impossible for a man who has spent a lot in buying lotteries that he never won for once, win after a longtime and put back the money into gambling, it only happens to those who are lucky to win a game in their first attempt, so they believe it will come so easy.

One should access their own luck and game rather than thinking that if they won i too can win etc . For us money importance of 100$ also may be a lot than other people so we need to worry about how we utilise that money . Can we lose in gambling and still live a good life etc .

Lol only stupid people will do what you are saying,and remember the Man get the win from lottery and not from some kind of gambling that addicting and and can make you lose in just a day

I am sure he can save the money for their future and the gambling habit will stop there

You are right, we cannot all be a winner, we can only strive to be among the winner, but when it comes to gambling, it’s purely game of luck and there is no strategy that can be out in place to really guarantee winnings for one. This is why I sometime like to stay away from gambling so that I don’t feel that life has abandoned me when I lose out.

Gambling is not the only part to success, whatever the creator has destined to bring one’s success, provided we work towards it, it will materialize, that was his own destiny, it has already been written that it’s through gambling that he will go from being a janitor to a millionaire and I am really happy for him.

I agree, a person from being poor, won't do that kind of shit especially a Filipino. He really know how hard life is. It's also possible that he may stop from buying lottery tickets. He already won, knowing that it's hard to win in lottery then how come a twice, the chances will become even smaller. He's smart enough not to make such idiotic things like gambling that money again.

This million dollars win came at the best time of this ex janitor and am sure he quit his job immediately after confirming the numbers and if his life can change in a blink of an eye why should others not dream.

The lottery is not a way to poverty as its put in the OP, it's a platform of opportunity which gives everyone a chance to win.

We are not jealous with him, we all are happy to see that he has won, but you know only low class buy these type tickets, up class don't need to buy lottery tickets. And the surprising thing, when he bought ticket he also didn't know that he could win in lottery, But luck bless him and unpredictably he won.

I disagree with that bro. I have been gambling for a while now how come I haven’t hit jackpot yet, it’s just a matter of luck and I am very sure that was what happened to the janitor. I understand the power of consistency but I am sorry it does not work in gambling.

The janitor was just being strong that he hasn’t gone out of his mind since all these years, who knows if he would be alive to meet this day, because too much loses in the name of being consistent has cost many a lot of mistakes, pains they wish they never started. There are people who buy lottery for the first time and win, I think i have read stories like that, so we do not necessarily have to keep on playing to win.

How do we just conclude he is humble because he promised working as a janitor, I listened to the news and the first thing that crossed my mind was, there is every probability that the janitor has no plans for the money and rather than wasting it, he would prefer to save it somewhere for his kids then continue with his work.

I think this is one of the disadvantages of gambling. It does not give winners or gamblers the opportunity to plan because they always don’t expect to win, you can’t compare it to investment where we already know what to do with money even before it comes, because we are expecting it already.

Depends on the mindset of such earner either if he do gain those money from gambling or pure hardwork or investment.If they do have that kind of sensible mindset
then priorities would be the main thing in mind because you dont know the hopes or plans of certain bettor when hes betting on lottery.Either he do want to buy all of his wants or just for the sole purpose on giving his family a decent life.

It was very inspiring story what a lucky guy but he really deserve it, luck was for those who are really in need something. Luck was making a person very happy in life. Well in life there are only few people who experience this one and its really life changing. It will be very glad to know that such big money was got by a janitor, he was so blessed by the above. You will never know when will be your best time but at least you are still hoping for something everyday that one day it was your shining time too. That man was so lucky in gambling.

Seems like luck has favoured the old man, I strongly do not believe that luck can be the only tool you always need some strategies if you do not want to rely on Simple Luck. But we cannot deny that Luck is also a thing and people really win sometimes because of the fact that they were lucky. But you are intelligent and you can make plans and calculations which will make more profit, we seek more on possibilities than on luck. This old man got a big bonus for his life I hope he spend that money on something good.

Exactly. Over here we are talking about the sudden luck and fortune that is so hugs that makes you think of how to deal with the money and only the wise man could come up with good ideas to invest profitably. People like Winklevoss Twins who had gotten huge money from Mark Zuckerberg and invested in Bitcoin back in 2009 I think when it was lower than $1.

Do you believe that money makes someone forgets his sorrow and his past? There are some money you will make that you will completely forget where you are coming from, and forget exactly what the past situation has been.

I have met so many people that has thrown away over 3 chances they got of becoming rich for life, I know of a guy who once hit his millions at the age of 19, and blew it without thinking of tomorrow, initially we blamed it of his teenage age, he got another chance after then when he was 40 years, and still lost the opportunity by wasting the money on irrelevant things without proper investment,.

The last one that made us lose hope completely for him was the last chance he got through his grandson’s influence to become rich, and that is how he gamble with that money again, till he lost it again, and I believe that he won’t get another chance again. It takes someone disciplined to be able to manage wealth.

Really nice to know that luck was given to a person who really dreamed to have a good life for his family, he deserved to get things like this since he'll going to share this opportunity to his whole family and they will have a better life ahead now..

Honestly he’s story is one of the most inspiring stories I have read in a while, the level of patience speaks volume and I would say that he not only lucky but blessed. It’s not easy to be patient in gambling without winning even though there might be hope that it will happen someday. I was always buying lotteries some time ago while believing that I would become a winner one day but the day didn’t seem to come, so at a point I decided to quit, I now wish that I continued.

It’s not really about spending excessively even when we play with little money and we do not see ourselves winning anytime soon it can be so discouraging, but patience is what would keep one pushing and at the end there is always a win.

I do not see this as luck at all. All I see here is a man who has known what he wants and kept on pursuing it regardless of how long it took him to achieve. This man has been doing this repeatedly. It wasn’t his first time of buying lottery, maybe I would have agreed to luck if it was his first time doing it, this is pure dedication and faith at work.

I know a lot of people will ask why they are yet to win theirs, if It’s because of dedication but my answer is that different people with their different time of winning. At the end everyone will be a winner, we only need time patience and carefulness till it gets to our turn.

To be fair usually poor people play lotteries with the hope of winning millions and this situation isn't an exception.
Btw yeah, he is lucky because as you stated about poor and hard working man, there are a lot of people in his similar situation bu doesn't win so this man is lucky.
SirLancelot
There are a lot of people who try like him but not everyone wins, I have no idea how you can't call it a luck.

He must be very lucky and blessed
I wish he will use the amount of winning appropriately since this is once in a lifetime opportunity,he might consider also helping others since that amount is huge that can feed he’s family the entire life of 3rd to 4rth generations

It is a good thing to do but don't know how many people actually help others even if luck changed their entire life overnight.

He might use this money in the productive way than for gambling again and again which is important.

Of course he knows his plans already. He is really blessed to win such a huge amount and what happens to him was a real life life-changing that will make his life very progressive in the years to come. With this, he should also see to it the security not just the properties he will buy but even the safetiness of his family members too.

He's lucky indeed, winning a $7M jackpot is a big thing and it can change a lot of things for his lifetime.

And after all of those losses he made because he's buying lottery tickets for a long time. He can do whatever he want but I think he will diversify it to some investments and ventures and will enjoy it after his retirement.

We can never really expect things like this in our lives. The janitor had been so lucky to turn out to become millionaire. I think that there is a time in our life that we will be able to experience this one life time opportunity. Now, we only have to look upon on things to have a once in a life time opportunity. I bet my life will change because of gambling especially in betting jackpots and lottery.

It's quite funny how some of you guys think. That he won seven million dollars doesn't mean that gambling is the answer to your problems. Yes he won, but you can play for the rest of your life and not even win up to $1000. Everyone's luck is different and I also don't think that it is everyone that can have the level of patience he had. And from the way I see the story, he's not one of those that are addicted. I just hope that he doesn't become stupid That he's a millionaire. It would be best for him to stay out from gambling now and start a big business. Just what I think.

I don't argue with what you said for there are some people which are not capable of control their emotion for money is what control their act and it because they lack wise thinking/advise. However, i believe it because they lack knowledge do you remember the saying "a fool at 40 is a fool forever"

If anyone is thinking about becoming a Millionaire from Janitor (by investing his life saving in gambling), then it is sure not possible in most cases. Gambling is a risk and i do not think everyone is in a position to take such a big risk. You can earn slow or earn hard in other fields but the fear of losing all is too much in gambling.

The opportunity he/she had was a good one but hope he/she wise enough to invest with the said money than to do unnecessary investment just to be scam at the end. Continue to play the game can make him/her loose more to the gambling platform. If i where the winner, i will definitely retire from gambling and focus about into the future.   

Yes they are very random things and cannot happen every day of cannot happen to 90 out of 100 people in the same building. The story from being a janitor to millionaire is pretty interesting but that is pure luck or randomness. I am more confident about the games that could be won by mental capabilities and calculations like Chess. But it is not bad to participate in lottery.

You said there will be time will be able to experience such a one life time opportunity but how can ones experience it if he/she never really expect the possibility of such things in his/her lives.

You're right about looking after things which could bring opportunities but ones also need to be careful, well calculated and follow some basic rules to avoid debt.

Agree, make a wiser decision considering that he is no longer young and should have a business that can generate good profits every day. I'm sure he won't waste his time and will make a good business for his life needs. Anyway, it is big money and even though he is still enthusiastic about gambling, spending a few percent is not a problem either, but making a decision to retire is the best for him.

That is a good idea for him, to have a good business to generate a good profit every day and they have a source of income. I have heard a story that most of the millionaire from winning the jackpot of gambling turn back to the poor because they don't know how to manage their money. Spending too much but not necessary will lead you back from where you start if you don't know how to generate the money.

Everyone will not experience this kind of wealth and win that he had. If a person isn't a gambler and doesn't buy lottery tickets, he won't experience this for sure but if he's into it, the chance would be very low.

Good luck with your life, we have our own luck and you may see it with your upcoming bets.  ;)

Everyone have it's own definition of luck, maybe not the same with him as he really makes a huge profits, hitting the jackpot and makes his life become a wealthy, now he can enjoy no need to attend and go back for being a janitor but a full control of his good opportunity.

But he said that he won't quit his job although he has money now.

Everyone suggests that he should forget his job and enjoy the wealth that he has but for whatever reason he has, we don't know maybe there's something more valuable than money about his job.

This is the only thing I can say about him that he is very blessed in winning the lotto. In my opinion, buying lottery ticket in lotto is considered as gambling where you put your money at risk or to gamble his money and he did won the lotto at last. I think he didn't think much about the money he risk from buying tickets until his time to win comes.

Good you know that if you try to imitate this Man you may end up loosing all your money in gambling if care is not taken. So, only gamble with what you can afford to lose and not with all your money.

I don't think that he could try to imitate that man because every people don't have the same luck in any gambling games. But he can try to buy the lottery to test his luck, so he will know how much chance he has to win the lottery. But don't expect too much to win the lottery because that will need much money to buy a lot of lotteries.

I like this kind of stories. he had a dream and followed it, no matter how. one guy finds his luck in gambling / lottery. other guys in investing in stocks / commodities / crypto. just do something instead of crying that you have no money 8)

well deserved this guy ;D

The guy deserved to win. He's getting old and he has to enjoy what life is all about, he worked very hard as a janitor and experiencing how to become wealthy now is already on his hands. He's not selfish because he's thinking about his family.

He found luck in gambling but I'll be going with my own journey of investing into crypto and other reliable investment that can give me a better future. Lazy people will cry instead of working hard and start making their dreams into reality but if they chose to go with gambling. The chance of reaching this kind of success is low because it's more individual's luck.

the victory obtained by the janitor illustrates that to be able to win pure gambling because based on luck, he does so certainly not in a short time, when he always fails he can't win, he continues to buy lottery tickets to be able to win. then I can conclude someone who wants to get a big win in gambling certainly requires a long process and there is always a risk that will be faced, one of which he must be willing to spend large capital first

lottery is a game that requires full luck  . the janitor's story is one of the evidence because he is only a janitor and he cant afford to buy alot of tickets but in the end he still manage to win the jackpot by only buying small amount of tickets  . he is a risk taker because even he is poor he still insist to risk the small amount of money that he got from his janitorial job just to buy lottery tickets , good thing that he is blessed with luck and now he is enjoying his millions  .  how i wish this can happen to all  .

It wont happen to all as you have said because we know that the lucky ones would able to hit that jackpot.It just

really matter on how someone would took risk into their money.Lets say that janitorial job do have less salary compared
to others but due to wishes or ambition on getting rich he do risk on buying tickets.Its just a double edge sword actually because
you cant be sure on all the money you spend out to tickets would either win or just lose forever.

Often, even you spend lots of money for lottery tickets there's no chance of hitting the jackpot. Thousands of people are trying their luck but only few are able to win.

It can change your life in snap but its a 1% chance only. There's no pain in trying but if you're wise enough its better to spend the money you gamble to much important things.

There's nothing but to try your luck and if you hit that one time big time pot then everything will change your life, most of those who keep playing
with lottery have the same perceptions that day will come and they will also be lucky to hit and win the jackpot.

Obviously mate because Lottery is a form of gambling and we know what made someone to win huge in this area right?its purely Luck and even if you buy worth a million ticket per round yet this won’t assure you of winning compared to those who bought single ticket but get a jackpot lol
Or better to just keep all the money and hold than to bet,in future you’ll find that the amount you keep is enough to say that you win in gambling

People shouldnt compare his luck to them because even you get an inspiration with the story, buying a lot of lottery tickets like him, you still have a thousand of odds to fight for. You have a 99.9% of winning like him. So if you have a plan of taking his steps, be prepared to be miserable.

This is pure luck and it doesn't mean that you will do what he did too. He is just lucky that he won that huge amount of money and it don't take it as an inspiration and you will do the same too that will start buying tickets right now :D. Its pure stupidity if you will do this. If you will try what he did that he bought lottery tickets to win, you need a huge capital I think unless you are very lucky :D.

Yes, janitors are one proof of pure luck that made him a millionaire.
and it will be a good motivation and example for everyone, in his personality and patience, he really produces pure luck like a gift from God.

That luck makes him wealthy now, it's a chance for a life changing profits, he seek for it and he did try this venue and luckily succeed winning the lottery combinations, it's his destiny and that's how luck can bring to everyone who's really seeking for it, maybe it will also happen to anyone though it's random and no one knows if when this thing will hit anyone up.

That guy's is very lucky to have won the lottery. Though we cannot be as lucky as him, so we should refrain from being too persuasive to win. Everyone has their own fate and that janitor who won the lottery has good fate ahead of him if he uses his winnings wisely.

This is to remind us that gambling is all just about luck.  It's just ironic to see that those who dedicate most of their time on gambling rarely wins. But those who just bets on a lottery occasionally are blessed by luck to have a chance to change their life.

He is lucky, blessed and deserving he has a good intention and good hearts, the money he won will be in good hands and I'm sure he will share a blessing to unfortunate people, he knows what it feels to be less fortunate, he will be a blessing to people around him and to people who needs help.

Well, just now had seen this post and if I was not mistaken I saw this on TV news a month ago. Well, he just got lucky on that and won the jackpot prize in the Canadian lottery which is he occasionally purchasing tickets. Indeed, we don't know when the luck may be with us. So those hoping to be a multi-millionaire by winning the jackpot prize of a lottery you should try to buy also to buy tickets occasionally. Who knows our dreams come true.

Although many of us will try to do what he did, I think we don't have the same luck as him. We have a chance to lose money if we cannot win, and that will what we got in any gambling games. I think if we read a success story like that, many of them can win the money by coincidence and they never thought that they have a chance to win.

These news are only to remind you of your own addiction to play. ;D

They want nothing but their old players to come back and bust their winning in the same casino. These are marketing methods to manipulate greedy players and new players into joining a site for playing. I am more than assured that the news are paid by the casino owners. Winning a lottery does sound tempting to try out but there is no guarantee that you will be the next big winner. In fact you may never win at all and keep on buying tickets.

We have our own time on getting to that point of winning the lottery but everyone will have his own verdict if he has to buy lottery tickets from time to time. I've known people who never stops buying lottery tickets because there's a tiny chance and they're believing on it.

It's hard to decide whether you will pursue it or not because this incident happens once in a blue moon. The probability of winning the lottery is too low and not everyone can be like this very lucky guy.

Do you mean we should become a janitor to get pure luck?
It's crazy when you said it should be a motivation, winning in a lottery is very hard (it's almost impossible), you will likely to lose all your money before you win

Indeed even you often buy lottery tickets but you're not lucky then a chance to win is impossible.

But if luck strike you even its your first time to try then you'll going to win.

Its an example that not everyone has the same destiny just like this janitor so its better to spend your money in other things rather than trying your luck in lottery.

yes, this type of blessings don't come to everyone one. I remember a guy from my city that the wife win lottery that gives both the husband jobs in the USA with two bedroom apartment! The guy was from a humble background and hardly find it very difficult to feed his family and take care of his aging mother but today both his family and the aging mother are now living in the USA and that is the same type of luck that the janitor got. However, we must take risks no matter how little it is to be lucky.

How many janitors we have seen becoming millionaire ? I guess very few or none in my case. If anyone is inspired by this case that gambling have changed a person life and he himself try his luck in gambling, then he must be careful not to spend more and at the same time not to be more hopeful. This is more common that you will lose your money in gambling rather than becoming millioare.

A good example? In what way? That we need to be a janitor in order to win in a lottery? He is a good person, we can say that based on the article but winning a lottery is not a good motivation nor an example for everyone. It is a rag to riches story but if we will be making this an example of success, they might take the same road, a road to gambling addiction.

But there are many people inspired by the story then they are also keep trying to be a millionaire through gambling so pathetic to hear.

Like many other set being millionaire is not going to happen through gambling in our life other than we are extremely too much lucky, so don't have too much hope but keep trying when you care and as much as you can but not too much that you can't afford to lose money

As far as i know, a janitor's salary would hardly makeup to make ends meet if they have a family to support. Having an amount to spare for gambling everyday would already be a big chunk that could've been used for more important expenses. Hardwork makes a person succeed. Getting inspiration from a lucky gambler could lead to all sorts of problem since it's something that doesn't have any assurances.

The chance is like really one in a million. But there are individuals that can allot few dollars for their gambling habit. Though it can be used for other necessities, but they have the notion that someday they will hit the pot. You can't blame them. Trying their luck to come one day. But for other individuals, they should not make it a habit if it is the last penny in their pocket, and a baby or a kid needs to be fed.

I wish I made it that big with Bitcoin itself.
For anyone that bought Bitcoins and early successful tokens or altcoins it was a lot like a lottery. Maybe investing in cryptos had a higher potential than traditional lottery where the bias is always that the ticket buyer would lose their 'investment' with a certain degree of surity.

I know a guy who was an article writer when he heard about the 'bitcoin revolution'.. this was back in 2012.. he is still an article writer and he still can't pay bills or take care of his family properly. He struck it big sometime between now and then and then he lost it all. Some people are just born with luck. This guy I am talking about and  most of humanity, we're born to be stuck in whatever menial life job that we are doing. Not everyone can have that underdog story of going from rags to riches.

I think there was no celestial involvement to particularly pick this man (even if he deserved it) or any other higher order but rather pure chance and he just got what we call "lucky". I suppose after buying lottery tickets for what was a few decades ago a lifetime by the odds are relatively probably that  you'd end up getting something in return. In his case, he just got damn lucky and good for him. Though, I do not think this is an example people should use as the outcome is very probabilistic.

Congrats to him, but he is definitely an anomaly. Work smart/hard....unless you're in a horrible economy  :'(

It is actually the main reason why most of the lottery bettors are from the lowest department of the society. You are right tho that some of this people have succeeded by being wise in making decisions for their life but others didn't or is not capable of doing it.

That is just how destiny works if it's your time then its your time, I also think this guy was having a lot of good deeds in his life to deserve this kind of blessings.

What about all the people that went from millionaires to janitors because of their gambling? The odds of winning most high stakes lotteries are ridiculous but a lot of people think it's worth the punt as usually someones gotta win it and the tickets are often fairly cheap


The universe does not care about you or anyone else and him winning the lottery is sheer luck and I'd consider him very lucky over anything else especially considering the odds of him winning were probably astronomical, but its still just random and the luck of the draw at the end of the day. If he got cancer and died the same year would you also say that was the universe at work? Nope. Sometimes good things happen to you and sometimes bad but we mostly have no control over that. Sometimes you can make your own luck and this guy did by buying tickets but lets not forget all the other good people who are doing this and never win anything substantial if anything at all.

I think that we should take into account the fact that most of the people who hit the jackpot have never experienced excitement to the extent that most gamblers experience it.  It seems to me that these are just random situations and are not of a mass character.  Each player plays constantly And from time to time gets his small jackpot.  And the jackpots are broken by completely different people.

Agree and most people who hit this jackpot are the one who rarely bet in lottery this is only by chance which end up into being an instant millionaire never imagined even on dreams our life is full of surprises yesterday he is a janitor and today he is a millionaire what a lucky guy I hope he can manage that huge amount of money very well.   

God will not award you from Gambling that’s one thing for sure mate

But yes he is one lucky person that has been chosen to be a winne if whom you choose him?well that’s something to be answered 😂

What I ask for the winner is use the money rightfully and can find help to to others since this is a huge amount to spend because he is old enough to have a long time in earth

Of course when it comes to the thrill of gambling your money in a casino, which is matchless to be honest. When you put in your money in a bet knowing there is 50% chance of a loss and still apply different strategies to win. SO yeah gambling is way too joyous. But there is nothing wrong with making huge millions in a lottery either. Better prefer the one that could be more profitable.

I don’t believe in superficial or celestial thing, there is no such thing as celestial involvement the guy is just lucky that he won the jackpot. It is inspiring to know that someone with this status in life was lucky to win the jackpot and that he spend it wisely unlike other who spend it lavishly until nothing left.

You get it all wrong buddy cause that's not always the issue of hitting the jackpot because the winning numbers are selected erratically and only the luckiest person will hit the jackpot. However, I believe the reason why you said those who are yet to experienced excitement are those who hit the jackpot was because only people who are in need of money gambling because of the reward involve.

Those people don't control their emotion when they've win huge amounts of monry. They think that it won't run out quickly that they can do anything they want. It doesn't come up to their minds that it is harder to earn money than to earn it. It's ok to buy or experience things you haven't before you don't have that amount of money but don't spend all of it just for that purpose, remember that it takes one in a million for someone to win in a lottery.

The superficial or celestial thing is there although we don't believe and that thing is to exist in around us. And related to this case, he really got so big lucky in the game, so he won the jackpot. But not all people can have the same luck as him because I think that will be once in a lifetime of the lucky that he gets and he never can get it again in the next future.

We can hope to get that lucky, but we don't have to spend everything we have to case the luck because the luck itself will only come to the right people.

Yes right he was just lucky and to win from the lottery you certainly need to have a big luck beside you, there's people who don't expect things like this but just hoping to win and this man is one of those who been given a chance to win and now to enjoy the lucky earnings to what extent he wants.

I think its the right time for him to win on that lottery. What a lucky man indeed.

Many people everyday are betting in the lottery hoping that they will win and this man just won millions of dollars. A life changing event for him.


I don't believe on that too. If you are destined to win then you will and vice versa. No celestial things or whatever. It is inspiring yes but don't take it as an inspiration and you will spend all of your money in lottery hoping that you will win too like what happened to the janitor.

What happened to him is a dream of a lifetime and he is lucky to have experienced what so many of us are just dreaming to happen at least once in his lifetime, he knows that because he dreamed and makes a bet regularly I'm sure he will allocate a portion of his winnings to poor people like him once before.

For me, it's a lucky and also blessed moment for him. We know that there are so many people buying lottery tickets and hoping that someday it will change their lives and this person had his moment in life. This kind of fortune is one of the ways by GOD; I believe that GOD'S always works in mysterious ways. :)

Maybe there are many people who are too much poor and if they live the routine life, they won't be able to change their fate. The gambling is the only source which can make a very poor person to rich one but it happens only once every 1000 or more.

He have that opportunity to do so but who knows what his plans, he's really lucky changing he's life now and enjoy those winnings together with his family, it's a dream come true indeed and probably if not all it's most of us dreams, maybe someday if luck also  permits things to happen to anyone of us it will also be the luckiest day of our life.

When luck has taken your side then you will get it too, that's why pure luck will not come every time you bet and when you believe luck will come at least you will be confident and continue to do it without boredom and despair despite having lost a lot every time the experiment.

Very insightful post, I really like the man's choice of words when he wrote "I buy lottery tickets so I can dream". I understand gambling is all about trying your luck but sometimes it's favorable, but don't make it a habit. Also never rely entirely on gambling as source of income.

He's lucky for real, not everyone who has a dream and keeps on betting regularly will reach what he has reached. But he has no obligation of helping other people as he wants to secure himself and his family first.

But who knows if this guy will share his fortune with the unfortunate people he comes home. A guy like him deserves to have this kind of fortune and he's been working hard with his job and you can see his humility for staying at his job but he should start retiring. I wish to see some updates about him.

I am a born gambler and I understand what Vito said. Buying tickets to dream is what we do. I have this writing above the head of my bed - "impossible is nothing" and it pushes me to keep trying. Many are saying gambling is bad but what is bad is alcoholism, addiction to drugs not gambling.

You've got to be confident enough to win big like Vito. However I do hope he manages the funds he has made well and should be wary of parasites - the very people that will cast aspersions on you when you're gambling will still turn back to beg for cash.

Gambling is bad if an individual is addicted to it same as alcohol or drugs, or anything that is too much will always be bad for people. Nothing is impossible as long as you work hard, Vito was a janitor and not a gambler, he just simply had a dream to give his children a better future, and luckily he got that in gambling. I'm sure even him didn't expect that to happen. Now he can retire, have his own business and make his dreams come true.

That is right. GOD will always work in a mysterious way, we could not predict what will happen later. And if that person can win much money in the gambling games, then GOD is behind him and help him to win the games. I think that is happening to all people but some people get a big reward because he did one good thing.

But people must remember that when they played gambling, they cannot hope to win because that will depends on the luck. So people could play without thinking to win or not.

That is if he had that mentally now to spend and live lavishly. Hitting the winning jackpot in a lotto will change your life 360. But you also need to understand that all your money can disappear as well if you don't know how to take care of it.

Specially ordinary folks with this sudden luck. I'm not judging him, but most of the time those winners will just spend their money on everything until such day that they realized that all their money is gone and it's gonna be too late.

But the morals is that everyone can dream big.

Many people have a dream to win in gambling games, so they try to buy so many lottery tickets. Some of them can win some money, and the other people have to lose their money but only one person who will win the games with a big jackpot. That will be a person who has luck in the games. We can dream of becoming a winner, but we should remember that playing gambling cannot make us rich and have a lot of money.

Of course, also a janitor can become a billionaire if there is such a happy event in his life.  It seems to me that a gambler who has been playing gambling for almost all his life may not receive such a chanson as a completely random person can receive.

Lol I have known some people that buying lotto ticket since they’re young but until now in their old days still never got a chance to win even big offers of lottery
So basically this is all about luck and timing
Most of the time bettors of gambling like this making it as a hobby that can give a chance of becoming millionaire in just a matter of days
