1 Dante trying his luck.

Dante is just your average man, working in a BPO company. His looks is also average, nothing special about his character. He is a very hardworking man. He very often do overtime just to help his parents have a good life. During his break time, he received a text message from his parents about a serious problem. His dad was addicted to gambling and now, he use the house's deeds as a bet and lost. Now, the gambling house is getting the house as payment and they don't know where to get the money to get their house back. They need to have 4 hundred thousand peso to pay for the house and gave them 3 days to settle this, if not they will claim the house and his parents will lose their home. Since Dante only have around 5 thousand peso on his bank account so he told his mother that he will ask for help from his friends.

He contacted all his friends and ask for help but no one helped him. He is now helpless. After he got off to work, he checked online for personal loans but he didn't find any. While browsing, a pop up suddenly appeared before him. It states " Extreme win win win lottery!!! In need of money? Try your luck now!" The pop up's design's design seems legit but you know about pop ups. Since he's so desperate of money, he Clicked on it and he was directed to a page where in there's a typical lottery machine. The page states that the lottery will start in just 5 minutes. He's really desperate for money so he clicked on the "Enter lottery" button.

As a new page loads, he was shocked with what he saw. For you to enter the lottery, you'll need to have at least 5 thousand pesos. That's the cost per lottery. The other thing that shocked him was the price for winning is $347,892,657. Freaking three hundred forty seven million, eight hundred ninety two thousand, six hundred fifty seven Dollars!! He is tempted to play however, he's not quite sure if this lottery is legit or bogus, He needed the money but if he played and lost, he wont have any money to add for him to pay the gambling house. There was no way he can find 400 thousand peso in just a matter of 3 days. The page says "3 minutes remaining before the lottery starts" There is a disclaimer that this will be the last time they will run the lottery. If no one wins, the amount will be given to charities around the country. Dante is desperate, he really, really need the money. After a minute of thinking, he decided to give it a go. Its a do or die chance for him. He was asked for his bank account number so the site can collect the amount and it will be used in case that the player won the lottery. The payment was made and he now gets to choose the numbers. With this specific lottery, you'll need to pick 5 numbers from 1 to 56. With 1 minute left, he wasn't able to think about the numbers to pick. he just randomly clicked on a number. What he chose was 12, 7, 16, 35 and 55. After choosing the numbers, it was just 5 seconds before the lottery begins.. 5...4...3...2...1... Another pop up was shown stating "Lets start the lottery!! the lucky numbers will be shown in a while". After a while, the page was refreshed.
