Lotto tickets as gifts

LOTTO. It has become common these days for some employers to give away lotto tickets to employees or workers instead of throwing birthday parties. One general merchandise store owner recently bought P1,000 worth of lotto tickets at P20-bet each for the swertres draw. "Mas maayo ni," he said, "kay sayon dag-on."

ANOTHER. Another businessman who has also been giving lotto tickets to his employees on his birthdays told an Ear informer that since he started this practice three birthdays of his ago, at least 12 of his workers had already won in the swer-tres draw. "Malipay tawon kaayo ang akong mga tawo kon hatagan og lotto tickets imbes birthday salo-salo kay pilay pa'ad makaigo unya kuwartang malabo," he said.
