《Monillas: Human Garbage》A Devil

Advertisement

Gambling is illegal in the Philippines. The only gamble that is allowed in this country are the lottery they call a "Lotto". Some workers do this kind of thing for a chance to change their lives.

But in this Lotto, It's near impossible to get the jackpot. To get the jackpot, you need to pinpoint 8 numbers correctly. For example, if your number is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Then, the Lotto needs to draw that exact 8 numbers.

You have 10% chance to win the jackpot if the number you need to win is only one number. You just need to predict that number from 1-100, making your chances to 10%. But... let's add 7 numbers to that, and the fact that they have to choose from 1-100.

10 - 70 = -60!!! It means, that you only have the chances of at least, 0.6%!!! Adding to the fact that... the whole nationwide!!! If there are at least 3 Million people on Philippines, your chances of winning the jackpot with that much rivalry would make it... 0.1,000,000%!!!

A one in a million chance!!! A gamble near impossible to win! But people are still doing this... why? Because even If their chances are low, they still believe that they have this luck!!! A luck needed to win! Even If It's faint sense of hope, they still followed it! As if being a child following their mother... only to know that the woman they're following... is not their mother!!!

"Isn't this kind of Casino illegal!?"

Immediately said by Antonio. Casinos are illegal in the Philippines but...

"Antonio, do you know the saying? A problem is not a problem as long as no one sees it as one."

Yanlei retorted! As long they're not caught...everything is fine! People are going to Casinos because some are sick of playing gamble where luck is the deciding factor. They like Gambles where he himself can decide it. In short, a battle of minds! A Psychological Battle!!!

Jose looked around at the casino and saw all kinds of gambles nearby. There's Sabong, Poker, Solitaire, Mahjong, Barracats. All of them is different. Another thing... this Casino doesn't use chips. It uses real money... real pesos!!!

Seeing that large amount of money in front of their eyes... Antonio and Jose are both in a daze. Unable to know what they're going to do next! Yanlei clapped his hands to wake the two up and said...

"Okay, guys! You could choose out of this gambles, what would you like best?"

"But Yanlei... I don't have my money right now and I don't think I'll do this kind of thing either."

Jose is hesitating! In a gamble, you'll bet your money and if you lose... your money will lose along with you! The money he's got is his only lifeline! Losing it would be... the end!!! Seeing Jose's hesitation, Yanlei... made a move!!!

"Jose, do you know what you're saying? You don't have anyone to borrow money, right!? It means that this is the only way left for you to get money! Your last ray of hope! Don't worry, I will lend you 2,500 Pesos for the meantime. Just pay it when you win big."

Jose listening to Yanlei... was faced with a choice. Continue or leave? Seeing that large amount of money... his mind can't leave that image. The large. amount of money he just saw earlier is like a poison who seeps into his mind! He can't leave that image in his head!!!

"If... if... by chance, I won... that money will be mine, right?"

Stuttering, Jose asked for confirmation. Yanlei on the other hand, was smirking...

"Of course! It will be yours!!!"

"Then... I'm in!!!"

At that time, Antonio didn't saw Jose being convinced by Yanlei. More like... he saw a devil...whispering to Jose.
