FAMILY FEUD. PCSO’s Lotto nearly caused family feud between a husband and his wife. Mr. Husband was betting on a Suertres combination which he had been maintaining for a year. The number came out but he didn’t win.

WIFEY FORGOT

. Mr. Husband was in Mindanao on a business trip. He told Mrs. Wife not to forget to buy the number combination before he left for Mindanao. But Mrs. Wife forgot. Some P9,000 winnings for two tickets went down the drain. Of course, Mr. Husband got mad but cooler heads intervened. “Kuwarta lang na,” one neighbor told Mr. Husband.
