NON-WINNER. A family was ganged up on by some neighbors who, hearing that someone in this family had won millions in super lotto, flocked to the said family to ask for barato or balato. Strong denials by the family head didn't work. Some neighbors even stoned the house in the evening.

SOLVED. The trouble was solved only when it was learned and confirmed by the neighbors that the winner of the particular number combination that caused the whole trouble was in Manila. “No one said sorry,” The Ear informer said.
