LOTTO BETTORS. Lotto bettors, mostly taxi and PUJ drivers, having lunch in a “pungko-pungko†eatery in Lahug expressed their opposition to the PCSO's hiking of the betting minimum from P10 to P20. Even if the jackpot prize is doubled.
MILLIONS. The drivers said the usual jackpot prize already runs into millions. “Bisan lima ka million lang ang premyo sa among P10 nga pusta, dako na kaayo na,†said one driver. “Di na mistel pa nga padak-an ang pusta ug premyo total bisan mo puti ang uwak daghan man ang di makadaug.â€
