Boredom ended up winning in a Raffle.
Is there anyone here who doesn't get bored? Is it possible to always feel happy or enjoy every moment? If there is and you belong , all I can say is " HOPE ALL"! LOL. You are indeed lucky then.
Weekends are such a boring day for me. Usually I am just staying in our staff house and I have mentioned in my previous articles that from having 14 occupants ( including me), we are only three left since the pandemic. The house we are staying in was spacious. With five bedrooms, 3 toilets, living rooms, kitchen , laundry area and even a garage. The two companions I have are old maids so we don't have the same trips whatsoever we wanted in life. Most of the time, they are just staying in their rooms.
Imagine how boring my life is? Having no one to talk to personally. Though I was thankful I found read and noise cash. It is the best to spend time with. Also thank you to all my VIRTUAL friends who spend their time and have conversations with me. It could be in two platforms or even in Telegram. You don't have an idea guys how you all saved my day..
Maybe you would suggest why not try going out? Not all the time my friends are available. Aside from that I don't want to spend much now as I am saving for our dream house.
How I survive a boring day.
It was already 1PM yesterday and I felt to bored! I don't even like to read articles or even visit my noise cash account. I just took my phone and browsed on Facebook. This post caught my attention.

Any idea why?
Did you see what I saw? I mean that MICKEY MOUSE SET? If you already know me, perhaps you are aware how crazy I am when it comes to Mickey mouse merchandise. However this set is for kids but due to my addiction I still send personal messages to the seller if the earring is available and could be used by adults.
Of course I don't want to lose hope.. Gladly the seller responded quickly. And YES, earrings could be for by adults too. I was happily talking to the seller and was supposed to reserve the item when she offered if I wanted to place a bet on " RIPA".
To those who are not familiar, " RIPA or PARIPA" is like a raffle. The proponent will let you choose a number for a certain amount. Winner will be determined through spin .The number shown after the spin is automatically eliminated. Until only ONE number left and that will be the winner. What will be the PRIZE? It varies depending on the offers. That is why the amount bet varies too.
If you asked me if this is legal? I am not sure. I know last year there was an issue about this and the government is claiming a permit should be secured first. Though I can say maybe it depends on the location.
So back to the seller's offer, one number costs $1 and the grand prize is already one set ( earring, necklace and ring). Let me clarify first. This is just a fashion jewelry.
The other side of me was saying, " Oh common Lhes, it's only $1. GO placed a bet". Since I was an obedient one, lol! YES I place a bet!
I was supposed to choose number 29 as it was my birthday date, yet it was already sold. So I chose number 32 instead. Why 32? Haha secret.
It was already 8PM last night when I received notification in my phone from Facebook. It was to let me know that the ONLINE SPIN for my bet had already started. I opened it late and I haven't found my name at the wheel so I thought I already lost .
I just thought as I was surprised upon seeing that my number is still FIGHTHING! NOT Only that, I was the one who WIN!
I never expected this, I never thought my boredom will end up winning in a raffle.
So what I got?
Of course MICKEY MOUSE SET. It costs $26.54 but since I just won it from RIPA seems like I bought this for $1.
Haha indeed a lucky day.
Oh I already received it earlier and this is how it look in actual.
Have anyone here have same experienced? Did you win in raffle of something you placed a bet too?
