“I’ve known about Big Ticket for a long time, but I never got the chance to participate until last month. I purchased two tickets and got one free. I selected the tickets with the birth dates of my mother, my husband, and myself, and the ticket with my birthday numbers was the winning one.”
When asked about her plans for her prize, she said, “This prize came at the right time, we will use it to buy a house.” Excited by her win, Natalia added, “If you had asked me about Big Ticket a month ago, I would have said it’s just a raffle, but after winning, my opinion completely changed. I will keep trying my luck—one day, I will win the grand prize”
When asked if she had any parting words for Big Ticket customers who continue to try their luck every month, she said, “Keep trying your luck, Big Ticket is real”
