It was the day Typhoon Ondoy struck Metro Manila. Outside of SM North EDSA, flood waters were rising. The stretch from EDSA/Roosevelt Ave to Balintawak was experiencing floodwaters more than a 2-storey house high. People were climbing the still-under-construction LRT Roosevelt Station Rails just to cross over to Roosevelt Ave. The Mall Admin Office where my Lotto was located finally announced we have to close by 5pm.

When 5pm came and we started to close, customers who could not bet in other Lotto outlets due to the floods were rushing to bet with us and they were complaining WHY DO WE HAVE TO CLOSE SO EARLY!!!!
How about that? The Lotto business is weather-resistant and all-weather (the mall has a generator set in case of power failure). I talked to some lotto players and they said they have been betting on the same number combination since 1995 when the lotto in the philippines started and they have to bet every day as they never know when their numbers will win!
There is that fear that their numbers will win on the day they decide not to play (and this has happened to some of my Lotto customers already).
