wow this is so true now that I remembered those days.



You will just keep coming back with more money and you will continue getting the smaller ones.
Me I really suffered especially those my teenage festive holidays people will be dashing me money.
I later discovered that the biggest one is always for the shop owner and they remove the number then sell it differently to the highest bidder or do with it whatever they like

I hate topics like this cos I didn't enjoy my childhood because I didn't live with my parents. I was suffering in the hands of my uncle and his terrible wife. I wasn't even allowed to go to sch. Was always abused, insulted, emotionally and physically assaulted. Till date, I don't know what love is. I can't love, and I don't want anybody to show me love. Loving me seems like you're about to hurt me.

May God judge all those who suppressed my childhood and denied me love. Thank you for making me timid even as an adult. But no worries, I'm trying to overcome it

They have actually removed a number then place the biggest balloon on the number they have removed. So u cannot never win the biggest balloon. They have been scamming us since.
