Does luck come with a price tag?
This Saturday (October 24), Wish Ko Lang! presents a compelling story about a couple whose life was transformed by lottery.
Nora (Katrina Halili) and her husband Rex (Dominic Roco) have long been struggling financially. Because he has no money, Rex cannot go home and has been stranded in the province. Nora is left with the company of her son Louie (Miggs Cuaderno) and her friend Beverly (Divine).
Nora’s life changes when one day, she dreams of the winning combination to the lottery. Her dream becomes real and Nora wins the lottery. With the amount she won, Nora became instantly rich. But it seems being lucky has a price. One night, a group of armed men barges into Nora’s mansion. Will her family survive the attack?
Katrina admits trying out her luck in the lottery before, “Nasubukan ko nang tumaya sa lotto, pero hindi pa ako nananalo.” But this does not mean she has not experienced life moments that feel like she won the lottery.
“Para sa akin ang trabaho ko, na patuloy pa rin hanggang ngayon, ang pamilya ko at ang anak ko na nasa maayos na kalusugan—para sa akin, winning moment ko ‘yun,” the Starstruck alumna adds.
Meanwhile, Dominic shares that while he has not tried playing the lottery, he considers his acting award as his biggest winning moment to date. “Never ko pa sinubukan tumaya sa lotto. Ang pinaka-jackpot sa buhay ko ay nung nanalo ako ng award,” he says, referring to the Best Actor nod he received at the 2015 QCinema International Film Festival for the film ‘Sleepless’.
Migs also sees his acting awards as his winning moments in life. “Yung isang bagay po na parang nanalo ako sa lotto ay nung 9 years old po ako nang manalo ako sa Paris, France ng Best Actor at sa Cinemalaya ng Best Supporting Actor. Alam ko na wala pong bata [na kasing edad ko] na nananalo dun [20th Cheries Cheris Film Festival at Cinemalaya] at ‘yun din ang sabi nila sa akin. Kaya ‘yung feeling ko po nun gabing yun parang tumama ako sa jackpot.”
