What lengths would you go to in order to win the Lottery? Everyone knows that gambling winnings are purely based on luck, and there’s not much you can do to win except getting a ticket and hope for the best. Nonetheless, people pray, buy lucky charms, and have their fingers crossed.  Danyal Hussein, a British teen, did a lot more than just pray -  he made a pact with the evil forces in order to win the Lottery. 

It’s almost been half a year since Australians began receiving COVID-19 vaccines but until this day, only 15.5% of the country’s population received both doses. Government officials are displeased with the laughable number and are eager to get the vaccination rate to at least 70%. Since the majority are uninterested, the concerned leaders are debating the possibility of introducing the vaccine lottery. The Prime minister is on board while the Labor leader is pushing for $300. 

While the US is still in its developing stages of relentlessly trying to force the vaccine, countries like Philippines and Indonesia are on a full-blown madness roll. Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte, is threatening jail time, or an injection of Ivermectin (essentially meant for pigs) to residents who fail to comply. Being that a good portion of countries in Asia are forced into submission with fear tactics, it’s not surprising to see major businesses obey the orders at the snap of the government’s fingers. Resorts World Mainila casino representatives are boasting about their success in carrying out the commands.

Marina Bay Sands representatives call the new set of changes and regulations from the government “A New Normal” as they are closing down the casino section once again due to COVID-19 related issues. Phase 2 (heightened alert) triggered by the virus prompted the officials in Singapore to limit social gatherings to a maximum of 2 individuals and for all dining-in and F&B establishments to be closed again until August 2021.
