What started as casual fun turned into a life-changing surprise for Leslie Ann Villanueva, a housewife from Batangas City, who just drove home the very first car in PlayTime’s massive “100 Cars, 1 Epic Giveaway” promo.

Leslie, who plays on the PlayTime online platform only occasionally and with modest amounts, never expected to win anything, let alone a brand-new 2025 Toyota Vios. “I just play for fun when I have extra money. I wasn’t trying to win—it’s just something I enjoy doing,” she said in a post-raffle interview streamed live on PlayTime’s official Facebook page.

Her unexpected win came from a pool of over 1.9 million entries, proving that sometimes, even the smallest of efforts can lead to the biggest rewards. With genuine surprise and gratitude, Leslie shared, “This is the first time I’ve ever won anything in a raffle. It feels like such a blessing.”

The surprise didn’t stop at the win. Laughing during the interview, she admitted they had no place to park the car at first. “As soon as we found out, my husband and I had the front yard cemented immediately. We had our parking spot ready the next day!”

Despite the thrill of winning, Leslie was quick to offer sound advice. “Online games can be fun, but always be responsible. Prioritize your family, only spend what you can afford, and never expect to win. Just enjoy the experience.”

PlayTime’s “100 Cars, 1 Epic Giveaway” continues until April 30, 2025, with 99 more cars up for grabs. To join, participants simply need to create an account at www.playtime.ph, link a mobile number, make a deposit, and play. Liking and following @ph.playtime on Facebook is also required to qualify.

With more draws on the horizon, who knows whose life will be changed next? Just like Leslie, your lucky day might be one play away.
