00:00I got a call around 10.30, 10.35 something, I thought it's a prank call because I was

00:10in a hurry going to the hospital with my wife, so I thought it's a prank call.

00:14Then suddenly one of my colleagues called me, he was watching Facebook Live, so he said

00:19it's your name, have you purchased a ticket, then I said yes.

00:23Then continuously I got calls from my friends, that's the way I realized that it's me, then

00:28I checked the number, I'm very happy, I'm shocked also, really shocked, because we never

00:35expected that we'll get, because this is our fourth ticket, and we had no plan at all to
