Man Wins $ 10,000 Beer Ringpull at his House Warming Party

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

A heart-warming house warming this week:

Cambodia Breaking News (Phnom Penh): Mr. Lek Sosal had a wonderful surprise when he won 40,000,000 riel, equivalent to US$10,000, from a Cambodia Beer ring-pull at his house warming party.

Mr. Kosal said, " I had US$10,000 to build my house, but the total cost was $20,000, so I decided to take a $10,000 loan from the bank. Now I have won $10,000 from Cambodia Beer, so I am able to repay my bank loan right away. Normally, with my job, it would take me six years to pay off my loan, so I am very very happy."
Cheers everyone.

Didn't think it was actually real, never heard of it all these years, about 2 yrs ago I was drinking outside a mini mart on 118 chatting with a tuk tuk driver, he bought me a beer, so I bought him one back, he cracked it and started running up and down the road screaming, I thought calm down its only a free beer, he says no, 'I just won a tv", says you bought me the beer I will sell it and give you half the money!, said no you enjoy yr new tv, love seeing the man on the street winning, I always thought those 'special' beers all went to hoity toity parties.

Yes, I had to wait a few weeks but got the full amount. A few locals tried to say the company would try to pay less but that turned out to be BS.

If not, JB could have gone to a local news outlet and become an instant celebrity claiming barang discrimination.. :good:
