In 2017, in Kono District, eastern Sierra Leone, a local mining team led by pastor and sponsor Emmanuel Momoh discovered an astonishing 709-carat diamond—the 14th largest ever found. Nicknamed the “Peace Diamond,” the gem was auctioned in New York for $6.5 million through a transparent government process.
Pastor Momoh ensured that 15% of the proceeds went toward local infrastructure: roads, schools, and clean water. He himself received a multi-million-dollar share but humbly said, “I just did the right thing.” His extraordinary luck became not only personal fortune but also a blessing for the entire community.

Gina Soriano, a Filipina domestic worker in Dubai, had been working overseas for ten years when she entered a summer prize draw while sending money home—and won 1 million dirhams (about $272,000). Her single entry this time brought her luck, making her the first female winner of the campaign.
Gina said she would use the money for her children’s education and, out of gratitude, planned to continue working as a maid. Her story is a heartwarming example of how everyday perseverance and kindness can bring unexpected rewards.
