Article (news)

After weeks of waiting for her chance to play &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/kapamilya-deal-or-no-deal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kapamilya, Deal Or No Deal</a>,&quot; Lucky Star Kolette Madelo finally took the stage as a celebrity player after the Lucky Wheel landed on her assigned briefcase number 2, during the game show&#x27;s July 18 episode.First winning the hearts of viewers as a housemate on &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11</a>,&quot; the 3rd Big Placer shared in her fun-filled introduction video how her stint inside Bahay ni Kuya opened doors to life-changing opportunities. From launching her own album to landing teleserye roles in &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/sins-of-the-father" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sins of the Father</a>&quot; and &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/what-lies-beneath" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Lies Beneath,</a>&quot; Kolette continues to establish herself as one of the industry&#x27;s rising stars.When asked about her plans for the ₱1 million jackpot, Kolette told host Luis Manzano that she hoped to use her potential winnings to support animal shelters.Having frequently encountered the number four, Kolette took it as a sign and swapped her assigned briefcase number 2, for briefcase number 4.Determined not to dwell on her decision, the celebrity player chose to open her original briefcase first, revealing the ₱125,000 cash prize. However, later in the same round, Kolette was left stunned after eliminating the ₱1 million jackpot from the board.Entering the second round with renewed hope, Kolette avoided going home as a &quot;Pisonaryo&quot; after eliminating the ₱1 amount. Her celebration, however, was short-lived as she went on to knock out the ₱100,000, ₱500,000, and ₱150,000 prizes in succession.With the pressure mounting, Kolette sought help from a friend—&quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PBB Gen 11</a>&quot; Big Winner Fyang Smith. Confident in her lucky number, Fyang suggested briefcase number 1, believing it contained one of the lower amounts on the board. Her intuition proved correct when the briefcase revealed just ₱200.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2026/7/18/fyang-sinuportahan-ang-kaibigang-si-kolette-sa-kapamilya-deal-or-no-deal-2100" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WATCH: Fyang, sinuportahan ang kaibigang si Kolette sa Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal</a></div>Kolette&#x27;s string of bad luck continued into the succeeding rounds as she eliminated the ₱50,000 and ₱250,000 cash prizes. By the sixth round, the highest amount left on the board was just ₱5,000, prompting her fellow Lucky Stars to jokingly stand up and pretend to leave when it was revealed inside briefcase number 15.With only the ₱300 and ₱400 cash prizes remaining, Kolette ultimately accepted the Banker&#x27;s final offer of ₱350, saying she planned to use the money to buy food for her cat. Although her chosen briefcase contained the ₱400 prize, she looked back on the experience with gratitude and excitement.Catch more fun and exciting moments on &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/kapamilya-deal-or-no-deal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kapamilya Deal or No Deal</a>,&quot; airing Saturdays and Sundays at 7:30 PM on ALLTV2, Kapamilya Channel, TV5  A2Z, and Kapamilya Online Live, or stream anytime on <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant!</a>
