If you play your “briefcase” right and luck is on your side, there’s a lot of money waiting to be won on “Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal.” We’re talking prizes that could go all the way up to P1 million, an amount that can change someone’s life.

That’s why for the Lucky Players who get their shot at the game, not only do they make sure to pick the right briefcases but they also have to think carefully about where their prize money would go. In this Kapamilya Toplist video, we compiled some of the most heartfelt, practical, and even funny ways the Lucky Players planned to spend their winnings.



Vilma Santos and Jessy Mendiola were extra motivated to bring home a big prize, as they wanted to donate to charity. Vilma chose the Vilma Santos Foundation, just like she did with her winnings the first time she played on the show, while the other half would go to the CHILD Haus Foundation. And since the money was going to meaningful causes, plus it was his birthday episode, host Luis Manzano made the game even sweeter by promising to double whatever Vilma and Jessy would win.

Known as one of the most generous stars in showbiz, Jodi Sta. Maria promised to give the prize money to the Kythe Foundation, which supports children with chronic illnesses.

Of course, some Lucky Players had to sneak in a joke before getting sentimental. Arizona Brandy said that if she won P1 million, she’d give the whole amount to her mom and ask her to deposit it straight into her bank account. But kidding aside, Arizona really wanted it to go to her mom as a way of giving back for all her hard work and sacrifices.

Everyone was left in stitches when Inah Evans jestingly shared her plan to open a restaurant called “Inah Resto,” with the tagline, “Makukulong kayong lahat sa sarap.”

AC Bonifacio’s golden heart really showed with this one. She said that if she ever bag the cveted P1 million prize, she’d use it to help kids in the hospital, a cause close to her heart since she has this tradition of spending every birthday with sick children.

Long Mejia may be a joker but he's serious about being generous. If he won the P1 million, he’d share it with his family and use part of it to help others as well.

The same goes for Pepay, who wrapped her answer in humor, but was really eager to support people in need, with part of her prize going to a foundation for the homeless.

Meanwhile, Kim Rodriguez thought of three street children she had become friends with who lost their home in a fire, and said that whatever amount she bagged, she would share her blessings with them.

With a soft spot for animals, Kolette Madelo planned to donate her winnings to an animal shelter, prompting Luis to joke that Long and Negi would be getting assistance from Kolette. LOL!

As a 'laking lola,' Rave Victoria wanted to dedicate his prize money to a charity for the elderly.
