Versatile entertainer Inah Evans couldn't help but scream in anticipation as the Lucky Wheel finally selected her assigned briefcase number, officially making her the celebrity player for the June 27 episode of "Kapamilya, Deal Or No Deal."
As the breadwinner of her family, Inah shared in her introduction video that she spent 13 years working as a call center agent before venturing into the world of content creation. Her journey eventually led her to meet and work alongside Asia's Unkabogable Superstar Vice Ganda. Her rise to fame ultimately brought her to the "Kapamilya, Deal Or No Deal" stage as one of the show's celebrity Lucky Stars.
Thinking about what she would do if she won the elusive ₱1 million jackpot prize, the content creator shared her dream of starting a restaurant business. In jest, Inah said she would name it "Inah-Resto" (a play on the Filipino word arestado, or "arrested"), complete with the equally hilarious tagline, "Makukulong kayong lahat sa sarap."
She later decided to give up her assigned briefcase number 7 in exchange for Kolette Madelo's briefcase number 2. Sticking to her strategy of eliminating her fiercest beauty rivals first, Inah ended the first round on a high note after successfully taking ₱10, ₱50, ₱100, and ₱300 off the board early in the game.
Her celebration, however, was short-lived as she consecutively revealed the ₱150,000, ₱500,000, and ₱250,000 cash prizes in the second round. Still, Inah found some relief in knowing she wouldn't be going home as a "Pisonaryo" after following drag queen Arizona Brandy's advice to choose her assigned briefcase.
Misfortune continued to haunt the comedian in the third round, where she eliminated both the ₱100,000 and ₱125,000 prizes. With the pressure mounting, Inah turned to her fellow Lucky Stars for guidance. Their exchange eventually led to the mention of her special someone, Shawn, who happened to be in the audience during the taping.

After Shawn shared that he cherished their sweet moments together, Inah put her cat-tail accessory to use as she playfully crawled onto the stage, struggling to contain her kilig. Pambansang Host Luis Manzano then asked Shawn to choose one of the briefcases for the fourth round, leaving everyone on set stunned when it revealed the coveted ₱1 million jackpot prize.
With all of the higher cash amounts already off the board, Inah decided to see the game through until the very end. By the final round, only ₱400 and ₱5,000 remained. Trusting her instincts, she declined the Banker's final offer of ₱2,222 and ultimately walked away with the ₱5,000 prize hidden inside her chosen briefcase.
Still in high spirits after her win, Inah quipped, "Grabe, 'di pala 'to biro! Parang muntik na akong maging lalaki." Luis capped off the episode by thanking Inah for bringing laughter and entertainment to Kapamilyas throughout the game.
