Still no winner for the 6/49 draw as of Feb 28.
This coming Sunday March 2, the jackpot prize will be more or less P105 million or $2.625 million [ US dollars ].
Sometimes its nice to read it in US dollars. This will be the 11th draw. This is how big, Manny Pacquiao earns his living.
He is about to receive more or less $4 million in his coming fight with Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez on March 15 in Las Vegas win or lose.
When Manny Pacquiao first set foot in San Francisco seven years ago, he was a nobody with barely enough pocket money.
Pacquiao first arrived in San Francisco in May 2001 with only former manager Rod Nazario by his side.
He was totally unknown with no American television exposure to speak of.
A side trip in Los Angeles, however, changed his life forever. There, he met trainer Freddie Roach and was inserted into the under card of the Oscar De La Hoya-Javier Castillejo fight against the feared International Boxing Federation super bantamweight champion Lehlohonolo Ledwaba of South Africa.
That started it all, who Manny Pacquiao is now, a rags to riches story.
This could also happen to you if you will have a side trip to a lotto outlet before Sundays draw. who knows the jackpot prize of $2.625 million is waiting for you.
