Do you have the winning Mega Lotto 6/45 ticket – 03-11-12-16-17-30 – in the draw last Feb. 10, 2010? Then, the deadline was yesterday Feb.10 2011, a one-year period to get your P5,502,883.80 share from the P16,508,651.40 jackpot.
The Feb. 10, 2010 Mega Lotto draw, three bettors correctly guessed the winning numbers. Two of them had already claimed their P5,502,883.80 bonanza.
Also still unclaimed after a month of the Jan. 4 2011 draw of Super Lotto 6/49 is the P61,313,194.80 prize.
In 2010, the PCSO was forced to forfeit P173.9 million and added the huge money to the Charity Fund after its owner failed to claim it in a year's time.
I think the winning lotto ticket holder just forgot about the ticket and maybe misplaced it or just throw it away in the trash Bin. Imagine throwing away P173.9 million ....
But I thought we need those money very badly?
Well, who needs those millions anyway?
Money laundering
Money laundering is defined as a crime in which proceeds of an unlawful activity are transacted through banks and other covered institutions.
Unlawful activities in the circular include kidnapping for ransom, drug trafficking, graft and corruption, plunder, robbery and extortion, illegal gambling, piracy on the high seas, qualified theft, swindling, smuggling, violations of e-commerce law, hijacking, fraudulent practices and felonies.
The law requires banks to detect and report covered and suspicious transactions. A covered transaction involves cash or other equivalent monetary instrument amounting to more than P500,000 within a banking day while suspicious transactions are those where there are no underlying legal or trade obligation, purpose or economic
justification.
The deals are also considered suspicious if the client is not properly identified or the amount involved is not commensurate with the business or financial capability of the client.
If you win the lotto jackpot, You thought it would only be PCSO and the Bank will know that you won a lotto jackpot. Your wrong because you will still be identified by the anti money laundering people because of the huge amount your going to transact with the bank.
Anyway, if we hit the lotto Jackpot. I think they are more safer than those people who would be claiming to be our relatives and friends.
