The Super Lotto 6/49 (Feb. 10, 2011) draw with a jackpot prize of P77,373,363.60 and with the winning combination of 1-6-9-24-40-44 was bought in La Union.
A buy-and-sell trader and his "pahinante" (helper) won the lotto jackpot.
They both signed the single winning ticket with two number combinations.
Each contributed P20 for the P40-ticket with two number combinations with an agreement to share the jackpot if one of the number-combinations won a prize.
When their ticket was validated and the lotto machine at the PCSO-Internal Audit Department (PCSO-IAD) declared "Pay" and after processing, they asked the PCSO treasury department to give them two checks each – in the amount of P38,686,681.80.
The first millionaire in 2011 with a jackpot prize of P61.31 million who won the Super Lotto 10-11-18-20-22-26 last Jan.4 2011 has not yet claimed his prize until now.
The P5.5 million from the Mega Lotto 6/45's P16 million-plus jackpot, the share of the third winner in Feb. 10, 2010 was forfeited this month after the winner failed to claim the prize.

So you want to be a millionaire ?
In lotto you can be a millionaire, but you have to hit the Jackpot first.
But for the meantime if you want to be a millionaire, you can be be a movie star, a international singer like Charice so you can earn in millions...
and in sports, you can be a millionaire or a billionaire if…
You train hard, work hard and fight hard like world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao.
Last year, Pacquiao made his debut in the Forbes’ list of Top 10 highest-paid athletes, finishing in a tie with basketball superstar LeBron James and golf champion Phil Mickelson with US $40 million or 2 billion Pesos
Remember way back then the all-around court savvy of basketball legend Alvin Patrimonio, who signed the first biggest paycheck in the PBA , P25.3 million spread over five years with Purefoods back in 1991 or 20 years ago.
The megabuck deal, which sparked the skyrocketing of players’ contracts, roughly translates to 5.06 million a year, P420,000 a month and P92,000 per game for Patrimonio.
So choose, if you are not lucky enough in winning the lotto and you want to be a millionaire... be a movie star, a international singer or a sportsman.
