MANILA, Philippines — Here are the latest feel-good stories coming out of the Philippine Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
A 38-year-old company driver of Las Piñas, Metro Manila, bet the ages of his six children to win over P24-million from the Mega Lotto 6/45 jackpot last June 10.
A seaman from Zambales who snared the P12.6-million Lotto 6/42 jackpot last June 9 decides to honor his eight-month contract with a ship owner than immediately enjoy his winnings by breaching his contract.
And then there’s a retiree whose life would more likely begin at 57 after getting his hands on P15.7 million, the jackpot from Lotto 6/42 draw last May 31.
Lawyer Lauro A. Patiag, manager of the Internal Audit Department (PCSO-IAD), who usually interviews winners for their profile, said the driver who won works for an unnamed company
“They are really happy for their good fortune. The driver was particularly in a very happy mood. He said his first buy will be a house and lot because is just renting a house in Las Pinas,” said Patiag.
He said the company driver, who bets irregularly, used to have birth dates for his number combination, but replaced them a week ago with the ages of his children: 15-01-13-11-07-09.
It proved to be his lucky matched for the six-number winning set of the Mega Lotto 6/45 drawn last Friday.
Patiag said the driver placed the bet at a lotto outlet inside the South Supermarket in Muntinlupa City while on a company errand.
He added the driver told him he will put some amount for a business venture and save the rest for his children’s education.
Meanwhile, the seaman came down to Manila from Zambales last June 9 and bought his ticket before his flight on June 13 for his rendezvous with his ship, Patiag said.
The seaman stayed with a relative in Parañaque City where he placed bet combinations worth P60 in the Lotto 6/42 draw.
One of his six bets was based on ages and birth dates – 40-03-36-37-32-38, which gave him the P12.65- million bonanza.
Patiag said the seaman’s wife, who accompanied him to PCSO, asked her husband to forego his assignment because they now have the money to take it easy.
“But the seaman said he has to honor his eight months commitment with his ship or he could be in breach of contract. So, the couple will just put their winnings in the bank in the meantime,” said the PCSO official.
The third claimant is a male retiree who won the P15.7-M jackpot, also from 6/42 in the May 31 draw.
Patiag said the retiree, who has six children, placed a P10 Lucky Pick bet in Lapu-Lapu City, but only knew he won a week after when he had his ticket verified in a lotto outlet inside a mall.
Upon learning last Friday that he won in the 6/42 draw last May 31, he flew to Manila right away and claimed the jackpot, he said.
The retiree has no house and lot of his own, so that will be his first priority for his family, said Patiag. “He was really lucky: He has a single Lucky Pick bet and a very irregular bettor,” the PCSO-IAD head said.
As this developed, PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II said the Sunday draw of Super Lotto 6/49 with the winning set of 07-03-24-28-16-01 produced two winners who will share the P43,863,584.40 windfall at stake.
He said that from June 1 to 12 alone, the PCSO has made five lotto millionaires already, including the 60-year-old Bicolano carpenter who won Grand Lotto 6/55’s P356-million prize last June 1.
“We, in the PCSO, are happy that more bettors have realized their dreams for a better life through the lotto games, while they also help the agency’s charity mission for the needy and sick people,” said Rojas.
Patiag said there should be no doubt about lotto winners because they are featured in the media. On the other hand, the PCSO-IAD manager appealed to journalists not to
release any information that may put the winners’ life at risk.
