Man dies after winning lotto jackpot

Security guard wins P48M lotto jackpot.

A security guard, the lone winner of the October 17,2011 6/45 Mega Lotto jackpot prize, claimed his prize on Monday.

The security guard, a 40-year-old San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan resident, was the winner of the P47,959,961.40 jackpot prize.

He used the winning combination of 9-7-22-6-10-41.

He said he will donate part of his money to his local church, while the rest will be used to pay his house’s mortgage.

The winner, who has 2 children, said he also plans to build a new business using his money.

The winner, a regular lotto bettor, placed two P10 “Lucky Pick“ (LP) bets. An LP bet means that the numbers were chosen by the computer.



The man who won the lottery , died from a heart attack that same day.


Donald Peters has got to be both the luckiest and unluckiest man on the day of his death. Well, unlucky because he suffered a heart attack and died, but lucky because he just bought the winning lottery ticket that provided for his family. The Peters children think their father would have appreciated the irony.

Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven store as part of a 20-year tradition he shared with his wife Charlotte. Later that day, the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his yard in Danbury.

Donald Peters usually bought the tickets for 10 weeks at a stretch, so the winning ticket he bought was among several that Charlotte Peters put aside as she, their three children and two grandchildren coped with his sudden death
$10M lottery ticket Donald Peters bought before death will help wife and family.


DANBURY, Conn. - One of Donald Peters' final acts has resulted in a lasting legacy of financial security for his wife of 59 years and their family.

On Nov. 1, Peters bought two Connecticut Lottery tickets at a local 7-Eleven store as part of a 20-year tradition he shared with his wife, Charlotte. Later that day, the 79-year-old retired hat factory worker suffered a fatal heart attack while working in his Danbury yard.

On Friday, his widow cashed in one of the tickets: a $10 million winner which, in her grief over her husband's death, she had put aside and almost discarded before recently checking the numbers.
"I'm numb," Charlotte Peters, 79, said Friday at Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Rocky Hill. "I'm still numb."

Donald Peters had been purchasing lottery tickets for himself and his wife for two decades, picking his own numbers and making sure to sprinkle lots of odd numbers in Charlotte's as she liked.

He usually bought them for 10 weeks at a stretch, so the winning ticket he bought Nov. 1 for the Dec. 2 drawing was among several that Charlotte Peters put aside as she and her three children and two grandchildren coped with his sudden death.
In fact, she said she almost tossed the winning ticket in the trash.

"I was in the grocery store and I had it checked and they told me I was a winner," she said. "I had no idea how much it was."
She said more surprises came when she claimed her winnings Friday. Originally thinking she'd won $6 million, she was surprised to learn from lottery officials she'd won $10 million.

True to his wife's wishes, Donald Peters had picked a ticket in which five of the six numbers were odd: 02-07-09-11-27-33.

Charlotte Peters has 60 days to decide whether to take a $6 million pre-tax lump sum payment or stretch the winnings into 21 yearly payments of almost $477,300 each.

She does not yet know what she will do with the money, and plans to consult an accountant and lawyer.

Lotto Curse ?

Sad stories of lotto jackpot winners....

Every week, millions of people buy lottery tickets in the hope that this week, finally, it will be their turn to win big. But is being a lottery millionaire all it’s made out to be? Not according to this sorry bunch...

Who wants to be a millionaire? Most people, surely (except billionaires or course). But sadly, winning a truck-load of money on the lottery, any lottery, comes with a heap of baggage.

Day dreams of a millionaire lifestyle seem to have a habit of turning sour faster than a sub-prime mortgage – isolation, paranoia, drugs, crime, poverty and prison await those who fail to adjust, as this top ten of ‘Lottery Losers’ shows:

1. Jack Whittaker won a record $314.9m Powerball jackpot in 2002.
But life since then has been a long list of arrests, lawsuits, broken relationships and even death. In 2007, his then wife, Jewell admitted she wished she had ‘torn up the ticket’.

2. William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988.
He later described the experience as a ‘nightmare’ and wishes it had never happened – who can blame him after he was sued by a former girlfriend eager to get her hands on the cash and his brother hired a hitman in the hope of inheriting the winnings. He invested in ill-fated family businesses and within a year was $1m in debt. Today he gets by on social security payments.

3. Luke Pittard from Wales won a ‘measly’ £1.3m on the National Lottery.
After the novelty had worn off and the obligatory lavish holiday, wedding and new home were done and dusted, he got bored and returned to work at MacDonalds.

4. An as-yet-unnamed Sicilian won £79m on the Italian lottery in 2008.
Before he or she could even collect the winnings consumer groups were demanding that the windfall be seized by the government. The winner has since gone into hiding, fearing the Mafia will come calling.

5. Janite Lee won $18 million in 1993.
Her generosity in giving money to a variety of political, educational and community causes was commendable – but just eight years later she filed for bankruptcy.

6. Mark Gardiner from London won £11m in 1995.
Thirteen miserable years later, he hasn’t lost his money, but he has lost all his friends - even the ones he treated to new £100,000 homes – and lost touch with his family.

7. Michael Carroll won a £9.7m National Lottery jackpot in 2002.
Since then he has appeared in court more than 30 times and been jailed for drug related offences. In 2008, he admitted that ‘just’ £500,000 of his windfall remained.

8. Willie Hurt won $3.1 million in 1989.
Two years later the money was gone and he was on a murder charge. Hurt spent his fortune on a divorce and crack cocaine.

9. Charles Riddle won $1 million in 1975.
The original lottery car crash, he quickly got divorced, faced several lawsuits and was eventually indicted for selling cocaine.

10. Ken Proxmire won $1 million in the Michigan lottery.
He moved to California, and invested in a car business with his brothers. Five years later, he was bankrupt and back working as a machinist.

Lucky Brothers .....

Three lucky bettors will share P94.897 million after hitting the jackpot in Sunday (Oct.9, 2011) night's Superlotto 6/49 draw.

Two of the three winners of the P94,897,000 jackpot prize in the 6/49 Super Lotto draw last Sunday are biological brothers.

A government soldier and his brother won P31,632,333.60 each after they both bet on the winning number combination 5-25-8-21-17-6.

According to them, the combination is based on their birth dates and their parents’ birth dates.

They said they plan to use the cash to start a business and buy a house and lot.

The third winner of the 6/49 Super Lotto jackpot prize is a bettor from Boac, Marinduque.


The winners placed their bets for the Super Lotto 6/49 draw in lotto outlets on F.B. Harrison St., Pasay City; Soldiers’ Mall, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City; and Boac, Marinduque.


The winning combination had been maintained by the elder brother, 48, a soldier whose duty often takes him out of town and who usually asks his brother the electrician, 45, to buy a P20 lotto ticket so that they would not miss the draw.


Last Sunday, the soldier, who was then on duty at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City, sent a text message to his brother requesting him to buy a lotto ticket as usual. The younger brother bought one ticket for P20 at the lotto outlet along Harrison St. in Pasay City.

The soldier, however, had another idea and went out to the Soldiers’ Mall near Camp Aguinaldo and also bought one lotto ticket using the same number combination that his younger brother used. The number combination later won the Super Lotto jackpot.

The soldier has five children while his younger brother has two kids.

The younger brother had left his family in Davao City to look for work in Manila.


Aside from the 3 jackpot prize winners, 549 players won the P56,000 second prize, and 5,424 won the third prize of P1,000 each.


Super Lotto 6/49 now has 25 jackpot winners this year who won a total of P760,890,719.20.

Multiple winners of a single lotto jackpot are not rare. It happened once this year in the Mega Lotto 6/45 draw last January 7 with six winners sharing the P4,955,526 jackpot.


A few years ago, a police official also shared the lotto jackpot with his police aide whom he sent to buy the lotto tickets.

The police official had maintained the number combination that also represents the birthdays of family members.

The official usually sent his aide to buy lotto tickets at the PCSO outlet near Camp Crame in Quezon City, but the aide also placed his bets on the number combination of his boss.

Lotto winning tips...

MANILA, Philippines — A 35-year-old married Ilongga of Iloilo City Thursday joined the lotto instant millionaires' club as she claimed her winnings Wednesday of P8,221,248 from the Sept. 24 draw of Lotto 6/42.

PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II said three Lucky Pick bets worth P30, where the lotto computer selected the numbers.

The winner came with her husband and her mother when she claimed the 6/42 jackpot on Oct. 5 in the afternoon at the PCSO headquarters in Pasay City, he added.

Meanwhile, the biggest winner in September last month, who hit the P72.5-million jackpot in the Grand Lotto 6/55 draw on Sept. 28 still has to claim the bonanza, said Patiag.

While searching for a lotto story, I found a great article that can help you win the lotto .

If you want to win the lottery, you need this tips.

Have you ever dreamt of winning the Lottery? Can you imagine how it must feel?... Maybe you constantly tell people that you are destined to one day win the lottery jackpot...

In a recent lottery survey, lottery jackpot winners were asked if they had ever thought the same thing. 38 % of the winners stated that they had always believed they would win the lottery, and more than half said that they had dreamt that it would happen. 51% of the lottery winners said they had always considered that they were 'fortunate' people.

So, could positive thinking and the law of attraction hold the key?...

Recently, there is more and more talk about the law of attraction. Basically, it says that like attract like, and that what we 'think' about most, we attract into our lives. Now, before I loose you, let me just say that this is a Universal Law, and just like gravity although we can not see it, we know it exists.

Basically, it means that whatever thoughts we focus on the most, we will attract into our lives. If you are always dreaming of winning the lottery, then you are attracting this to you. On the flip side, telling people how 'unlucky' you are will just create more 'bad luck' in your life. Wait a minute, I can hear you squealing 'If that's the case, how come I'm not a lottery millionaire? I'm always telling people that I will win it one day, and dreaming of getting the big one'

The law is very simple, however most of us will have very unfocused thoughts running around our head. So you may one minute be saying "I want to win the lottery" and the law of attraction will be set into motion. Then your mind will try and rationalize with you and say "Stop being silly, you'll never win" In that very moment, you are cancelling out your wish to win the National Lottery and stopping the flow of energy.

What we now know is that emotions will increase your thought vibrations so as soon as you start feeling that you can't win, this will push your dream even further out of your grasp.

By simply understanding how the Law of Attraction works, and choosing to change your thoughts so that they are positive, you will be able to manifest more of your desires. If you have a deep rooted belief that you are unlucky' or always broke' then you may find you have to work harder at this whole manifestation lark you may want do a bit more research into the law. One great starting place is to watch The Secret' this movie has transformed many thousands of people's lives Worldwide and you can watch the first 20 minutes for free on YouTube.

Following are some top tips on how to improve your chances for winning the lottery:

1.Decide how much you want to win on the lottery

Write this figure down on several bits of paper and put around the house or office where you will see it often. For example, on the fridge, on the ceiling above your bed, next to the computer. It needs to be a figure you believe' if you want a million pounds but your mind screams dream on', then choose a figure that is more acceptable to you.

2.Say Affirmations

Every morning and evening, look at this figure and say I have won X pounds on the lottery and all of my dreams are coming true 'replacing X with the amount you desire. You can make up your own lottery affirmations; make sure that you say the sentence as if it has already happened, that it is in the present tense. Jump up and down; scream Thank You!' picture in your mind what you would do, get excited and feel grateful

3.Visualize

Before getting out of bed and just before dropping off to sleep, imagine what you would do with the money, how you would feel visualize how that amount of money would look like.

4.Feel thankful that you will win the lottery

Believe that the winning ticket is coming to you! Feel grateful

5.Buy a ticket!

This is the most important step. To give yours dreams a chance, you MUST take action. It is amazing how many people say they plan on winning the lottery but never get off their sweet behind to buy a ticket.
