A tricycle driver, a jeepney driver and a vegetable farmer are the lotto millionaires at the start of 2012. They won a combined P31,807,549.60 lotto jackpot.
The three winners, who actually won in the last week of December, came separately to claim their respective prizes.
The tricycle driver, 31, lives in Caloocan City.
He hit the winning combination — 28-02-24-17-05-06 — of the Dec. 29 Lotto 6/42 draw with P11.69 million.
The jeepney driver, 45, of Teresa, Rizal, is the biggest winner so far of 6 Digit (6D) lottery, grabbing the P10.4 million windfall for getting the drawn numbers 3-5-0-2-4-0 in the correct order with a P10 bet.
He got the numbers from his dream.
The vegetable farmer, 46, of Cabuyao, Laguna, placed six bets worth P60 in the Dec. 28 draw of Mega Lotto 6/45, one of them matching the winning numbers of 21-18-11-30-16-29, entitling him to the P9,674,082 pot at stake.
While searching for some lotto news, I found a very interesting story about a Cat worth P559 million pesos. (P43 x $13 million = 559 million)
Woman Leaves $13 Million to Her Cat
A former stray cat who was rescued from the streets has inherited a whopping $13 million from the woman who took him in. Who says kindness doesn't pay?
What do you give the cat who has everything — including millions in cash, property in various locales and his own personal human attendant? Lots of love, of course.
Tommaso, a 4-year-old former stray cat from Rome, is now living large after his well-to-do owner (and savior) bequeathed to him a fortune worth approximately $13 million.
Maria Assunta, who died two weeks ago at the age of 94, left her entire estate,
discreet and quiet, I knew very little of her private life. She only told me that she had suffered from loneliness a lot.”
The lucky cat Tommaso now lives with Stefania and another cat in a house outside of Rome. According to Anna Orrechioni, one of Assunta’s lawyers, the ailing woman had become very fond of Stefania. “We’re convinced that Stefania is the right person to carry out the old lady’s wishes,” Orrechioni told Il Messaggero newspaper. “She loves animals just like the woman she devoted herself to right up until the end.”
According to ABC News, Tommaso is the third most wealthy animal on the planet (if you can believe that). He’s preceded by Kalu the chimp, who was left $80 million ( 3 billion 4 hundred 40 million pesos) when his owner passed, and Gunther IV, who inherited $372 million (15 billion 9 hundred 96 million pesos) from his father — yep, another dog — who was the companion of a German countess.
