As of today June 1, 2012 Friday the Jackpot prize of 6/45 is estimated to reach P33 million and the draw is today.
The lotto jackpot prize of 6/55 is estimated to reach P55 million tomorrow.
The lotto jackpot prize of 6/49 is estimated to reach P 75 million by Sunday's draw.
This will take a time again to have 3 straight big draws.
As of Yesterday the 6/42 draw with a jackpot prize of P12 million has been won already and this is going to be a winners week for 2 to 3 jackpot draws.
Now my advice to all is, bet all this draws with 2 bets each with 1 chosen number combinations and add 1 lucky pick bet.
I hope this time my fellow lotto bettors this is it for you and you better believe it this time.
While searching for some lotto news I found a story that being a lotto winner sometimes comes with a burden.
Sarah Myers is alone.
She lost most of her friends and family. Her ability to trust.
All because of one ticket. One $23 million ( 966 million pesos) Powerball ticket.
“I’m never treated like a person any more. I hate that,” Myers said, her voice cracking. “To most people, I’m a bank.”
Winning the lotto, many players believe, would be the best thing to ever happen to them. To suddenly find yourself living a life of luxury, with no more worries about bills. New cars, new houses, trips, leisure.
But as those little white lotto balls pop from the tumbler, most players aren’t thinking about the warnings.
People will call looking for money. Your friends and family, attorneys, charity groups, financial planners, lawyers. Relatives you never even knew you had will come forward.
Your mail box will fill with requests from strangers — some with sick family members, others just plain desperate or greedy — all wanting a piece of your winnings.
The truth is, very few lotto players think they will actually win the jackpot. so finding yourself suddenly rich is always shocking to some degree.
“The reason it’s popular and fun because it allows people to dream about what that will be like, “That’s what the buck or two is buying you — that great feeling, and the chance to win money.”
It was a “miracle” when Sarah Myers won.
Once a factory worker living paycheck to paycheck, Myers and her husband were instant millionaires.
They built a dream home from them and their three children. Myers and her husband each got a new Dodge.
And they gave a lot of the money away. Some went to the Salvation Army. Some went to Amish neighbors. Some went to the eight children she sponsors overseas.
But the more money Myers gave away, the more friends and family she seemed to lose. Extended family members kept asking for money. She helped many: Myers bought about 20 cars and handed out more money over the years.
But if she questioned someone’s need or said no, she often lost that person from her life.
People around the winners change, . “People are in awe of winning that kind of money,.
Despite winning the lotto, Myers kept her job at the factory to stay grounded. But her co-workers told her she was stealing a job from someone else who needed it.
“Sometimes you feel like you’re all alone. It’s sad, “Family is the worst because they know how to get you. ... They see I feel alone, and they take advantage of that.”
She eventually quit the factory and stayed on part-time at a gas station.
The money came in especially handy the next year when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and given a grim prognosis. She’s been in remission but quit working.
Then her husband was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
When families get sick, neighbors reach out to help. But with Myers, many expected payment for their good deeds.
Still, after all the lost friends and family, she’s glad she had the winning ticket.
“It’s almost like everyone around you is taking a truth pill, “You find out who is really a friend and who is a family. You find out who looks at you like a person and not a bank. It’s nice to know, but it’s hurtful.”
