Two bettors split P300 million lotto jackpot
Two lucky bettors from Leyte and Bataan won the 6/55 lotto draw (9/12/12) they will share the jackpot prize of almost P300 milion.
They will equally receive P149,948,748.00 each.
The biggest jackpot prize in the history of the PCSO online lotto draw was more than P741 million that a balikbayan from New York won after he bought the winning ticket at a lotto outlet in Olongapo City in November 2010.
Do you want to be a millionaire?
Many people do. They dream about mansions,expensive SUV, android cellphones, laptops, iPhone, tablets etc.
The sad truth is that winning the lottery isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.
One day someone is an average Juan de la cruz, and the next morning they are a millionaire.
The pressure and potential are just too much for some people.
Stories in other Countries of lotto winners going to jail, going bankrupt,broken families, drugs, etc. and regretting that they have won.
I found a very interesting story about a husband and wife lotto winners who are a unwillingly or a reluctant lotto winners or maybe this couple just wanted to make sure about their lives that nothing bad will happen to them.
Have you ever heard of a “reluctant” millionaire? Neither have I! But while some people strive to be rich, or will die tryin’, there are two lottery winners who weren’t in such a hurry.
They actually held off collecting their millions because they were “reluctant” about being rich.
He didn’t even tell his wife about it until several weeks after realizing his ticket was a winner!
So why the delayed gratification you ask?
Well, it certainly wasn’t because they were already rich. Raleigh, who bought the ticket, is a baggage handler, and his wife Erin works for the federal government. Average everyday middle-class Americans.
Raleigh was so fearful of all “the hoopla,” that he sat on that information and kept it all to himself. And then one day, when Erin was fretting about having an awful day, he let her in on his secret.
And yet they still both decided to wait… for 6 whole months before claiming the dough. Stashing the lucrative ticket away in safe places like inside a Bible, a shoebox, an envelope and a work locker.
The Hills finally came forward , ONE DAY before the prize was to expire. They split the prize money and each received a lump sum of $340,000 (P14 million each) after taxes.
Apparently the couple was haunted by a sense of unease over the many stories they’d heard about lottery winnings destroying lives and relationships. And can you blame them?
I know you remember that story about Abraham Shakespeare….the lottery winner who was found buried in concrete?
There have been story after story about “the lottery curse” and several previous winners have wished they could give it all back.
I think the Hills were smart in waiting and investigating their options. Considering Biggie’s “More Money More Problems” theory.
It would be wise to consider all the factors prior to claiming any big win.
