Father of 8 is the newest millionaire
The saying “Basta driver, sweet lover (Drivers are sweet lovers)” seems to hold true in the case of the man who bagged the jackpot in the Dec. 20 6/42 Lotto draw.
When he went to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in Pasay City on Friday to collect the check for his winnings of P40.6 million, the 48-year-old taxi driver from Novaliches, Quezon City, admitted that he has sired eight children with four different live-in partners.
The man revealed this information about himself as he explained to PCSO officials where he got the winning combination of 01-12-18-37-40-42.
According to him, some of the numbers were based on the birth dates of his previous partners whom he met when they rode in his taxi cab.
The man told PCSO officials that for the past 17 years, he had been betting on the lotto using this combination, the agency said in a statement.
The country’s newest millionaire, however, has promised PCSO
officials that aside from using his money to invest in a transportation business and purchase a house and lot, he will also look for his children to fulfill some of his obligations to them.
6/49- 2 winners
Draw date: 12/30/2012
Jackpot Prize P56,969,928 million
A young man who recently graduated from college and a single mother who owns a sari-sari (retail) store are off to a good start this year.
The two bagged the almost P57-million jackpot in the 6/49 Super Lotto 6/49 draw on Dec. 30.
The new millionaires claimed their winnings at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office in Pasay City yesterday, the first working day after the long holiday break.
Both the 24-year-old fresh graduate from Manila and the 31-year-old mother from Antique province shelled out only P20 each on lotto bets.
Still, they managed to pick the winning number combination of 03-31-24-17-12-47 to take home P28.4 million each.
The college graduate told PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II that he had been placing lotto bets for four years whenever he had some money saved from his allowance.
Now, less than a year after finishing his studies, he is set to buy his family a house and lot, invest in a small business and help send his three siblings to school.
The sari-sari store owner from Antique, meanwhile, said she had been placing bets for 10 years. She plans to spend her money on her parents, siblings and only child, as well as make a contribution to the church.
