The lucky bettor once work with NAWASA as a pipeline man and has 3 children.
He bought 3 lotto combination worth P30 pesos.
Once in danger of losing his house because he had no money to pay his debts, this former pipe line worker at the defunct National Waterworks and Sewerage Authority (Nawasa) ultimately had the last laugh.
At one point, during a court hearing, a government lawyer mockingly told him that the only way he and his family could avoid eviction from their Caloocan City house and pay their debts—amounting to P300,000 at the time—was for him to win the lotto.
He did just that.
On Tuesday, he took home P45,049,768.20 for winning the jackpot in the Megalotto 6/45 draw held on April 29.

Two lotto bettors hit last Tuesday's Super Lotto 6/49’s P95-million jackpot.
The two winners bought their tickets from a lotto outlet located in Manila and Quezon province.
They are the 11th and 12th new lotto millionaires for the month of April.
The misery of the £38million lotto syndicate winners.
The 12 broke bus drivers pocketed more than £38 million each but found that winning the lottery can bring its own problems.
Twelve broke bus drivers thought that sharing a £38million Lotto fortune would be just the ticket.
With no need to ever work again, they were surely on the road to stress-free lives of luxury.
But the men, who pocketed more than 3 million each, have found that winning the Lottery can bring misery in its wake.
They have endured family feuds, sponging by strangers and stress-driven health scares that landed one in hospital.
Four of the working-class mates from Corby, Northants, have left the town, two of them quitting Britain completely, due to problems mirroring TV’s drama about Lotto winners The Syndicate.
John Noakes, a cheery former Bus Driver of the Year, admitted the pressure of his wealth drove him to start smoking again.
He said: “Becoming multi-millionaires changed our lives – but not all for the good. It’s caused a lot of hassle. There have been learning curves and hard times.
“I’ve had to learn to adapt to having a huge amount of money and keeping track of everything.
“You can’t be too extravagant, it’s better to err on the side of caution. I don’t buy brand new even though I can afford to.
“The transition from being broke to rich has been tough. Now I’ve got lots of money, I’ve got to be careful. It has to last.
“I’ve lost track of my buddies. I had some really good friends but they don’t want to know now. We never see each other. We move in different circles, which is a pity.
“People assume you’ve changed because you’re loaded – but I haven’t changed one bit.”
The Stagecoach workers hit the Euromillions jackpot in March last year, with £3,169,553 each.
John immediately quit the £18,000-a-year job that he loved.
But he has since learned the hard way that money does not always buy happiness.
