A 56 years old lotto bettor from Caloocan City  won the 6/45 draw last April 29. 2013 with a jackpot prize of  P 45,049,768.20 million

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.

The lone winner placed bets worth P30 and used the birth date of a grandchild and the “random pick” system to get the winning combination of   9-14-17-21-34-37.


6/49 2 winners
Draw date: 4/30/2013

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.
John explained: “Having money pays your bills but it can never solve all life’s problems. Sometimes I wish I’d never won. On reflection, I’m glad I did. But I wish it could be a better situation.
“I started smoking again the other week because of all the stress. It can be tough trying to be equally fair to your family and not upsetting any of them.”

He has also been hurt by his former employers, who snubbed his offer to help out free of charge when they were short staffed during last summer’s Olympics.

John said: “I was told my services weren’t required because I’d left so abruptly. I was gutted!
“Giving up work was tough because I genuinely loved my job. I still miss working.”

John also told how people have begged for money and booze. One reveller at a music festival ordered: “Buy us a drink, mate!” John replied: “I’ve never bought you a drink in your life, I’m not going to start now.”

He added: “I’ve had people coming up to me in the street, complete strangers, saying, ‘You’re that Lotto winner. Give us some money, pal.’ I carry on walking.”

But John admitted he has enjoyed splashing out. His purchases include an Aston Martin Vantage sports car, a luxury Range Rover “complete with bling” and a ­people carrier.

There is also a snooker table, his and hers car racing simulators – better, he boasts, than Lewis Hamilton’s – a tennis court and a parrot called Mac.

And he is buying a boat, but nothing too “flashy”. But when treating themselves, John, 50, and his second wife Jean, 49, cannot completely forget the old ways of thrift that were once essential.

Even the Aston is second hand. John said: “Why buy a brand new car? They lose value and it’s a waste of money.” Jean added: “Why buy designer clothes just for the label? I still look for bargains on the rail.” The couple have been sure to treat their families, though.

They bought six houses, four of them for their children from previous marriages. They have also helped their five grand children and nine brothers and sisters. John said: “We’ve bought decent stuff for ourselves but most importantly we’ve been able to help our kids.

“We’ve given them the breaks  we never had and taken away any financial worries. You’ve got to look after family.

Before the win we were  struggling. We’re working class and in the past it’s always been where’s the next penny coming from.” The couple even shop at bargain store Poundland – and buy Lottery tickets.

John says his biggest windfall is former factory worker Jean getting the all-clear from breast cancer. Sadly, last week they were preparing to leave the smart home in Corby they bought with their winnings. Next month they move to a villa in Cyprus.
John said: “The past year has been madness. This chapter’s closing and we’re moving on, just the two of us.”

Another of the syndicate quitting Britain is Alex Robertson, 58. He is heading for Spain to escape family rows following his windfall – which ended with him in hospital suffering chest pains.

He said recently: “It’s been nothing but grief.” Meanwhile John is “heartbroken” after having to sell his prized Aston Martin. The car’s soft top, he explained, would not survive the heat in his new home Cyprus.
He added: “I couldn’t give it away to my family – who would I have chosen?”
