A lotto bettor once said .....

One reason I buy lotto is .... for  the pleasant daydreaming I will have for a few days before the numbers are drawn.


EFFECTIVE May 17, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) doubled its betting price from P10 to P20 per combination, as well as the jackpot prizes, for the Lotto 6/42 and Megalotto 6/45 games.

The minimum jackpot prizes also increased  from P3 Million to P6 Million for Lotto 6/42 and from P4.5 Million to P9 Million for Megalotto 6/45.



I love this story .....

She started charity with her lottery winnings.

Sheelah Ryan, who won a $55.2 million lottery prize in 1988 and spent the following years giving the money away, died  at her home in  Orlando suburb. She was 69.

The cause was cancer.

Mrs. Ryan won the jackpot in the Florida Lottery on Sept. 3, 1988, and in December that year she set up a charitable foundation that donated to poor children in need of operations.

The Ryan Foundation also built low-cost housing and paid overdue rent to spare single mothers and their children from eviction.

"I think it was by the grace of God I won," Mrs. Ryan said in 1989. "I realized there must have been a reason He gave me the money, so I decided to give some of it to senior citizens and the homeless."

With her jackpot, Mrs. Ryan became the largest individual lottery winner in American history, a distinction she held until a Wisconsin man won a $110 million prize last year. Mrs. Ryan's jackpot was payable over 20 years in annual installments, and she had received about $16.6 million. The remainder will go to her estate

Pamela Ohab, who serves on the foundation's board, said it "will definitely continue."

"It's really her legacy, and that's what she wanted, She left it very well funded." The foundation declined to say how much money it had given away.

Mrs. Ryan, who was born in New York City, worked part time selling real estate before she won the lottery.
