Lucky Brothers .....

Three lucky bettors will share P94.897 million after hitting the jackpot in Sunday (Oct.9, 2011) night's Superlotto 6/49 draw.

Two of the three winners of the P94,897,000 jackpot prize in the 6/49 Super Lotto draw last Sunday are biological brothers.

A government soldier and his brother won P31,632,333.60 each after they both bet on the winning number combination 5-25-8-21-17-6.

According to them, the combination is based on their birth dates and their parents’ birth dates.

They said they plan to use the cash to start a business and buy a house and lot.

The third winner of the 6/49 Super Lotto jackpot prize is a bettor from Boac, Marinduque.


The winners placed their bets for the Super Lotto 6/49 draw in lotto outlets on F.B. Harrison St., Pasay City; Soldiers’ Mall, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City; and Boac, Marinduque.


The winning combination had been maintained by the elder brother, 48, a soldier whose duty often takes him out of town and who usually asks his brother the electrician, 45, to buy a P20 lotto ticket so that they would not miss the draw.


Last Sunday, the soldier, who was then on duty at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City, sent a text message to his brother requesting him to buy a lotto ticket as usual. The younger brother bought one ticket for P20 at the lotto outlet along Harrison St. in Pasay City.

The soldier, however, had another idea and went out to the Soldiers’ Mall near Camp Aguinaldo and also bought one lotto ticket using the same number combination that his younger brother used. The number combination later won the Super Lotto jackpot.

The soldier has five children while his younger brother has two kids.

The younger brother had left his family in Davao City to look for work in Manila.


Aside from the 3 jackpot prize winners, 549 players won the P56,000 second prize, and 5,424 won the third prize of P1,000 each.


Super Lotto 6/49 now has 25 jackpot winners this year who won a total of P760,890,719.20.

Multiple winners of a single lotto jackpot are not rare. It happened once this year in the Mega Lotto 6/45 draw last January 7 with six winners sharing the P4,955,526 jackpot.


A few years ago, a police official also shared the lotto jackpot with his police aide whom he sent to buy the lotto tickets.

The police official had maintained the number combination that also represents the birthdays of family members.

The official usually sent his aide to buy lotto tickets at the PCSO outlet near Camp Crame in Quezon City, but the aide also placed his bets on the number combination of his boss.

Lotto winning tips...

MANILA, Philippines — A 35-year-old married Ilongga of Iloilo City Thursday joined the lotto instant millionaires' club as she claimed her winnings Wednesday of P8,221,248 from the Sept. 24 draw of Lotto 6/42.

PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II said three Lucky Pick bets worth P30, where the lotto computer selected the numbers.

One of her three six-number combinations matched the winning numbers of 10-12-15-02-04-31, Rojas said, getting details from the report of Internal Audit Department (PCSO-IAD) Manager Lauro M. Patiag.

With her winnings, he said the newspaper dealer, who has a child, plans to expand her business, invest on some real state properties, and save the rest for rainy days. The winner came with her husband and her mother when she claimed the 6/42 jackpot on Oct. 5 in the afternoon at the PCSO headquarters in Pasay City, he added.

Meanwhile, the biggest winner in September last month, who hit the P72.5-million jackpot in the Grand Lotto 6/55 draw on Sept. 28 still has to claim the bonanza, said Patiag.

While searching for a lotto story, I found a great article that can help you win the lotto .

If you want to win the lottery, you need this tips.

Have you ever dreamt of winning the Lottery? Can you imagine how it must feel?... Maybe you constantly tell people that you are destined to one day win the lottery jackpot...

In a recent lottery survey, lottery jackpot winners were asked if they had ever thought the same thing. 38 % of the winners stated that they had always believed they would win the lottery, and more than half said that they had dreamt that it would happen. 51% of the lottery winners said they had always considered that they were 'fortunate' people.

So, could positive thinking and the law of attraction hold the key?...

Recently, there is more and more talk about the law of attraction. Basically, it says that like attract like, and that what we 'think' about most, we attract into our lives. Now, before I loose you, let me just say that this is a Universal Law, and just like gravity although we can not see it, we know it exists.

Basically, it means that whatever thoughts we focus on the most, we will attract into our lives. If you are always dreaming of winning the lottery, then you are attracting this to you. On the flip side, telling people how 'unlucky' you are will just create more 'bad luck' in your life. Wait a minute, I can hear you squealing 'If that's the case, how come I'm not a lottery millionaire? I'm always telling people that I will win it one day, and dreaming of getting the big one'

The law is very simple, however most of us will have very unfocused thoughts running around our head. So you may one minute be saying "I want to win the lottery" and the law of attraction will be set into motion. Then your mind will try and rationalize with you and say "Stop being silly, you'll never win" In that very moment, you are cancelling out your wish to win the National Lottery and stopping the flow of energy.

What we now know is that emotions will increase your thought vibrations so as soon as you start feeling that you can't win, this will push your dream even further out of your grasp.

By simply understanding how the Law of Attraction works, and choosing to change your thoughts so that they are positive, you will be able to manifest more of your desires. If you have a deep rooted belief that you are unlucky' or always broke' then you may find you have to work harder at this whole manifestation lark you may want do a bit more research into the law. One great starting place is to watch The Secret' this movie has transformed many thousands of people's lives Worldwide and you can watch the first 20 minutes for free on YouTube.

Following are some top tips on how to improve your chances for winning the lottery:

1.Decide how much you want to win on the lottery

Write this figure down on several bits of paper and put around the house or office where you will see it often. For example, on the fridge, on the ceiling above your bed, next to the computer. It needs to be a figure you believe' if you want a million pounds but your mind screams dream on', then choose a figure that is more acceptable to you.

2.Say Affirmations

Every morning and evening, look at this figure and say I have won X pounds on the lottery and all of my dreams are coming true 'replacing X with the amount you desire. You can make up your own lottery affirmations; make sure that you say the sentence as if it has already happened, that it is in the present tense. Jump up and down; scream Thank You!' picture in your mind what you would do, get excited and feel grateful

3.Visualize

Before getting out of bed and just before dropping off to sleep, imagine what you would do with the money, how you would feel visualize how that amount of money would look like.

4.Feel thankful that you will win the lottery

Believe that the winning ticket is coming to you! Feel grateful

5.Buy a ticket!

This is the most important step. To give yours dreams a chance, you MUST take action. It is amazing how many people say they plan on winning the lottery but never get off their sweet behind to buy a ticket.

6.Have fun

Once you have purchased your ticket, go and relax and do something that makes you laugh. Forget all about your numbers. What will be, will be. By having fun and laughing, you will increase your positive vibration and that will make you more attractive to wealth

Get started now, write down the amount you want to win and give it a go what do you have to lose?

Lotto Winners

While searching for some lotto news. I found 2 very interesting stories.

A lotto winner who kept his winnings from his wife and a man who has a amnesia that doubled his winnings.


Never tell your wife ...

Woman googles husband, finds he won the lottery but never told her.

On 2007, Donna Campbell became suspicious of her husband, Arnim Ramdass, when he started to keep the television turned off and disconnected the phone line. Her suspicions rose when she found a postcard about a new home purchase.

But Campbell was unaware that her husband was hiding a $10.2 million secret from her until she Googled her husband's name and lottery number. She found a Florida lottery press release that named 17 airline mechanics who won the jackpot, her husband was one of them.

The group of mechanics opted for the lump-sum payment of $10.2 million, meaning each of the 17 winners would receive about $600,000 before taxes. Since the winning, Ramdass took a leave of absence from work, according to his co-workers. He hasn't shown up at the couple's home and servers can't find him to hand him the lawsuit papers: she wants half the money and out of the marriage.


Amnesia ...

Doubled his share of the jackpot... by mistake!

When Derek Ladner next suffers from absent mindedness, he may think twice before cursing his poor memory. For the 57-year-old's forgetfulness has landed him an amazing double lottery win.

He and his wife Dawn were elated when their six regular numbers came up on the midweek draw on 2007. They were quick to claim their £479,142 share of the £2,395,710 jackpot split between five winners. But, incredibly, a week later Mr Ladner remembered he had bought another ticket with the same numbers for the same draw.

That gave him two of the five shares of the jackpot on July 11, doubling his winnings to £958,284. A spokesman for lottery operator Camelot said it was the first time a player had won twice in the same draw! Mr Ladner's forgetfulness cost the other three winners almost £120,000 each. Had he not bought the extra ticket, they would have split the jackpot four ways instead of five and won £598,927 a person.

Lotto jackpot prize forfeited to charity

A lone bettor in Caloocan City defied an enormous one-in-28.99 million odds in the 6/55 lotto draw by winning Wednesday evening the jackpot at stake worth P142,859,048.40.

The bettor bought his winning ticket from a lotto outlet on Marcelo H. Del Pilar Street, Grace Park, Caloocan City.
The winning numbers are 1-6-9-16-35-40.


Meanwhile, 34 bettors won the consolation prize of P150,000 each for picking 5 correct numbers.

A total of 2,025 winners received P2,000 each for getting 4 out of 6 numbers.

While 40,107 more won P150 for getting 3 correct numbers.



Did you Know that ....

A total of P605,273,958.20 in unclaimed prizes for all online lotto games of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao draws has been forfeited after the one-year period to claim expired.

According to PCSO records, the forfeited prizes were mostly minor prizes of the EZ 2, the 3-digit game, 4-digit game, 6-digit game, 6/42, the Mega Lotto, the 6/42 the 6/49 Super Lotto and the short-lived Power Lotto game.

The unclaimed prizes which represent 55 percent of the total sales of the online lotto games will be reverted to the charity fund of the agency.

Unclaimed prizes revert and form part of the charity fund after one year.


Lotto jackpot prize forfeited to charity

An anonymous lotto bettor forfeited to charity a total P173,918,451.60 after failing to claim the amount as his prize in winning the Super Lotto 6/49 jackpot on February 22, 2009.

The forfeited money represents half of the record P347,836,903.20 jackpot prize that went up for grabs during the February 22, 2009 Superlotto 6/49 draw.

The other half was won and claimed by a 50-year-old Caloocan City housewife who purchased the winning ticket from the lotto outlet of Alicia Ildefonso on Jose Street, Malibay, Pasay City.
