We all dream of hitting the big one, or wish that we could fall into instant riches by simply choosing the right winning lotto numbers or allowing them to be randomly generated from a computerized lotto machine onto a little piece of paper.

The actual chances of becoming a lotto winner are astronomical to begin with, but when fate intervenes, miraculous things can happen that will forever change a person’s life.

Did You Know:

In November 2010, a Balikbayan Architect from New York City who bought  the winning lotto ticket in Subic - Olongapo City, Zambales won the biggest PCSO lotto jackpot in history amounting to P741 million.

The 63-year-old winner bought the winning ticket with the combination 11-16-31-37-42-47 in Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA).

But as of today that record has been broken by the ultra lotto 6/58.

The prize is now the highest on record and still continue to get bigger.

Remember:
Wining the lotto jackpot is only half of it
Having what to do with the jackpot money is the other half

A lucky lotto bettor from Iloilo is now a millionaire after winning the jackpot of 6/55 (9/26/18) draw.

The winning ticket was bought from a lotto outlet in Lopes Jaena St. Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo. 

If only we can predict the lotto result.

If you had a sixth sense, wouldn’t it be great to predict the lotto winning numbers ?

We’ve likely all had times in our life where we wish that we could see the future or predict what will happen and what better time for that when trying to predict the winning lotto numbers.

It’s amazing that those who have the talent of foreseeing or predicting things and occurrences don’t use their powers to win the lottery.

It makes me wonder, that if there are people out there that can see the future, why don’t they use their powers to pick the winning numbers ?

If you had mental powers or could look into a crystal ball, wouldn’t you want to use your powers to predict the lotto numbers ?

Wouldn’t you want to look into that crystal ball and pick the winning numbers for this week’s draw ?

Not to say that there are people out there who have the talent, but it seems strange that you haven’t seen more instances of this kind of people foreseeing the winning numbers and changing their lives forever.

What about the people who go to see a psychic ( Manghuhula ) ?

Wouldn't you want to ask that psychic for the winning lotto numbers ?

Predicting the future is something that some people do have the gift for, and yet we never hear any famous psychic jackpot winner.

It’s strange and perhaps it just doesn’t work that way when it comes to lotto winning numbers. One could only hope I suppose.

So if you ever have the chance to go see one that can look into a crystal ball or somehow predict the future, try asking for the lotto numbers for the coming lotto draw.

If it can give you the right winning lotto numbers then tell us, so we can all go and see the psychic.


Remember: 
No matter how hard it is to win the lotto jackpot, someone does eventually WINS ... all by CHANCE.

Can You win the Lotto jackpot? 

This is a question most people ask frequently and quite curiously as each time somebody wins the lotto jackpot. 

If he or she can, why can't I ?. 

The Lotto bettors who have won the jackpot had the same chance of winning as we all do.

Its not about statistics or about the odds, its about LUCK.  

There is a chance that anybody can win. So it could be anybody with a lotto ticket.

You have the same chance of winning as everyone else.

Although the odds in winning the jackpot are astronomically high.

I always have figured the odds of winning are actually 50-50. Either you win or lose.

Remember:

Positive thinking = Positive outcome

Stories of Filipino Lotto Winners

In a lotto station a block away from my home was a long line of people handing out their lotto cards to the cashier. 

There was a woman in her duster dress who seemed to cast a prayer on her lotto card before giving it to the woman manning the machine. 

Observing from a few feet away, I could feel her dream. I knew each one of these people had in their minds an elaborate plan on what to do with the jackpot prize should they win. 

Each one had a story to tell. 

Everyone was ready to gamble their lives in the uncertainty and hazards of being an instant millionaire.

I worked for the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) back in the day when a single lotto bet cost only P10. 

I was assigned as a support staff to help promote the lotto and develop the perfect narrative.

 The campaign was carefully crafted and we all agreed that the best and most efficient way of promoting the lottery was to tell the amazing background stories of the lotto jackpot winners and the incalculable journey of the sick, the dying and the healed. 

I was assigned to do the interview with the jackpot prizewinners. I wasn’t prepared for their stories.

Funny Man

There was an elderly male vendor in Baclaran who after a whole day in the sidewalk selling vegetables earned only P20. 

He decided to bet half of his earnings and presented the ticket to his wife.

 It was her birthday. The couple became richer by P40 million

I met many of the jackpot winners. And in a couple of instances, there were times when the winner had no idea of how big the money was.

 I asked myself, could it be that they were the same as most of us —Bobo sa [poor in] Math?

When asked about what he would do with his P27 million prize, a tricycle driver from Antipolo who earned his living by driving part-time on weekends said he dreamt of buying his own tricycle so he could drive full-time. 

He had no idea how much money he had.

It was the same with this middle-aged man who worked in an ice plant in Mandaluyong. 

He was a father and a husband who did not seem to mind how he looked. 

He was toothless. He said his look catapulted him to the role of comedian among his co-workers in the plant. 

He was indeed funny judging from the short conversation I had with him. “What would you do with your money?” I asked. 

He replied: “Magpapagawa ako ng pustiso [I’m going to have my dentures made].” Poverty failed to disfigure the spirit of this happy man.

Ticket To Freedom

Many jackpot winners tell us one thing about winning: money will liberate them from poverty. 

And we accepted this as fact. But there are others whose stories are more than just liberating themselves from being poor.

There was this mother of three from Tondo, Manila who on the day she won the lottery was beaten by her drunkard husband. She was tied to a post and beaten repeatedly. 

She confessed that the beating was a daily routine; a regular occurrence witnessed by her children.

But she was wise enough to keep her lottery ticket from her husband.

Black and blue and with all her children and their belongings in tow, she went to the PCSO to collect her prize. 

In between sobs, she told us her story. She asked us to help her get to the bus station so she and her children can go up North to be with her parents. Her prize was her ticket to freedom.

Tragic Comic

A widower in his senior years brought home a lotto prize of about P80 million. 

He requested the agency to have his bank account (where the prize is deposited) shared with his son—a professional working as a medical representative. 

A week later he went back to the office and asked us if the agency could recover his money. His son apparently withdrew everything and ran away.

A priest tried convincing a male farmer lotto winner to transfer the money to the farmer’s “educated” sister, saying the money could be managed better that way.

 As it turned out in our conversation, his sister promised to donate a large portion of the farmer’s winnings to the church. “Kailangan nating magpasalamat sa Diyos [We need to thank the Lord],” she said, wearing a glittery shirt with a face of a roaring tiger at the center. But the farmer had other plans.

 He intended to buy the land he had been tilling for years. 

Towards the end of the conversation, he folded his hands in prayer, exposing the dark bits of soil lining his fingernails. He had two words for the priest, “Ayoko po [Don’t want].”

Whatever happened to him, his sister and the priest afterwards, no one knows for sure. We could only pray for their happiness.

At the PCSO, hundreds of patients greeted us everyday. 

Not all were dying but everyone was sick. Of course, the extent of charity support is realistically balanced by the degree of sickness or the amount of time left for the dying.

Seated in one corner was an old woman who said that she was following up on her request for medical assistance. She was a “regular,” said the staff. The staff interviewed the woman to check if her documents were complete.

To our surprise, the woman was a 1997 lotto winner—the first to win more than a hundred million pesos. 

She admitted that she made a series of wrong decisions and bad choices on where to put her money. Investing heavily on the search for hidden treasure, she lost all her money in just a matter of years.

“I have stage IV cancer, I am dying,” she said.
