Let's Keep It A Secret.

I found a story on how a South African lotto winner kept his secret about winning the lotto jackpot.

Winning the lotto is what most people would love to achieve in their lifetime.

But if you won the lotto, would you ever keep it a secret from your friends and family?

No one can deny that they have found themselves thinking about how they would spend a million if they won the lottery.

There are countless stories of people who became overnight millionaires and in a short time, lose it all by overindulging.

A winner in the US found herself living in under 10 years after having spent all her 10 million dollars on fancy clothing, a big house, and lavish lifestyle.

It's no wonder that South Africa's secret lotto winner has kept a low profile ever since winning at the age of 27, spending minimal amounts of money and has not even told his partner that he is a millionaire.

In an interview the winner revealed how he has managed to not lose it all by keeping his winning a tight lipped secret.

The only people who knew that he won is his mother and sister. 

He drives a second hand car and shops at local unbranded clothing stores. 

He is down to earth person who lives an ordinary life. it takes some real willpower to not go on a spending spree.

His money in the bank now amounts to roughly R20 million or P83.2 million (1R- rands Currency to Philippine peso = P4.16) and he lives off the earnings from a business that he has invested in and the interest that he has been earning on the amount.

Congratulations on keeping your winnings a big secret. 

We're not too sure on how many other lotto winners and future winners can do the same as you did.

This is what it Feels Like to Win the Lottery

You've been waiting for this  very moment. 

You've probably had this countless dreams of winning the jackpot. 

Every single night, you've prayed for it like there's no other and finally that moment has come.

So now the question is, how does it really feel like to win the jackpot.

1. Surprise.

This would be the usual first reaction.

Winning the jackpot would always come as a surprise. 

You’d buy a ticket hoping for the best results but you would not know exactly how it would turn out.

2. Nervous

You would be anxious and fearful on what to do.

You really would have a difficult time processing the fast change of pace in your mind.

3.Confusion

If you win, you’ll probably be in a daze of confusion for a moment. 

Actually, the confusion could last longer than a moment.

Imagine having close to nothing then having everything suddenly in the reach of your hands. 

This may turn out to be too overwhelming and not so easy to grasp.

Thus, a winner would most likely need to come into terms with himself first and the reality that awaits him.

4. Glee, (Happiness, euphoria and Excitement)

The winner can now make up his mind on what he is going to do with the money and it’s up to the winner to decide where the winning goes.

All of these emotions could play out as a lotto winner tries to cope with the life-changing moment. 

The nerve-racking and confusing moments will be fleeting, so don’t worry about it. 

What matters is at the end of the line, you’ll leave with glee.

This story happened way back 2005

I found this old story unbelievable but it really did happened.

A Ghost story? or a Ripleys, believe it or not story?

Believe it or not this lotto story is a world record with 1326 lotto bettors winning the 2nd Jackpot prize and it happened here in our Country in a Halloween lotto draw.

Nov 4, 2005

More than P30 million in cash prizes was paid out by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) when a record-breaking 1,326 bettors won the second prize in the Halloween lotto draw.

But that was not the big story yet behind the Oct. 31 lotto 6/45 draw way back 2005

PCSO officials discovered that most of the winners who held lotto tickets containing five of the six drawn numbers had placed bets on six identical numbers: 3-18-23-28-37-42.

What was even more surprising was the fact that those who chose similar combination's simply lifted the lucky numbers from the sample number pattern that was printed as instruction on every lotto card.

"Had they thought of changing the number 18 to 19, the Philippines could have recorded the biggest number of winners who would have divided the lotto jackpot.

But the second prize winners had made the right decision because they would have romped away with only about P12,600 each if the jackpot of P16,257,499.20 was divided among the 1,326 bettors.

Fortunately, six lotto bettors changed the "18" to "19" and became instant millionaires. With the winning number combination of 3-19-23-28-37-42, they each became P2,709,583.20 richer.

"This is a very rare but not as extraordinary as having a repeat of jackpot combinations. I do not recall any lottery that drew exactly the same winning number combinations since the lotto started in the country," PCSO official said.

The consolation prize for the 6-digit lotto games will be increased to P24 from P20.

The PCSO said its board of directors recently approved the “Balik-taya”, or the increase in the consolation prize, to encourage the betting public to bet again once they hit 3 out of 6 numbers in every lotto result.

PCSO Assistant General Manager Arnel Casas said the increase was brought about by public clamor following the increase in betting prices mandated by the tax reform law.

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.
