“I won the lottery. I don’t care what it costs.”
This would probably the maxim of the 60 years old lottery winner as he played and received his prize of about P356,552,917.20 in joining the Philippine Charity Sweeptakes Office (PCSO) lottery game. The said winner was a village guard and has 6 children that he was not able to send school because of poverty.
Because of the numbers 9, 5, 26, 30, 19 and 45, he became an instant millionaire everybody always wished to. According to the PCSO’s general manager Jose Ferdinand Roxas, the lucky winner had decided to spend the money he just won in buying a new house, and sending his 6 children in school, who are all have their own families, yet lives together with him in their tiny shack.
As what the winner’s neighborhood says, they are really sure that it was the man had won because of the loud cheer brought by the family while waiting for the confirmation. “I heard them shouting, and I was surprised when he didn’t went to work that morning.”
As reported, the winner had been buying tickets for the past three years whenever he had some money to spare. The old man is really lucky of the blessing GOD had given him.
