6 digits finally bring laborer the lotto jackpot
MANILA, Philippines - They were six digits he just picked from the calendar seven years ago.
But this 54-year-old laborer from La Trinidad, Benguet had placed bets for the six-digit combination – 39-2-1-33-3-23 – in the 6/55 Grand Lotto since then.
Initially, the laborer, who is still single, won P2,000 for getting four digits right in a lotto draw, and later, the P150,000 second prize.
Last Monday, the six-digit combination finally brought the 6/55 Lotto jackpot to him – P30 million.
Jose Ferdinand Rojas, general manager of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), said the laborer claimed his prize at their office yesterday.
Rojas quoted the lucky bettor as saying that he would share his winnings with his brother and sister and that he plans to put up a grocery store.
“With you winning, you can now find a wife,” Rojas told the laborer as he handed him a check for P30 million.
