Philippine Soldier Sole Winner of Mega Lotto Jackpot P98M
A Philippine soldier reportedly won the 6/45 mega lotto jackpot prize amounting to P98,652,196, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced yesterday.
The 30-year-old foot soldier, whose name was undisclosed for security reasons, became the luckiest army personnel when his lotto ticket bears the winning combination. The winning numbers 45-24-13-16-29-05 made him an instant millionaire.
The soldier purportedly claimed his prize last Thursday at the PCSO office where PCSO officer Jose Ferdinand Rojas II verified the winning lotto ticket. The unidentified mega lotto jackpot winner allegedly bought his ticket from a certain outlet somewhere in Manila.
In a certain report, the soldier said that he will buy a house and lot for his family. He will also allocate a trust fund for the future of his sole child. The remaining money he has will be deposited in a bank.
Though the Philippine soldier won millions of pesos from the 6/45 mega lotto draw, he did not mention to the journalists if he will stop serving the Philippine army or not.
