Birthdates Combinations Lead To Jackpot


A 35-year-old seaman of Laguna won P21 million in jackpot, while a 33-year-old domestic helper of Batangas City working abroad grabbed P4.9 million in separate draws of Mega Lotto 6/45.
The seaman plans to quit his job in an international shipping line, while the maid will continue working abroad. Both of them hit the jackpot using family members' birth dates.
Officials of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the seaman claimed his winnings Wednesday morning after a week, while the overseas Filipino worker (OFW), a single parent to her lone child, came Tuesday.

He had been a long-time bettor, while the OFW started only two years ago.
“She said she will be buying a house and lot like many of our jackpot winners, and help her brothers," PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II said.
The seaman placed P840 worth of bets using the 6/45 System 9, which has 84 combinations in a Sta. Cruz, Laguna, outlet last January 30, he said.
Together with a female teacher of Ilocos Norte, they hit and shared the jackpot of P42,012,459, said Rojas, for matching the winning numbers of 6/45: 02-10-06-11-26-24.
The teacher already claimed her share last week, Rojas said.
Rojas said the household worker had P40 bets for four combinations last Friday, February 3, one of them matching the drawn numbers of 34-05-29-23-11-08.
PCSO Internal Audit Department Manager Lauro A. Patiag said even while cruising international waters on board his ship, the seaman did not stop trying his luck on the lotto games.
