A BUSINESSMAN from Batangas can now expand his business and at the same time provide for the education of a number of out of school youth after he claimed Tuesday the more than P69-million jackpot prize he won in the Mega Lotto 6/45.

The 55-year-old trader is the lone player to correctly guess the winning number combination 07-09-12-20-21-25 in the game’s Oct. 9 draw. He won exactly P69,272,620.
