A courier service employee from Quezon City may no longer need to rush any delivery and instead slow down to a millionaire’s pace after claiming his share of a lotto jackpot recently.
The 45-year-old father of two has collected half of the P15.8-million prize in the May 13 Mega Lotto 6/45 draw, according to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
He was one of two players who picked the winning combination 04-05-10-18-25-29. The other winner, a factory worker from Cavite province, claimed his prize Thursday last week.
PCSO Vice Chair and General Manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II said the winner from Quezon City—who brought home P7.89 million—had been playing the lottery for over a decade before his lucky strike.
Like the other winner, he based his picks on the birthdates of family members, Rojas added.
The man shared plans to buy a new house and start a business with his partner, the official added.
