He mentioned that his previous wins came only from four-digit winnings and balik-taya.
“Lubos po akong nagpapasalamat sa PCSO at sa Panginoon sa pagkapanalo ko sa lotto. Di ko po inasahan na sa ganitong panahon ko mapapanalunan ang jackpot. Hindi ko po maipaliwanag ang aking nararamdaman”, he said.
The winner, who has spent the majority of his life in business, has already planned how he will utilize his winnings.
“Sa totoo lang po, naging maayos naman po ang naging takbo ng buhay ko. Nakita ko ang pangangailangan ng aking mga kababayan at napagpasyahan ko po na unahing ipantulong ang makukuha kong premyo mula sa lotto. Ipagpapatuloy ko rin at palalaguin ang aking mga negosyo at syempre mag-iipon para sa kinabukasan ng aking pamilya” he nobly stated.
The lotto winner advised the gaming public to continue patronizing the PCSO games.
“Payo ko lang po sa mga katulad ko na tumatangkilik sa mga palaro ng PCSO ay ipagpatuloy lang ang kanilang pagtaya sa lotto dahil hindi natin alam kung kailan darating ang ating swerte. Ang bawat perang ginagamit natin sa pagtangkilik ng lotto ay napupunta din sa mga programa ng PCSO para sa mga nangangailangan nating kababayan”, he added.

All winnings should be claimed within one year from the date of the draw, otherwise the same would be forfeited to form part of the charity fund, in accordance with the PCSO Charter (Republic Act No. 1169).
