A lotto enthusiast for nearly seven years, he said his interest in playing was inspired by a relative who had also won a PCSO jackpot several years ago.
For the July 3 draw, he purchased four Lucky Pick combinations for a total of ₱100, one of which matched all six winning numbers.
The unexpected win has given the former OFW plans to expand his small business, buy a house, and build savings for the future.
The PCSO reminded lotto winners that prizes must be claimed within one year from the date of the draw.
Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law, lotto prizes exceeding ₱10,000 are subject to a 20% final tax.
Jackpot winners must present the original signed winning ticket and two valid government-issued identification cards when claiming their prizes at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City.
The Mega Lotto 6/45 is drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9 p.m., with live broadcasts on IBC-13, D8TV, and the PCSO Games Online Hub Facebook page.
