November 7, 2022. A struggling seamstress from Taytay, Rizal claimed her prize at the Philippine Charity Sweeptakes Office in Mandaluyong City, on November 7, 2022 from the Megalotto 6/45 drawn November 4, 2022, amounting to Php21,436,089.60 with the winning combination of 16-13-02-19-11-07.

The ecstatic 39-year-old winner couldn’t hold back her emotions when she arrived at the 4th Floor, GM’s Office and was greeted by Atty. Anna Katrina Nicole C. Contacto, said “Nang makita ko po sa post ng PCSO Facebook Page na nanalo ang aking numero ay hindi na po ako nakapagsalita, pinapagpapawisan na ako ng malamig at mangiyak ngiyak po ako sa tuwa. Halos ganyan po ang nangyari sa akin sa loob ng dalawang araw. Nasa 15 taon na po akong tumatangkilik sa lotto. Sa nakaraang 9 na buwan napagpasyahan ko po na tayaang numero ang edad ng aking mga anak at sa hindi po inaasahang pagkakataon nakamit ko po ang aking pinapangarap,”

I used to have a small business which I worked as a seamstress but was eventually put to an end during the pandemic. “Dati rati ay may sarili po akong pwesto, bumagsak po ang negosyo kong patahian dahil sa pandemya. Nagsabay sabay po ang dagok sa aking buhay noong panahong iyon. Nabenta po ang aming bahay upang maibayad sa utang, ngayon po ay nangungupahan kami sa isang maliit na barung barong. Dagdag pa ang pagkaopera ng aking anak sa kidney. Kayat itinuturing ko po ang pagkapanalo ko sa lotto na sagot sa lahat ng naging kahilingan ko sa Panginoon,” added the winner.

It seems that plans for how the money would be spent has already been mapped out in the mind of the winner. “Lubos po akong nagpapasalamat sa PCSO lalo’t higit sa Poong Maykapal sa pagdinig ng aking panalangin. Dahil dito, sigurado akong makakabangon kaming muli sa pagkalugi. Ipapatayo ko na muli ang aking patahian. Maraming Salamat po ulit.”

As parting statement, the Taytay seamstress vouched for the authenticity and integrity of PCSO’s games when she collected her prize and even encouraged the future be patrons of Lotto and other gaming products of the Agency. “Nang bumagsak ang aming negosyo doon mas lalo akong nagpatuloy sa pagtangkilik ng lotto. Umasa ako na kapag nanalo ako makakabangon kami. Kaya payo ko lang sa ating mga kababayan, ay wag lang tayo mawalan ng pag – asa dahil hindi natin alam kung kalian ito ipagkakaloob sa atin.”
