A BalikBayan Claimed the 6/55 Grand Lotto Jackpot

The grand prize for the 6/55 grand lotto was already claimed yesterday. According to online reports, a 60 year old balikbayan from New York won the P741 million jackpot. The PCSO also confirmed that they already released the prize to the first grand winner of lotto in the Philippines.

The man, as described by the PCSO chairman, is a very religious man who was in a pilgrimage when his lucky pick won the jackpot. He said that it was only his second time to place a bet in the 6/55 draw and used the lucky pick for the 6 number combination.

Hope he shares some of his money to poor filipinos this christmas or donate some to charities. If indeed he is really a man of faith. The winner is already planning to return to New York where his family is staying for several years now.
