The winner of the P55.6-million jackpot in the 6/49 Super Lotto game on January 10 is looking for a wife.
The 39-year-old native of Surigao del Norte said that for years, he cast aside the thought of getting married because he did not have a job and could not provide for his family.
With his future now secure, the man told a Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) official that he was now searching for someone to share his life-and his winnings-with.
According to PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II, the man bagged the jackpot when he got the winning number combination of 14-15-16-21-26-45, which was picked for him by a computer.
He said the lucky bettor claimed his winnings Tuesday morning at the PCSO office in Pasay City.
"The man has been placing bets at least four times a week for the past eight years," Rojas said.
"He did not marry because he does not have a job to support a family. But now, he plans to find a woman he will marry," he added.
The man also told Rojas that he would spend part of his winnings to build a house.
His other plans include buying a car, setting up a business, putting the rest of the money in the bank.
