A lucky first-time bettor from Pampanga won the Megalotto 6/45 jackpot of P41,256,521.60 on June 2, 2023, with the winning combination 25-15-05-11-09-03.
She said she had never played any lotto games before and just gave it a shot on a whim. She firmly believes that if one’s luck is destined, God will make it happen.
The Pampangueña claimed her prize on June 8 and expressed her happiness that she can now improve her family’s living conditions and start a business that will serve as a stable source of income. It took her four times to confirm that she had the winning combination, and when it finally sank in, it made her emotional.
