The winner disclosed his plans to invest in a new business venture and secure a financial cushion for the future.
Last April, a 50-year-old laborer, also from Cavite, hammered his way to the millionaire’s list by claiming the jackpot prize of P46,011,957.80 for the Megalotto 6/45.
To claim lotto prizes, winners must sign the back of the winning ticket and provide two valid government IDs for verification.
Additionally, under the TRAIN Law, they must comply with the 20% tax on prizes exceeding 10,000.
As per RA 1169, winners have one year from the draw date to claim their prize at the PCSO Main Office at Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City.
