A senior citizen from Quezon City finally saw his decades-long dream come true after winning the P15-million jackpot prize of the MegaLotto 6/45 drawn on May 6, 2026.
The lucky bettor hit the winning combination 01-03-24-18-11-10, marking a significant milestone in his 25-year journey as a loyal lotto patron.
According to the winner, his personal number combination was inspired by meaningful family memories, particularly the upcoming 100th birthday celebration of his grandmother.
The winner shared that his persistence in playing the same set of numbers through the years eventually paid off, giving him renewed hope after enduring difficult times brought about by a failed business venture that left him heavily indebted and emotionally burdened for years.
He said the jackpot prize would allow him to finally settle all his financial obligations and start anew during what he described as his “twilight years.” Beyond paying debts, the senior citizen plans to spend more quality time with his family and invest in small businesses involving food, transportation, and retail.
The winner also expressed gratitude that his grandmother’s centennial celebration became part of the inspiration behind his winning combination, making the win even
more meaningful for their family. He added that the windfall would allow them to celebrate the milestone with a memorable family feast.
The story serves as another reminder to many hopeful bettors that patience, faith, and perseverance sometimes lead to life-changing moments.
