Winner of Php 4.5M in lotto shared how her cash prize flowed into her hands like water

Rarely does an excess of luck come into a person's life, especially when it comes to betting on the lottery. How often does the chance of winning easy money, which could undoubtedly change your life in an instant, really happen?

That's what happened to the housemaid named "Teresita Garcia" who, for the first time, placed a bet on the talked-about PCSO Lotto. But presto, she hit the winning number combinations that quickly changed the course of her life.

She wasn't really fond of betting on the lottery, but when she finally did, she never imagined that she would win.

So, what happened to her? Is she now a multi-millionaire? Did she manage to grow her winnings significantly and is now comfortably lying in millions, owning numerous properties, and traveling to various places within the country and around the world?

The instant money that changed her life, she never expected it to flow into her hands like water.

Teresita's story on "I-Juander" on GTV, the sister channel of GMA Network, revealed that she has been trying her luck for three decades. She claimed that she wasn't fond of playing lotto, but she was convinced to try by her employer. On December 5, 2005, she made her first lottery bet, and she mentioned that the ticket cost only ten pesos but had a whopping cash prize of Php 4.5 million!

After five days, they discovered that she won the lottery. The whole family rejoiced because, finally, they could pay their electricity bill. Their house was filled with various people, perhaps seeking a share of her luck and celebrating with them.

What would you do with millions in your hands?

Teresita took advantage of the opportunity to improve their modest living conditions. They bought a jeepney for daily transportation, among other vehicles they immediately acquired.

She claimed to have spent Php 500,000 in three days, giving away shares of her winnings. Additionally, she and her husband traveled both domestically and internationally.

Teresita admitted that they didn't realize how their millions were gradually diminishing. Did she forget to invest and grow it?

Furthermore, her husband fell ill, and a significant portion of the money went to his medical treatment.

When the prize money was depleted, Teresita sold the vehicles they had acquired.

At present, Teresita has returned to a “normal" life and sells bagoong (fermented shrimp paste).

On the other hand, she still expresses gratitude for experiencing that incredibly fortunate day, which she never expected to come her way.

Currently, Teresita continues to play the lottery, hoping to stumble upon luck once again. However, this time, she claimed to know exactly what to do with the money that heaven might bestow upon her through the lottery.

Yes, it can be regrettable, isn't it? But that's how it goes. Life must move on.
