Haha! If I win that 1billion I'd give it to the banks where the whole country is indebted to. That way if the debt of the whole nation would decrease, then at least something good would probably happen to the economy. It would be a WIN WIN for all Filipinos! ;)

You do know that our country's debt has breached 4 Trillion right? One billion won't be enough to alleviate poverty if you use it that way, you would only give the politicians more money to squander! maybe you should set up a foundation to alleviate the sufferings of the people who are really in poverty not just those claiming to be impoverished! Just a thought, and thanks for your reply!

Well in this case at least you get 1B and if the only problem is what to do with? I'd like to have that problem too!!! =D

Yeah, I think that that might be better. I just get too carried away sometimes that I just do things without any plan. To quote the Joker: "I'm like a dog chasing cars, I wouldn't even know what to do with one if I caught it!"

Yeah it really is. It would be really overwhelming! Just imagine how paranoid one could be holding the ticket to claim 1 BILLION!!!

If I'm going to win the lotto jackpot prize (please God let me win just once). I'm going to spend the half of my fortune thats about 500 million to build schools and hospitals. then 250 million will go on my bank account the other 250 million I will spend on houses and cars lots of cars.......

Maybe it will reach 1billion and maybe not. But if ever they will have to chose the winner, because i really think it's not luck after all but they will be choosing it, i hope it will have to be the people in Luzon especially those in Cagayan who are experiencing a very serious problem. So they can have money to bring their city up.

Well let's just hope that both of us will win. It's not bad to share, half a billion is too much for one person already. I have other plans with the money, just what i have mentioned from another post, but this for sure will be an additional thought of where my winnings will go.

Well if its not random it just sucks! I fell for the suffering of the people. But cheating would not be a good way to address that. A winner from Cagayan or Luzon would not necessarily use the money to help their community. You and I would if either of us won , so wouldn't it be better for one of us to win than for some one who would just pack up and leave the community? Just a thought.

It is a LOT.. A WHOLE LOT of Money! you could probably buy myLot and help us... hahaha But seriously, I believe it is possible to reach 1 B as well. The higher the jackpot the more people will be bettig and increasing the jackpot further. I wonder how it would feel like swimming in a pool of thousand peso bills? hahaha

Wow! I was so excited I almost typedd this in Filipino :) If I win a billion pesos, honestly I don't know yet what I'd do with the money. Of course I will deposit it in a bank and think of a business to invest to later on and I'd donate some to the needy and give some to relatives and loved ones and buy whatever! But aside from that? No idea as I still couldn't grasp how much money a billion pesos is...

I agree, was having a hard time thinking of what to do with 500m now thinking about 1B is just mind boggling! If it does reach 1B I hope I win! hahaha

hahaha... I was thinking of adding more numbers but then I think that 1 or 100 out of 28.5 Million chances are too close to make any difference! But think about it 20 pesos and after 3 days voila! 1Billion pesos! It's 495M already by the next draw it should reach at least .5 Billion already. And the higher the jackpot, the more money is added. But with 1B I don't care if everyone would know! hahaha
