First of all I would like to congratulate whom ever those two lucky fellas! Here in the Philippines, the jackpot price of Php 347,836,903.20 (equivalent for $7,215,784.74) for the Super Lotto 6/49 will be shared by just two persons! The winning combination were 6, 34, 20, 26, 12 and 33. This amount is the highest jackpot ever in the history of lottery here in the Philippines. Whew! Talk about luck huh?! I'd surely love if I would be one of those lucky fellas! Anyway, if you were one of these two persons, what would you do to the jackpot money?

Hi, fellow Filipino. I have to say that I don't bet regularly. In fact, I missed the last 3 draws including the draw last Sunday for the 6/49 Superlotto game; simply because I lack the funds to place my bet. But if given the chance to win even just a portion of it; say 50 million pesos, I do have several plans lined up for it already. Foremost, my spouse and I would settle all our outstanding monetary obligations with several individuals, credit card companies, pawnshops, and other loan agencies. This would total to approximately 135 thousand pesos, more or less. Next in line would be the segregation of about 5 million pesos for our only child's future education. She's turning 4 this year and she's about to start schooling. This amount includes her daily transportation fares and allowances for meals, aside from the tuition fees and miscellaneous expenses, until she graduates. Then, my husband and I are going to allot about 3 million for the purchase of a parcel of land together with the expenses for building our own house. We will also give 2 million each to my parents and my parents-in-law. I also dream to buy a few hectares of land for the plantation of various fruits and vegetables; and budget for this might reach 3 million. My spouse and I are both interested in putting up our own business so I think we'll finally realize our dream not only for ourselves, but more so for our daughter's future. I guess we're going to enter the food industry and/or the rental business which may cost us a total of 5 million, inclusive of business taxes and licenses. And in either business, we plan to employ the less fortunate ones like the out-of-school youths and unemployed fellowmen, together with people below the poverty line. This way, we could uplift them from their present condition in life and bring hope for their future. About 10 million will be allotted for our (me & my spouse's) prime years. This includes the medical expenses of our parents. Aside from this, I personally plan to have a savings and loan association or cooperative, where anybody could be a member regardless of financial status in life. They may avail of loan facilities, where they will be charged a maximum of 5 percent interest per annum. Oh, I feel great just imagining that I could make a positive difference in my own life, as well as in other people's conditions. 'Til next post.

Yea, I would also like to congratulate those lucky people that win lotteries. It changes the entire life of a person. Still, the chance of winning is very low and it is based on luck. What would I do with the money? Lots of things. A real lot of things =) I can't list them all. hehe
