PCSO LOTTO WINNER DIONIE REYES


What if you win the Lotto, how and where will you spend your money?

I am one of millions who keep on thinking how on earth would I spend all that moolah? I am glad that I am not betting on any game of chance because what if I win? How on earth will I answer that question? Ha ha ha!

Last April 22, 2008, Dionie Reyes, a utility worker, won P14,125,032 in the Lotto 6/42 draw and for three months lived the life of a millionaire, something he had been longing to experience.

He lived in a P4-million house in a posh subdivision, drove around in a sports utility vehicle (SUV), and gave goodwill money, ranging P1,000 to P 850,000, to relatives and friends. He also gambled daily, womanized, and went on regular drinking sprees.

In an exclusive interview, DR told the Manila Bulletin that he did not regret throwing all the money away, because it was his, he enjoyed it to the hilt, and he did not take it from anybody else. "I won it from a lotto game of PCSO (Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office)," DR said. "It was my money. I spent my P14 million in three months," he admits. But in the end, he felt sorry for his unbridled spending spree.

From being an instant millionaire, DR now owes some people about P500,000. And to underscore his current state of living, DR underwent a heart surgery at the Philippine Heart Center (PHC) last September without any cash on hand. And he had to thank the PCSO management for helping him pay for the cost of operation of about P500,000, more or less.

Nearly four years after his lucky streak, the married native of Las Piñas, now 47, with an 11-year-old adopted son, said he wants to tell his story so others who may strike gold, or already did, with the lotto games may learn a lesson or two from his experience.

When this pen pusher, rather Blackberry user, told him his name will not be mentioned to shield him from any uninvited or unintended consequences of his coming out in public, he won't have it that way. "If you are not going to mention my name, then there is no use telling my story. Readers may not believe your article. You may even use my photograph," he insists. "After all, I have nothing to fear. That was about four years ago already. I had spent all my winnings. Nothing is left, except my house and the things I gave my relatives, office mates, friends, and acquaintances," he says.

DR recalled that before his mother Paz died at 71 in 2004, she used to tell him that she had been praying for him to win in the lotto play. "Anak, ipinagdarasal ko na manalo ka na ng lotto para makatikim naman tayo ng ginhawa (Son, I have been praying that you win in the lotto so we can have a better life)," DR recalls his mother telling him. DR proudly said that being the youngest of his six siblings made him the favorite of his mother. He has five sisters and a brother.

About four years after his mother's demise, DR finally hit the jackpot, using a Lucky Pick, System 7 bet worth P70. A System 7 bet has seven combinations. "It was a Tuesday when I hit the jackpot. My boss announced that a lotto machine gave out the winning numbers for 6/42, Lucky Pick, and System 7," relates DR. "I had all the three categories. So, I silently hoped that I am the winner," says DR. He did not check his ticket yet.

Wednesday evening, after work, like in many other days before, DR went on another drinking session. He still did not check his lotto ticket in his wallet, which by then was already drenched with his own urine because of too much drinking.

Friday, at lunch time, while eating with an office mate, DR took out his smelly wallet and got the 6/42 ticket. He had memorized the winning combination, 09-15-18-23-28-40, which had at stake P14,125,032.

"Uy, I got three... four... five numbers," DR exclaims, as excitement overwhelmed him. He said he no longer mentioned he got all the six drawn numbers. He just nudged his officemate, who got the message. "At 1 p.m., accompanied by my boss, I had my winning ticket validated at the PCSO's Internal Audit Department. The lotto machine did not accept it at first because of urine smudge. So, the validation was done manually, entering into the lotto machine the security numbers in the ticket," recounts DR.

The PCSO validation machine confirmed DR won the more than P14-million jackpot. "After about an hour, I got the check and I went to the bank, still with my boss," he said.

"Lahat tayo may pangarap. Gusto ko talaga magkaroon ng kotse, magandang bahay, at makahawak ng malaking pera. Kaya sinabi ko sa bangko bigyan ako ng isang milyon na cash at tulungan ako makabili ng Toyota Fortuner na usong-uson noon," he recalls with fondness.

He said he was adamant he wanted to go home driving his new car, and a million-peso cash with him. The bank made sure he got them. It was already evening when he got his shiny Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). Later, DR also bought a P4-million house and lot at BF Homes in Las Piñas.

Out of his winnings, he gave his six siblings P50,000 each; another P500,000 to one of his nephews for a three-door apartment he wanted to build; and from R1,000 to R30,000 to some of his office mates; and R100,000 to his boss. He gifted a nephew of his wife with a car worth P850,000, a Mitsubishi Fuzion. DR now hitches a ride with him every time he goes to work.

For a month, he did not go home to Cavite where he lived at the time he won. He stayed with a sister-in-law in Parañaque City. When he finally showed up in Cavite, he gave away from P5,000 to P50,000 to some friends and neighbors. DR estimated he gave away about P2 million or more for "balato" to relatives, friends, neighbors, and office mates, not counting people he did not know who came to him to borrow money. "I just gave them and told them not to pay me back," he says. Just over a year later, he sold his car and then his house at BF Homes. He bought another house also in Las Piñas worth P1.7 million. He now wants to sell the house to pay off debts.

DR narrated that the rest of his money, about P10 million, was gone in only three months. "I spent all my money through daily gambling, especially cockfighting, drinking sprees nightly, and womanizing. Almost every day, I lost a minimum of P100,000 in cockfighting. It was very quick, I had an especial ATM (automated teller machine) card issued by my bank," DR says.

"Every time I came home, my wife just cried and cried. She asked me many times to stop. I did not listen. My siblings also asked me to change ways and have a new life," he recalls. "I did not listen to any of them. It was my money, anyway. I won it fairly not at the expense of others," DR maintains.

Official statement of Arnold Clavio on the Azkals issue:

GMA News anchor Arnold Clavio responds to criticisms about the recent remarks he made about the sexual harassment case currently faced by some members of the Philippine Azkals:
"Mga igan, nakakalungkot na may negatibong reaksyon ang naging pahayag ko tungkol sa Philippine Azkals kaugnay ng sexual harassment complaint ni Ms. Cristy Ramos. Wala po akong ganoong intensyon. Ang isyu po rito ay sexual harassment at kung may nagamit man po akong mga salita na hindi angkop, nagpapakumbaba po ako at humihingi ng pang-unawa. Dun naman po sa mga kasama kong nanindigan laban sa sexual harassment, maraming salamat po. Seryoso pong isyu ito na dapat bantayan."-Arnold Clavio

Ease your financial stress with Lenddo


The existing loan practices in the Philippines makes it difficult for us Filipinos to apply for a loan because it entails a lot of our time going back and forth submitting requirements, filling up a lot of forms, submitting documents, collateral, photocopies and sign tons of loan documents. 

Personally, I don't believe in loans but there are times that we all need one. Like when I was operated on ruptured brain aneurysm last year, the rupture was so sudden that we were caught unprepared for medical emergency that costs more than a million pesos. So, we had to avail of a loan from my aunt. We were lucky my aunt gave us the money, no question asked. But not everyone have a generous auntie. If I will be getting a loan from the bank, I guess it would take sometimes before they could process my loan and I don't think they will grant me one from my hospital bed, don't you think so?

What will you do, in case you find yourself in a medical emergency? Some people I know ask for loans from government agencies but it takes too long for the loans to be released and the process was so tedious that they are already so stressed-out before they get their loans. So I did a little research on-line and found an institution that could now ease our financial stress. We could now avail of a quick, easy, hassle free loan from Lenddo. 

And because Lenddo is new to us I made my own version of FAQ, so we will all understand how this Lenddo thing works.

What is Lenddo?

Lenddo is the world’s first credit scoring service that uses your online social network to assess credit worthiness. That is why Lenddo only provide loans for employed individuals. It’s a convenient way to access low-interest loans, and processing is in just 24 hours.

Lenddo provides loans to specific purpose such as the following:
How to be a member?

To be a member, you need to register first. Upon joining - Lenddo asks for member information such as:
  • Contact
  • Employment 
  • Financial information 
  • And connecting your Social Networks to Lenddo which will allow Lenddo to use this information for loan assessment.
Lenddo Testimonials
View more presentations from Lenddo
How to be eligible for a loan?

To be eligible for a loan, you have to comply with the following minimum requirements. 
  • Have a Lenddo score of at least 400 points in your score
  • Have three (3) Trusted Network each of them should have at least 400 points as well. 
  • You need to be employed. 
  • TIN number 
  • An SSS or GSIS number
  • Current bank accounts.
Please note that compliance with these requirements does not guarantee approval.

What's the difference between basic community and trusted community in my network?

The people on your trusted community are the ones that can vouch for you. They are the ones that can prove you are credit worthy. The basic community is a group of people you know but don’t necessarily trust.

How does Lenddo process loan applications?

Everything are completely electronic with Lenddo and you can sign up at your own convenience. Their registration process takes no more than 15 minutes and depending on your country's regulations you can usually respond within 1 business day, no more waiting for weeks only to be denied!

How long to process a loan?

Within (1) one business day if the information provided by the member is complete and this includes your profile and loan purpose information.

How does Lenddo assess my credit?

Lenddo uses your social media (i.e. Facebook, Gmail, twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo, MSN, etc.) to determine the strength and integrity of your social network and that you are who you say you are.

What collateral must I put up for a loan?

Lenddo does not require any physical collateral. They leverage on your reputation with your friends and family as collateral. In an extreme case, if you fail to repay your loans or are late on repayments, they reserve the right to lower your credit score, notify members of your network and reduce the credit score of those who referred you.

How much loan could I get from Lenddo

Lenddo give a minimum of Php 5,000 and a maximum of Php 43,000.

How much is the interest rate?

Interest rates are dependent on your Lenddo score and local rates 

What are the payback periods?

Terms range from 3 months to One (1) year.

In what form does Lenddo release the loan?

Once your loan is approved, Lenddo directly deposit the funds into your specified bank account.
I think this is a great opportunity for those who like a simple convenient loan without the hassle. Lenddo saves trees by going completely paperless. Lenddo's way will guide your path to be more credible in your financial dealings. Through Lenddo people would be more responsible, credible and get easy access to loans. I think Lenddo will improve more lives by giving more financial tips/ investment methods to everyone to Ease our financial stress.
