After nine years of legal battle, the lotto winner is a step closer to claiming his prize after the High Court rules in favor of him
MANILA, Philippines – After almost a decade, a lotto winner whose prize was not released due to a his partially burned ticket, is now a step closer to receiving the P12-million prize following a Supreme Court decision.
Almost nine years ago – on October 2, 2014 – Mendoza placed three bets for the Lotto 6/42 through lucky pick in an outlet in Batangas. A day later, he found out he won. The problem was his granddaughter crumpled his winning ticket. This prompted him to resort to legal means and filed a complaint before the RTC against the PCSO. The lower court ruled in favor of Mendoza, saying the lotto winner was able to establish that he was the exclusive winner of the said lotto draw. The RTC also said resorting to secondary evidence was justified due to the damage to Mendoza’s ticket.
