WHAT started as a quiet holiday turned into the start of a new life for a 28-year-old factory employee from Mandaluyong City, who recently took home a staggering P935,262,012.34 — the biggest jackpot in Philippine history — while playing on the trusted online gaming platform BingoPlus.

The father of one had been playing casually for over a year, often turning to Baccarat after work to unwind. On his day off, he used his accumulated points to try BingoPlus’ Lucky Spin feature — a reward mechanic that grants players free chances at major jackpots based on in-game activity.

“I saw the number — P935 million. I kept refreshing the screen,” the winner said. “I thought it was a glitch. Then BingoPlus called — that’s when it became real.”

The jackpot winner lives with his wife, their daughter, and his parents. Like many working Filipinos, he maintained a full-time job and kept gaming as a light hobby — never expecting anything more than a quick break from work.

FOR THE FAMILY With nearly a billion pesos in winnings, the 28-year-old plans to buy a home for his family, secure his daughter’s education, and support an orphanage he visited as a child. For him, it’s not about luxury; it’s about starting fresh and building a better life. PHOTO FROM BINGOPLUS

“We were okay, but it was always tight. Tuition, daily expenses — it adds up. This win gives us the chance to start fresh,” he said.

His goals after the win remain grounded: buy a home, secure his child’s education, and invest wisely to build a better future.

Even in the wake of his historic prize, the winner continues to practice responsible gaming — something BingoPlus actively promotes through its platform.

“I’ve always played with set limits. That’s something BingoPlus helps you stick to — time limits, spending controls, everything. It keeps the fun in it,” he said.

BingoPlus, one of the country’s leading digital gaming platforms, continues to build trust through transparent mechanics and a strong emphasis on responsible play. Its Lucky Spin feature allows players to earn free spins based on real gameplay activity across BingoPlus games — including Baccarat, the winner’s personal favorite.

“We weren’t chasing anything that day,” the winner added. “I was just relaxing. Then everything changed.”

While the jackpot marks the beginning of a new chapter, the winner says he plans to remain grounded — and hopes others are inspired by his story.

“We’ve always been grateful, even before this. Now we just want to live peacefully — and give our daughter the future she deserves,” he said.

He also plans to support an orphanage he visited in the past, saying he wants to share his blessing with others in need.

“Miracles can happen — anytime, anywhere. Even when you’re just playing to unwind,” he said.
