Do you think it's worth the wait, he's getting 6% interest per annum but he still has to pay a lot of money and suffers a lot even to the point of having a rift with his daughter
He fought to claim his winnings, and I think it's worth the wait. Twelve million pesos is still a lot of money; he's now one of the millionaires in the Philippines, so he should be happy with that. The 6% interest per annum is another bonus, so I guess he'll now live a good life with the money he won from the lottery.
The good thing is that the court has honored his winnings. I thought when a ticket is already destroyed, it's automatically non-acceptable, but the ruling of the court favors him but the sad part is after nine long years. What kind of justice system is that?
Justice system in the Philippines is rubbish, if you are innocent and get jailed I think if the opposition is rich and hired a good lawyer then good luck you might end up suffering long long years of prison before proven innocent. Same with what had happened to the lottery winner though he accidentally altered the ticket but still 9 years is for me a very long wait though it is still worth the wait of course since the court finally recognized him as the lucky winner for that jackpot.
