Idk the story behind the picture. If it's the real winner and they want to hide their identity to protect themselves, they can wear hoodie or something. Even if they don't have any with them when they went to claim the prize,
Make sense mate. Why do they have to edit a picture if they could do that, editing a picture is like tampering the only proof. Honestly, i don't even think that the picture was taken on that place, it looks like they just grab a picture of the winner and brought to that office. It does look bad and it has become viral in the social media now that PCOS is gathering a lot of criticism. This is a big hit of their credibility, IIRC, PCSO was close for many days during the time of Pres. Duterte, but now with this new controversy, I don't know what would happen to the people behind this "SCAM".
I bet anyone from the office of the lottery have at least one hoodie. Or they should have spare clothing knowing that winners will get their prizes there, and it's not something new to them. Why bother spending hours on editing a photo when they can just look or ask people around them if they have hoodie, hat, shades, and mask.
It's a huge winning prize and editing the photo that is so obvious will make it unreliable to people. That's why people always have doubts about the lottery winners because of these kind of poor thinking.
Though it's not proven yet but I believe they are trying to defaud the public. 43 million pesos is a huge money, they can divide it to themselves, whoever doing this, easy millions for them.
