Rolando, a seaman from Angono, Rizal, bought a Scratchit ticket on August 7, 2025, at SM Angono, a routine stop for him. He didn’t expect to win, as he didn’t know anyone who had won from these types of luck draws before. However, he won P200,000, which changed everything for him. The moment he scratched the ticket and revealed the prize, he was in stunned disbelief. He showed the ticket to the attendant, who confirmed the win. Rolando, who embodies the quiet and hardworking spirit of overseas Filipino workers, was relieved and joyful, as the prize money erased his short-term financial anxiety, particularly his children’s tuition fees. He serves as proof that instant lottery games like Scratchit are legitimate, saying “To those who doubt, I am proof that it is not a scam. The prize is real. It can happen to anyone.” He advised others to buy a ticket, saying “You should buy a ticket too, you might be the next winner.”
