And there you go ladies and gentlemen! After weeks of clenched fists, hours of queuing and intense praying to the heavens above, the country's highest ever grand lotto jackpot goes to a lone very very (more than) very lucky winner!

P741,176,323.20 to be exact, thank you very much.

Yep, even politicians, highest paid celebrities in the country have admitted to buying lotto tickets. This has gone down on the record books. Much ado had been said about putting a cap on the amount. Some politicians have proposed to give it charity if no one wins in the next few days. Guess no one wants to do that as those proposals fell on deaf ears.

And so last night, someone went to bed a multi-millionaire. That, if he/she was actually able to sleep a wink. I know I wouldn't have if it were me. Oh, wait, I probably would have. In fact, I believe I'd still be sleeping cozily hugging my family in the warm/cold sheets at the Presidential Suite at Mactan Shangrila. HAHAHAHAHA

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU MR OR MISS LONE WINNER!

You did it. 1 to 29 millionth odds. You did it.

Ok ok, so he plays cool guitars. His songs...hmmm, touching. And rumors have it that he has some bit of issues in that music guitar genius. So ok, ok, understatement of the year. John Mayer held a concert in Manila last week. Heard from the grape vine he wasn't at all the Mr. Congeniality...not that we ever thought he is. More like Mr. Destroyer!!!
He wasn't at all nice to hotel staff and such. And worse, he reported trashed the Presidential Suite at the Edsa Shangrila hotel. One of the swankiest place in the country. WHY? Furnitures and fixtures were destroyed. The suite had to be temporarily closed for repairs. Well, I'm no medical experts but in my book, people who do that, rockstars or not...have some screws loosened in the head.
Total bill? (drum roll please...)...
USD8OOO!!!
There goes the profit...
Yes, folks, Php3OO,OOO!
I've never been in the Presidential Suite but I picture it to be like this one:
