Two BingoPlus winners ease financial strain with separate jackpot prizes
Two BingoPlus players became instant millionaires after winning separate jackpot prizes, the company announced Thursday.
One player, who won in the Slots & Casino game, received a total prize of P81,700,889, while another, who won in the Jackpot & Bingo game, took home P52,000,000. The winners were interviewed at the BingoPlus studio in Quezon City.
A regular BingoPlus player who won P52 million shared that the prize would help ease her financial worries, including paying off debts and supporting her children's education.
“Try and try lang po. Kasi yung suwerte, hindi natin alam kung kailan darating,” she said. (Just keep trying. Because luck, we don’t know when it will come.)
She also spoke about how she built trust with BingoPlus, recalling an instance where customer service quickly resolved a technical issue.
“Nag-communicate agad si customer service, doon na po nabuild yung trust. Nasabi ko, legit siguro ‘to, kasi ayun, may sarili silang customer service, may aksyon yung reklamo,” she added. (Customer service immediately communicated with me, that’s when trust was built. I said, this must be legit because they have their own customer service, and they acted on the complaint.)
The other winner, who lives in Quezon City, won P81,700,889 after playing BingoPlus for a year. She said the prize would be a huge help to her family.
A former vendor, she expressed her excitement about the unexpected win and the opportunity to relax and enjoy life with her family.
“Sa BingoPlus, sa napanalunan ko, malaking tulong ito sa aming pamilya,” she said, becoming emotional. (With BingoPlus, this prize is a big help for our family.) “Sa dami-dami ng naglalaro, ako ang napili. Tapos yun pong napanalunan na yan, pag iingatan ko,” (Out of all the players, I was chosen. And I will take care of this prize.)
Both winners also participated in a session with a professional financial coach as part of BingoPlus's Pusta de Peligro campaign, which promotes responsible gaming and equips players with tools to manage their winnings and make informed decisions.
