A 28-year-old factory employee from Mandaluyong City has made history by winning a staggering P935 million through BingoPlus’ online gaming platform — the biggest jackpot ever recorded in the Philippines.
In a statement, BingoPlus said the life-changing prize was won via the app’s “Lucky Spin” feature, instantly turning the young family man into a multimillionaire overnight.
The lucky winner, a father of one, won a total jackpot of P935,262,012.34 — through Lucky Spin — a rewards feature that gives players free chances to win massive prizes based on their in-game activity.
He had just finished a round of Baccarat — his favorite game — and decided to use his accumulated points for a spin during his day off.
“I saw the number — P935 million. I kept refreshing the screen,” he recalled. “I thought it was a glitch. Then BingoPlus called — that’s when it became real,” he added.
Jackpot win changes life overnight
The life-changing win could not have come at a better time for the young family man, who lives with his wife, daughter, and parents.
Like many working Filipinos, he turned to online games to unwind after long shifts — never imagining it would lead to financial freedom.
“We were okay, but it was always tight,” he said, noting that daily expenses and tuition costs kept piling up. “This win gives us the chance to start fresh,” he added.
With nearly a billion pesos in hand, his top priorities are buying a home, securing his daughter’s education, and giving back to an orphanage he visited as a child.
A responsible gamer’s lucky break
Even after his historic win, the new multimillionaire remains committed to responsible gaming — a practice actively promoted by BingoPlus.
“I’ve always played with set limits,” he said. “That’s something BingoPlus helps you stick to — time limits, spending controls, everything. It keeps the fun in it,” he added.
BingoPlus has earned a reputation as one of the country’s most trusted online gaming platforms by emphasizing transparency and player welfare.
Its Lucky Spin feature is based on real user activity, offering reward opportunities without encouraging overspending.
Grounded goals, grateful heart
Despite his newfound wealth, the winner said he intends to stay grounded and use his winnings to build a better, more secure future.
“We’ve always been grateful, even before this. Now we just want to live peacefully — and give our daughter the future she deserves,” he said. “Miracles can happen — anytime, anywhere. Even when you’re just playing to unwind,” he added.
BingoPlus is a licensed digital entertainment platform in the Philippines, offering a wide array of games, including Baccarat, Lucky Spin, and other live and digital formats.
The platform is committed to responsible gaming and provides players with tools to manage their time and spending, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
