It was last October 2014 when news broke out about a man from Batangas who supposedly won in lotto of about P12 million but cannot claim his winnings because one part of the winning ticket was accidentally burnt by her daughter.
The winning numbers that Mr. Mendoza correctly got were 09-21-31-36-40-41 but his grandchild crumpled the ticket and his daughter iron out some portions leaving only the first two numbers readable.
In the end, PCSO General Manager Ferdinand Rojas made a stand that Mr. Mendoza will have to wait one year before he might be able to get the prize.

Since PCSO has a policy of “no ticket, no payment,” Mr. Mendoza cannot claim his winnings. But Rep. Barzaga believes that since no one yet claims the prize for the ticket, it should be given to Mr. Mendoza. In fact, PCSO has also certified that the winning ticket was purchased to where Mr. Mendoza bought his.In the end, PCSO General Manager Ferdinand Rojas made a stand that Mr. Mendoza will have to wait one year before he might be able to get the prize.
