MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court (SC) has ordered the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) to give the more than P12 million prize to a man whose jackpot winning ticket was damaged by a flat iron. In a 17-page decision, the SC's second division, through Associate Justice Jhosep Lopez, denied the petition for review filed by PCSO, which seeks to reverse the Court of Appeals decision. The Court of Appeals' ruling affirmed the Batangas Regional Trial Court's decision favoring the lotto jackpot winner.
