Filipino Man Won A Record Jackpot 1 Year Ago, This Is What Happened Next

Have you ever fantasized about hitting the jackpot and how it could change your life? It is easy to imagine how simple life would be after winning millions and being able to pay off your debts, quit your job and sail off into the sunset on your newly purchased yacht without a care in the world.

Well, if you don’t want to be filled with envy, stop reading this article! It’s about one of the luckiest – and probably the happiest – men who’ve ever lived in the Philippines.

Joking apart, Adrian Mendoza made headlines with his $250,567 jackpot win on 7BitCasino.com – the biggest in their history – back in October 2017. And what's even more astonishing, he got filthy rich just 25 minutes after opening his 7BitCasino account playing a slot game called Street Magic. Pure magic, indeed!

It’s been a year since Adrian received his winnings. The media hype has passed, so we’ve decided to get in touch with the lucky winner and ask him about what has happened next.

This is how Adrian managed to cope with unexpected wealth.

Adrian, how much has your life changed since your jackpot win? Is it fair to say that it has changed dramatically since then?

Absolutely! Now I have a million times more possibilities to do what I’ve ever wanted! I enjoy my life the way I really want to enjoy it. My life will never be the same, which is understandable because I had won so much money. Over a year has passed since I won the jackpot, but I still really can’t believe it.

There are some stories of jackpot winners who blew it all. How have you managed to spend you millions properly?

You know, nothing feels better like winning. When I won the jackpot, I felt elated, like I was floating. I was intoxicated with happiness. But very soon, I started getting sober.

I had to financially support myself, my wife, our two kids, as well as helping my dad as much as I could. I was working as a manager at a pizza restaurant back then. Money was tight, but we were okay. I've always known how to work with what I've had. Out of the blue, I became rich. And I realized that wealth is a huge responsibility. My whole family depended on my sensible decisions.

My dad – the wisest man in the world – told me that winning a jackpot can be a blessing, but it also can be a real curse. So he advised me to take the money and send them back on track reaping the benefits in the future.

Wow! Have you invested the money in something?

Not exactly. The first thing I did with my winnings was house-hunting. We had been living in the center of Manila – let’s be honest – not the safest area in the world to grow your kids. So, I decided to move to Quezon City and chose to buy a house there.

When I asked the kids what they would like in our new house, they unanimously cried, "A pool!" So I looked for a house with a pool. I found a 4-bedroom house in Loyola Grand Villas. 600 m2, 2 storeys, 4 bedrooms, 6 toilets/baths with a garden and – of course – a pool! Isn’t it a dream? On top of that, 2 spacious balconies and a garage for 2 cars.

That was the house I had always imagined myself in. Nearly 1 years after winning, I still can’t believe I’m living in such a heavenly place.

Next, I upgraded my car: I bought a used Mercedes-Benz C-class.

And the rest of the money I invested in a start-up. I launched my own small business. My dad always said that I had a green thumb. So i decided to start a plant nursery. Now I own a small farm with the staff of 10 employees. I also opened a store in Quezon City.

Adrian, you’re a man who’s made the most out of your luck. What would you advise our readers and wannabe jackpot winners?

If you want to hit the jackpot, you need to start getting yourself prepared for the new life right now. That's the thing about money: you have to prepare yourself for wealth. You have to get ready mentally for what is going to occur — at least as much as you can.
