A factory worker from Mandaluyong City has won a record-breaking jackpot of over PHP935 million ($16.33 million) through BingoPlus’ online platform, marking the largest prize in Philippine gaming history.
According to a statement from BingoPlus, the 28-year-old father secured the prize through the platform’s “Lucky Spin” feature. The in-app rewards system allows players to use points accumulated from gameplay for a chance to win prizes. The winner, who had just completed a round of Baccarat on his day off, used his earned points to spin the Lucky Spin wheel, resulting in a win of PHP935.26 million ($16.33 million).
Initially thinking the amount displayed was an error, he said he kept refreshing the app before receiving a confirmation call from BingoPlus. The company noted that the win highlights the platform’s integration of rewards mechanics designed to enhance user engagement based on real gameplay activity.
The winner lives with his wife, daughter, and parents, and said the windfall comes at a critical time, easing financial pressures related to daily expenses and his child’s education. He plans to use the funds to purchase a home, ensure his daughter’s schooling, and donate to an orphanage he visited in his youth.
Despite the scale of the win, the player emphasized his commitment to responsible gaming. He credited BingoPlus for providing tools that support healthy gaming habits, such as time and spending controls, which he said he regularly used.
BingoPlus operates under a Philippine gaming license and offers a range of digital and live games. The platform continues to promote responsible play and highlights transparency and player protection as core elements of its service.
