Pinay maid denies stealing winning lottery ticket

MANILA - A Filipina maid in Singapore became an instant millionaire after winning SGD2.3 million (approximately P75.5 million) from a lottery in June.
The Straits Times reported that the OFW had sent some of her winnings to her two children back in the Philippines.
What the OFW did not expect is to be accused of stealing the ticket from someone else.
Last month, the report said the police had been in touch with her because someone had filed a complaint that the winning ticket had been stolen.
The OFW, who has been working as a maid for the same employer for 14 years, told the Straits Times that she bought the Singapore Sweep ticket from a Tampines outlet in June.
Although police did not tell her who filed a complaint against her, the Pinay still cooperated with them by giving her bank account details and even took them to the outlet where she bought the ticket.
Unfortunately, the security video that would have proved that she bought the ticket there had been erased.
Police confirmed to the Straits Times that there is an ongoing investigation into the complaint.
