BingoPlus, a Philippine digital entertainment platform operated by DigiPlus Interactive, has announced its largest jackpot to date, totaling $2.6 million (approximately 269.85 million rubles).
The award ceremony took place on November 25, 2024, at the Diamond Hotel in Manila. A 32-year-old woman from Bukidnon, who won the jackpot, received a symbolic check during the event, which was attended by media representatives and BingoPlus executives.
To help the winner manage her prize responsibly, DigiPlus Interactive organized a private financial coaching session on the same day, led by financial expert Armand Bengco. This initiative, arranged by the BingoPlus Foundation, aligns with the platform's commitment to providing financial guidance to its winners.
