A lone bettor from Pasay City bagged the PP71 million Super Lotto 6/49 jackpot Tuesday evening.
The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the lucky bettor guessed the winning combination of 44-05-17-48-13-43 with a jackpot of P71,360,581.
The bettor, who purchased the lucky ticket in Pasay City, can claim his/her cheque at PCSO’s main office in Mandaluyong City and present the winning ticket and two identification cards.
As provided under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, lotto winnings of more than PHP10,000 shall be subject to a 20-percent tax.
The PCSO said 11 other bettors guessed five out of the six two-digit winning combinations and won P50,000 each.
Some 562 bettors got P1,200 each for getting four of the winning combinations while 11,795 bettors won PHP50 each for guessing three right combinations.
The 6/49 Super Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
This is the second time this month wherein a sole bettor bagged the jackpot prize of the state lottery games.
Another lone bettor from Pangasinan won the P51 million jackpot of the Lotto 6/42 draw last May 3.
PCSO General Manager Royina Garma urged the public to patronize PCSO games to generate more funds for health programs, medical assistance and services, and charities.
