A lucky bettor from Laguna province is the country’s newest millionaire after bagging the solo jackpot prize of P70 million during Saturday night's Lotto 6/42 draw.
The bettor who bought the ticket at a Cabuyao lotto outlet, correctly guessed the winning combination 40-11-25-07-27-30 which carried a jackpot prize of PHP70,440,258.20, according to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said in an advisory on Sunday.
The bettor can claim the check at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presentation of the winning ticket and two identification cards. The bettor has one year to claim the prize.
Lotto winnings of more than PHP10,000 are subject to a 20 percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
Meanwhile, 82 others won PHP24,000 each for guessing five of the six winning digits; 3,607 will get PHP800 each for four correct digits; and 49,146 will settle for PHP20 each for three correct digits.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The PCSO urges the public to patronize the games as most revenues go to the government’s charity programs.
