A bettor from the province of Romblon bagged the PHP17.5 million jackpot in Monday night's Mega Lotto 6/45 draw.
In an advisory on Tuesday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the winning combination 36-25-19-37-07-11 carried a jackpot prize of PHP17,567,700.60.
The ticket was bought from an outlet on F. Zamora Street in the town of Odiongan, it added.
Winners have a year from the date of the draw to claim the prize, as specified in Republic Act 1169, the law on PCSO lotteries.
All jackpot prizes must be claimed at the PCSO main office on Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City. Lotto winnings of more than PHP10,000 are subject to 20 percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
Meanwhile, 40 others won PHP32,000 each for guessing five of the six winning digits; 1,549 will get PHP1,000 each for four correct digits; and 23,895 will settle for PHP30 each for three correct digits.
The 6/45 Mega Lotto is drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
PCSO general manager Melquiades Robles urged the public to support the agency’s gaming products to raise more revenues for health initiatives, medical services, and other national charities. (PNA)
