PCSO General Manager Royina Marzan-Garma said the lucky bettor guessed the winning combination 47-04-02-31-29-07 with a jackpot of exactly P15.84 million.

She congratulated the new millionaire, saying Christmas will surely be merry for him/her.

The PCSO General Manager has yet to disclose where the lucky ticket was purchased.

To claim his/her cheque, the bettor must go to PCSO's main office in Mandaluyong City, and present two IDs. Also, he/she should bring the winning ticket.

Garma urged the public to keep on patronizing the products of PCSO as a large chunk of its revenue goes to charity programs.

The 6/49 Super Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
