Over P60 million was recently claimed by a female bettor from Baguio City who saw the winning Mega Lotto 6/45 combination in her dream, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) disclosed on Sunday, April 10.
After seeing those numbers in her dream, she never forgot about them and made them her “pet numbers.”
The bettor won a total of P62,756,225.80 jackpot during the Feb. 18 draw of Mega Lotto 6/45. The winning combination was 31-30-06-04-29-16.
She told PCSO that she has been an avid lotto player for more than 18 years already.
After claiming her winnings at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City, she said she will purchase a small property and will help others using the money she has won.
Nearly P13 million or a total of P12,551,245.20 was automatically deducted from the jackpot prize due to the 20 percent tax imposed by the TRAIN Law.
Therefore, the lucky winner has brought home P50,204,980.60. PCSO said it was claimed on March 15.
PCSO General Manager Royina Marzan-Garma has urged the public to keep on patronizing their products as a huge chunk of its profit goes to the charity works of the government.
