The winners also '' revealed '' their winning tickets in a Facebook post by PCSO.

"Nagpapasalamat po ako sa PCSO na marami kaming nabibiyayaan ng Jackpot Prize (I am thankful to PCSO because many of us got the jackpot prize), '' said one of the anonymous winners in an interview with PCSO.

''Nagbiyahe po ako ng sampung oras upang makarating dito at makuha ang aking napanalunan. Tumataya po talaga ako ng pattern 9, pattern 8, pattern 7 at pattern 6 sa loob ng maraming taon at ako'y nagpapasalamat na ngayon ay napanalunan ko na (I traveled for 10 hours just to get here and claim my winnings. I have been betting on patterns 9, 8, 7, and 6 for many years and I am grateful that I was able to hit it now), '' he added.

On Saturday, Oct. 1, PCSO announced that 433 bettors hit the whopping Grand Lotto jackpot worth P236,091,188.40.

He also said that there were players who were betting on specific numbers for years while some believe in the '' luck '' of number nine.

Robles assured the public that PCSO always adheres to high standards of ''transparency and fairness.''

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino '' Koko '' Pimentel III sought an investigation regarding the '' suspicious '' number of Grand Lotto winners.

PCSO said that it ''welcomes any form of investigation.''
