As announced by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) on Tuesday, Jan. 9, the winning tickets were bought in Sto. Rosario St. Palm Drive, Buhangin, Davao City and Lianas Mutya ng Pasig Mall, Pasig City.
During the Mega Lotto 6/45 draw on Jan. 8, the two bettors correctly guessed the winning numbers 09 - 07 - 29 - 28 - 11 - 18.
The total jackpot amount won was P121,816,502.40. The jackpot prize per share amounted to P60,908,251.20 for each winner.
