The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced on Friday, Nov. 15, that three lucky bettors won millions following last night’s lotto draws.
PCSO revealed that a solo bettor bagged the P129-million Superlotto 6/49 jackpot prize, while two winners will split the P12-million jackpot prize for Lotto 6/42 during the 9 p.m. draw on Nov. 14.
In a Facebook post, PCSO said the Superlotto-winning ticket was bought from an outlet in Ormoc City, Leyte. Meanwhile, the two winners of Lotto 6/42 came from outlets in Mexico, Pampanga, and San Mateo, Rizal.
According to the summary of winners, the winning combination for Superlotto 6/49 was 21 - 29 - 25 - 14 - 27 - 26. One winner won the total jackpot prize of P129,075,826.40.
The winning combination for Lotto 6/42 was 05 - 07 - 37 - 19 - 12 - 10. Two winners will share the total jackpot prize of P12,825,306.
A 20 percent tax will automatically be deducted from the jackpot prize under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law.
PCSO reminded winners that, under its charter, winnings must be claimed within one year from the date of the draw. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture, with the prize forming part of the PCSO Charity Fund.
Additionally, PCSO urged winners to secure their tickets and write their names and signatures on the back. The ticket must not be wrinkled, folded, or have any tears.
The barcode must remain intact, as it is a crucial component for ticket validation. The lotto terminal should be able to scan the barcode, PCSO added.
