PCSO said because the jackpot prize exceeded P10,000, it would be subject to a 20 percent tax deduction under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion or TRAIN Law.

If the jackpot prize remains unclaimed one year after the draw date, it will be forfeited and will go to the PCSO Charity Fund, as stated under Republic Act 1169 or the PCSO Charter.

Moreover, PCSO estimated the jackpot prize for the Grand Lotto 6/55 draw on Feb. 28 at P88 million.

It reached the said amount after no player correctly guessed the Grand Lotto winning digit combination of 22-18-35-39-48-08 in the Feb. 26 draw.
PCSO will also hold the draw for the Mega Lotto, which has a jackpot of P8.9 million.
Digit games 4D, 3D, and 2D Lotto will be drawn alongside the major draws at 9 p.m.
