The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) on Wednesday, Feb. 7 said the winning ticket for the P7.3 million Lotto 6/42 was purchased at a lotto outlet in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.

Only one bettor correctly guessed the winning number combination in the Feb. 6 draw, which was 27-23-31-20-14-28.

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.
The 6/42 draw is held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
