An individual who bought a ticket in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija province won the P366-million jackpot of the Ultra Lotto 6/58 draw Friday night.
The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office said in an advisory Saturday the ticket with the winning combination of 43-58-37-47-27-17 was purchased in Barangay San Roque, Cabiao. It won an exact prize of P366,687,465.20.
The winner will take home about P293 million from the total prize as lottery winnings exceeding P10,000 are subject to a 20-percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law. This means the winner will pay about P73.33 million in taxes to the government.
The winner has one year from the date of the draw to claim the prize from the PCSO main office along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City.
Winners are advised to write their names and signature on the back of the winning tickets and present two government-issued identification cards or documents.
The PCSO said 92 other bettors won P120,000 each for guessing five of the six winning digits, and another 3,793 ticket holders will get P2,000 each for four correct digits. About 44,780 will settle for P100 each for three correct digits.
The Ultra Lotto 6/58 is drawn every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
The PCSO advised the public to patronize its games to generate more funds for health programs, medical assistance and services and charities.
Meanwhile, there was no winner of the jackpot in the Mega Lotto 6/45 draw.
Records show that the largest jackpot prize for any Ultra Lotto 6/58 draw was P1.18 billion which two individual ticket holders won on Oct. 14, 2018.
