A lone bettor from Bulacan province became P93 million richer after winning the jackpot of Thursday night’s Super Lotto 6/49 draw.
In an advisory Friday, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) general manager Melquiades Robles said the bettor guessed the winning combination 42-12-25-05-19-18, which carried a total jackpot prize of PHP93,693,905.40.
The ticket was purchased in Balagtas, Bulacan.
Also on Thursday, Robles and other PCSO officials signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Office of the Vice President (OVP) in Mandaluyong City for the transfer of P10 million in funds to support the OVP’s Medical Assistance Program.
The OVP’s Medical Assistance Program includes providing financial assistance for hospital bills, dialysis treatment, medicines, laboratory procedures, chemotherapy, brachytherapy, radiation therapy, implants, medical equipment, assistive devices, and physical/speech/occupational therapy.
Meanwhile, 104 other bettors won P50,000 each for guessing five out of the six winning digits, while 3,573 will get P1,200 each for four correct digits, and 50,066 will settle for P50 each for three correct digits.
The bettor can claim the check at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presenting the winning ticket and two identification cards.
Lotto winnings of more than P10,000 are subject to a 20 percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
Prizes not claimed within a year shall be forfeited.
The Super Lotto 6/49 is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
Robles urged the public to patronize these games to generate more funds for health programs, medical assistance, and services and charities.
