MANILA – A lone bettor from Bagong Barrio, Caloocan City won the PHP10.2 million Lotto 6/42 jackpot during Tuesday night's draw.
In an advisory on Wednesday, PCSO general manager Royina Garma said the lone bettor correctly guessed the winning combination of the Regular Lotto 6/42, which was 13-17-20-05-02-26, winning the jackpot of exactly PHP10,268,421.
To claim his/her check, the bettor must go to PCSO's main office in Mandaluyong City and present the winning ticket and two ID cards.
Meanwhile, 54 bettors almost joined the lone bettor in hitting the jackpot, correctly guessing all but one of the six-digit winning combination.
Each of them will get a prize of PHP24,000.
The 6/42 regular lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Garma urged the public to patronize PCSO games to generate more funds, which will be used to assist more Filipinos.
The PCSO serves as the principal government agency for raising and providing funds for health programs, medical assistance and services, and charities of national character.
One of its key programs is the Medical Access Program, which is designed to augment the medical needs of Filipinos nationwide, particularly hospital confinement, chemotherapy, dialysis, and post-transplant medicines.
The program is funded by revenues from PCSO games nationwide. (PNA)
