Laguna bettor wins P70M lotto jackpot
THE Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said a lone bettor from Laguna bagged the P70 million jackpot during Saturday night’s Lotto 6/42 draw.
The winning combination 40-11-25-07-27-30 with a total jackpot prize of P70,440,258.20, hit by a bettor who bought a ticket in Cabuyao City.
Meanwhile, 82 others won P24,000 each for guessing five of the six winning digits; 3,607 will get P800 each for four correct digits; and 49,146 will settle for P20 each for three correct digits.
The check can be claimed at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presentation of the winning ticket and two identification cards. The bettor has one year to claim the prize.
Lotto winnings of more than P10,000 are subject to a 20 percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The PCSO urged the public to patronize the games as most revenues go to the government’s charity programs.
