Two bettors from Pampanga province and Metro Manila will split the P53-million jackpot of Tuesday night’s Super Lotto 6/49 draw.
In an advisory on Wednesday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the winners from Angeles City, Pampanga and Brgy. BF Homes, Parañaque City correctly guessed the winning combination of 28-22-04-09-26-19.
The winners have a year to claim their share of the P53,531,785.80 jackpot at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presentation of the winning ticket and two identification cards.
Meanwhile, 79 others won P50,000 each for guessing five of the six winning digits; 2,434 will get P1,200 each for four correct digits; and 31,508 will settle for P50 each for three correct digits.
Lotto winnings of more than P10,000 will be subjected to 20% tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law.
The Super Lotto 6/49 is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
PCSO general manager Melquiades Robles urged the public to support the agency’s gaming products to raise additional revenue for health initiatives, medical services, and other national charities.
Through its mandatory contributions, the PCSO not only helps people in need of medical assistance but also provides funds to government institutions.
