A lone bettor from Laguna province bagged the P19.6 million jackpot of Thursday night’s Lotto 6/42 draw.
The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), in a news release on Friday, said the ticket with the winning numbers 21-11-30-16-19-03 was bought in Rizal Avenue, San Pablo City.
The winner has one year to claim the P19,630,380 jackpot at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presentation of the ticket and two identification cards.
Lotto winnings over P10,000 are subject to a 20% tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
Meanwhile, 94 other bettors won P24,000 each for hitting five of the six winning numbers; while 3,281 will get P800 each for getting four correct digits and 38,991 will get P20 for three correct digits.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
The PCSO urges the public to support its gaming products to raise more revenues for health initiatives, medical services, and other national charities.
