A lone bettor from Laguna bagged the P9 million jackpot of Thursday night’s Lotto 6/42 draw.

In a news release on Friday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the ticket with the winning numbers 06-24-25-28-02-16 was bought in Lucky Circle Corp. in Calamba City.

The winner has one year to claim the P9,045,796.60 jackpot at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presentation of the winning ticket and two identification cards.

Meanwhile, 53 other bettors won P24,000 each for hitting five of the six winning numbers; while 1,928 will get P800 each for getting four correct digits and 24,440 will get P20 for three correct digits.

Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, lotto winnings worth more than P10,000 are subject to a 20% tax.

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.
