A lone player got an early Christmas gift by becoming an instant millionaire after winning the P125 million jackpot prize in Thursday (Nov. 4) night’s draw of the Super Lotto 6/49, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said Friday.
In an advisory, the agency said the player guessed the winning combination 05-03-10-17-43-49 with a jackpot of P125,692,139.20. The ticket was purchased in San Carlos City, Pangasinan.
Fifteen other players who guessed five correct numbers won second prize of P50,000 each, 1,567 players got P1,200 each for picking four numbers, and 32,494 won P50 each for correctly guessing three digits.
To claim the jackpot prize, the player must go to PCSO’s main office in Mandaluyong City, present two IDs, and bring the winning ticket.
The 6/49 Super Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
PCSO General Manager Royina Garma urged the public to keep on patronizing the products of PCSO as a large chunk of its revenue goes to charity programs.
The PCSO is the principal government agency for raising and providing funds for health programs, medical assistance and services, and charities of a national character. (PNA) – jlo
