A bettor from the province of Bohol became an instant millionaire after hitting the P18.6-million jackpot of the Lotto 6/42 draw on Thursday night.

The winning combination of 27-10-36-09-22-07 carried a total jackpot prize of P18,611,973.40, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said in an advisory Friday.

The lone bettor from Bohol’s San Miguel town can claim the check at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong upon presentation of the winning ticket and two identification cards.

Lotto winnings of more than P10,000 shall be subject to a 20% tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.

Prizes not claimed within a year will be forfeited.

Meanwhile, 52 others won P24,000 each for guessing five out of the six winning digits; 2,474 bettors will get P800 each for four correct digits; and 36,275 will settle for P20 each for three correct digits.

The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

PCSO urges the public to patronize their games as a large chunk of revenues goes to charity programs. – gb
