As provided in the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, lotto winnings of more than P10,000 shall be subject to a 20% tax.
Meanwhile, 85 others won P32,000 each for guessing five out of the six winning digits; 3,445 will get P1,000 each for four correct digits, and 45,295 will settle for P20 each for three digits.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

PCSO General Manager Royina Garma continuously urges the public to patronize the agency’s products so it can raise and provide funds for health programs, medical assistance and services, and charities of national character. (PNA) – bny
