A lone player from Misamis Oriental became an instant millionaire after winning the P8.24 million jackpot of the Lotto 6/42 on Saturday (Nov. 6) night.
In an advisory on Sunday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the lucky player guessed the winning combination of 24-27-29-08-22-04 with a jackpot of P8,244,527. The ticket was purchased in Cagayan De Oro City, Misamis Oriental.
To claim the check, the bettor must proceed to PCSO’s main office in Mandaluyong City and present the winning ticket and two ID cards.
Sixty other players who guessed five out of the six two-digit winning combinations won P24,000 each, the PCSO said.
About 2,015 players got P800 each for getting four of the winning combinations, while 25,356 players won P20 each for guessing three correct combinations.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
This is the second time this month that a lone player bagged the jackpot prize of the state lottery’s games.
During the draw on Thursday (Nov. 4), a sole player from San Carlos City, Pangasinan bagged the P125 million jackpot prize of the Super Lotto 6/49.
PCSO General Manager Royina Garma urged the public to keep on patronizing PCSO products as a large chunk of its revenue goes to charity programs.
The PCSO serves as the principal government agency for raising and providing funds for health programs, medical assistance and services, and charities of national character. (PNA) – jlo
