MANILA – A lone bettor from Laguna province bagged the PHP70 million jackpot during Saturday night's Lotto 6/42 draw.
The winning combination 40-11-25-07-27-30 carried a jackpot prize of PHP70,440,258.20, hit by a bettor who bought a ticket in Cabuyao City, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said in an advisory on Sunday.
The check can be claimed at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presentation of the winning ticket and two identification cards. The bettor has one year to claim the prize.
Lotto winnings of more than PHP10,000 are subject to a 20 percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
Meanwhile, 82 others won PHP24,000 each for guessing five of the six winning digits; 3,607 will get PHP800 each for four correct digits; and 49,146 will settle for PHP20 each for three correct digits.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The PCSO urges the public to patronize the games as most revenues go to the government’s charity programs. (PNA)
