Last-minute bettor one of two winners of P15.8-million jackpot


A bettor in Caloocan City who asked her husband to rush to the nearest lotto outlet to buy a ticket before it closed was one of two winners of the Super Lotto 6/49 jackpot on June 11.

According to a post on the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office's Facebook page, the other winner of the jackpot was a Makati City bettor who already won several second prizes in the lotto.

The two Super Lotto 6/49 winners on June 11 split the jackpot prize of P15,840,000 with the combination 18-29-21-48-10-08.

"Sabi ko sa asawa ko na kahit anung numero na lang basta ihabol mo. Tapos tumama pa pala kami ng jackpot,” the winner from Caloocan said.

(I told my husband to bet choose any combination as long as we can have a ticket. It turns out we hit the jackpot.)

"Lagi ko sinasabi sa mga treasurer ng PCSO na babalik ako one day, yung jackpot naman ang aking babalikan. Nagkatotoo nga!” the winner from Makati said.

(I always told the treasurers of PCSO that I would return one day with the jackpot as my prize. And it came true.)

PCSO general manafer Mel Robles gave the checks to the jackpot winners on June 14 at the PCSO main office.

The agency guarantees confidentiality for the safety and security of all winners.

There were no jackpot winners for the Lotto 6/42 and Super Lotto 6/49 draws on Thursday.

The combination 14-38-36-10-02-13 would have won for a Lotto 6/42 bettor P6,389,050.

The combination 08-45-30-15-27-44 would have won for a Super Lotto 6/49 bettor P53,596,216.20.
