One lucky bettor is starting a new chapter as a multimillionaire after bagging the staggering ₱386,153,104.80 jackpot prize in the Ultra Lotto 6/58 draw of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) on Thursday, August 22.
According to PCSO, the lone bettor correctly guessed the winning six-digit combination 1-34-44-27-57-16, making them the sole winner of the country’s largest lotto jackpot currently in play. With the win, the Ultra Lotto 6/58 prize will reset to ₱49.5 million in its next draw scheduled for Tuesday, August 26.
The Ultra Lotto 6/58 was last hit on April 8, when a jackpot worth ₱223,728,165.20 was claimed. More than four months later, fortune smiled again on a solo winner, this time for an even larger pot of over ₱386 million.
Other Lotto Results
While the Ultra Lotto produced a multimillionaire, the Mega Lotto 6/45 did not yield a jackpot winner on August 22. Its winning number combination — 40-33-42-6-20-17 — carried a prize of ₱17,049,877.20, which remains untouched and will roll over to the next scheduled draw.
PCSO reminds the public that lotto draws take place three times a week, depending on the game. The Ultra Lotto 6/58 is held every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday, while the Mega Lotto 6/45 takes place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Upcoming Draws
For the evening draw on Friday, August 23, lotto enthusiasts can try their luck on two other major games: the Grand Lotto 6/55 and the Lotto 6/42.
The Grand Lotto jackpot is projected to exceed ₱86 million, while the Lotto 6/42 prize is expected to grow past its last recorded jackpot of ₱45 million. The Grand Lotto is drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, while Lotto 6/42 is scheduled every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
A Life-Changing Win
PCSO has yet to reveal details about the Ultra Lotto 6/58 jackpot winner, but the lucky bettor is expected to claim their prize at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City. The newly minted multimillionaire now joins the ranks of past winners whose lives have been forever changed by the lottery.
For many hopeful players, the ₱386 million win serves as a reminder that even a single ticket can open the door to unimaginable fortune.
