Two lucky lotto players from Batangas and Bulacan became instant millionaires after winning the ₱5.94 million jackpot in the 6/42 Regular Lotto draw held on Saturday night, according to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
The winning bettors — one from San Juan City, Batangas, and the other from Sta. Maria, Bulacan — successfully matched the six-digit winning combination 20-08-10-01-04-24, securing the multimillion-peso prize. The winning tickets were purchased from lotto outlets located in Barangay Poblacion in San Juan, Batangas, and Barangay San Jose Patag in Sta. Maria, Bulacan, PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles confirmed.
Aside from the two jackpot winners, Robles also announced that 120 other players won ₱24,000 each for correctly guessing five out of the six numbers, a strong showing that reflects the high interest and participation in the popular lotto game.
The 6/42 Regular Lotto remains one of PCSO’s most played lottery games, offering players the chance to win life-changing prizes for a minimal ticket cost. Draws are held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, making it a regular fixture for millions of hopeful bettors across the country.
PCSO reminded all winners to secure their tickets and follow proper claiming procedures. Jackpot prizes must be claimed at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City, while smaller prizes may be redeemed at authorized PCSO branches nationwide. Winners are required to present two valid government-issued IDs and the signed winning ticket for verification.
Robles also encouraged the public to play responsibly, emphasizing that lottery games are intended for entertainment while helping fund government programs. Proceeds from PCSO lottery sales support medical assistance, health programs, and various charitable initiatives for Filipinos in need.
For residents of San Juan and Sta. Maria, the win has already sparked excitement in their communities, inspiring many locals to try their luck in future draws. With each new combination, the dream of becoming the next lotto millionaire continues to capture the imagination of players nationwide.
As the next 6/42 draw approaches, PCSO anticipates another surge of participants eager for their chance at fortune — proof that in the world of lotto, any ticket could be the winning one.
