The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced that a single lucky bettor had won the P118.5 million jackpot prize in Wednesday’s Grand Lotto 6/55 draw. The winning combination for the award of P118,502,380 was 27-01-16-11-50-03, a sequence that earned one fortunate player the entire jackpot amount.
The Grand Lotto 6/55 is one of the most anticipated lottery draws in the Philippines, attracting many participants due to its potentially life-changing prizes. Players nationwide awaited the results eagerly, hoping to take home the massive sum. With a single winner emerging in this draw, many now speculate about the lucky bettor’s identity and the plans they may have for their newfound wealth.
In contrast, the Mega Lotto 6/45 draw, which took place on the same day, saw no one correctly guessing the winning number combination of 19-29-14-33-44-09. The Mega Lotto jackpot had reached P8,910,000, and with no winner, the prize will roll over to the next draw, allowing it to grow further. This increases excitement among regular players who look forward to potentially higher winnings as the jackpot accumulates.
The PCSO reminded the public that the Grand Lotto winner has a year from the date of the draw to claim their prize. To claim the winnings, the winner must present the original ticket, along with two valid identification cards, at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City. The PCSO encourages winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a safe place before presenting them for verification.
In its advisory, the PCSO reiterated the importance of responsible gaming. It reminded players to participate in the lottery for fun and entertainment and only with expendable funds, avoiding excessive spending. Proceeds from the PCSO’s lottery games, including the Grand Lotto and Mega Lotto, fund various social welfare programs, medical assistance, and health services for indigent Filipinos, making every ticket purchase beneficial to society.
As lottery fever continues, more Filipinos are expected to participate in future draws, hoping to win big. With the Mega Lotto 6/45 jackpot still unclaimed, excitement is high as players look forward to potentially being the next big winner.
