A lone bettor struck gold on Wednesday, January 15, clinching the Megalotto 6/45 jackpot prize worth a staggering P8.91 million, according to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
The winning combination that changed the bettor’s life was 01-21-03-28-02-24, drawn during the evening’s lottery results.
This recent victory comes shortly after another significant win on January 10, when a solo bettor bagged over P16 million in the same lottery draw. The back-to-back jackpot wins in such a short span have stirred excitement among lottery enthusiasts nationwide.
Meanwhile, the Grand Lotto 6/55 draw on the same night did not yield a winner for its hefty jackpot of P29.7 million. The winning numbers, 20-32-21-31-13-50, went unmatched, rolling over the prize to the next draw.
The PCSO continues to encourage the public to participate in their games responsibly, as proceeds from these draws support various charitable projects, including medical assistance and calamity response.
Winners are advised to claim prizes at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City. They must bring the winning ticket and a valid ID. For jackpot prizes, winners are subject to a 20% tax deduction as the TRAIN Law mandates.
Recent jackpot wins have reignited hope among many Filipinos aspiring to turn their luck around with a single ticket. Will the next draw crown another millionaire? Only time will tell.
