In a stroke of luck for local lottery enthusiasts, a single bettor won the P129-million Superlotto 6/49 jackpot, while two other winners clinched the P12.8-million Lotto 6/42 prize on Thursday night. This follows a recent string of major wins in the country’s popular lottery draws.
For the Superlotto 6/49, the winning numbers were 21-29-25-14-27-26, and the lucky winner took home a substantial P129,075,826.40. This jackpot is one of the largest prizes given in recent months and represents a significant windfall for the sole bettor who matched all six numbers in any order.
Meanwhile, two bettors shared the second-highest prize of the night. They each selected the winning combination of 05-07-37-19-12-10 in the Lotto 6/42 draw, splitting a P12,825,306.00 jackpot. Each winner is expected to receive roughly half of this amount, making it an exciting night for multiple players.
The wins come amid a streak of significant payouts from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) lottery draws. Just a day prior, a single bettor took home a staggering P118.5 million jackpot in the Grand Lotto 6/55. This follows another recent Mega Lotto 6/45 draw, where two players split the P118.96-million jackpot three days ago. The back-to-back winnings highlight a surge of high-profile lottery wins, adding to the excitement for lotto players nationwide.
Despite the success in these draws, the 6D Lotto prize of P1,260,787.16 went unclaimed on Thursday. The winning numbers, 3-5-9-6-8-4, did not match any tickets, meaning the prize will continue to accumulate until claimed in a future draw.
Winners of large prizes in the Philippines are often advised to remain anonymous and to consult financial professionals to help manage their winnings effectively. The PCSO also reminds lotto players that winnings over P10,000 are subject to a 20% tax as per Philippine tax regulations.
With several life-changing amounts awarded this week, lotto draws continue to captivate the interest of millions of hopeful Filipinos, each dreaming of being the next to secure a jackpot.
