PCSO: Lotto bettor wins P68.758M in Mega Lotto draw

A lotto bettor is now nearly P70 million richer after winning the jackpot of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office's Megalotto 6/45 draw Friday night.

The PCSO said the bettor got the combination of 38-28-11-12-40-19 to win the night's jackpot worth P68,758,280.

But as in the past, the PCSO is not likely to name the winner for security reasons.

Last Nov. 4, a lone lotto bettor won the Superlotto 6/49 draw with the combination of 21-43-11-3-29-47 to bag P16 million.

Last Oct. 30, a lotto bettor got the combination of 13-11-49-05-42-02 to win the night's Superlotto 6/49 jackpot worth P46,577,516.

On Oct. 6, a lone lotto bettor won the Mega Lotto 6/45 draw, getting the combination of 45-24-13-16-29-05 to win the night's jackpot worth P98,652,196.

Last Oct. 5, a lotto bettor bagged the jackpot in the Super Lotto 6/49 draw by getting the combination of 43-48-06-11-13-29 to win P90,126,700.

Last Sept. 27, a bettor won the Grand Lotto jackpot of P294,602,336 after getting the combination of 08-42-35-11-17-22.

On April 7, a lone bettor hit the jackpot of the PCSO's Grand Lotto, getting the combination of 39-21-42-28-05-27 to win P249,841,572.

But the biggest lotto prize in recent history was in November 2010, when a lone bettor won some P741.176 million for getting the winning combination 11-16-42-47-31-37. — Joel Locsin/JDS, GMA News
