No winner of P500-M Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot, PCSO says

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) revealed that no one won the P500-million jackpot prize on Saturday for the Grand Lotto 6/55.

The December 16 draw's winning combination is 25-20-24-28-06-09, according to the PCSO website.

There were also no winners for the Lotto 6/42 and 6D Lotto draws held on Saturday.

The winning combination for Lotto 6/42 is 38-42-14-34-27-31.

Meanwhile, 6D Lotto's winning combination is 7-8-9-7-6-5.

The PCSO recently started the pilot test of e-lotto, the digital version of the lottery games.

PCSO also raised the minimum jackpot prizes in the Ultra Lotto 6/58 and Grand Lotto 6/58 to P500 million each for the December 16 draws, or a combined P1 billion, in line with the agency's "Handog Pakabog" Christmas draws.

E-Lotto is a digital lottery platform targeted to make betting convenient and accessible for Filipinos. It is currently available on their website but the PCSO said it is eyeing to launch a mobile application version “soon”.

The PCSO said it is expecting its projected sales to increase to up to P70 billion next year with the release of the e-lotto.

Those who want to register must be 18 years old and above. They also need a government-issued ID and a local mobile number to register.

Bettors may also use e-wallets such as Gcash to top-up credits for the digital lotto system. They may also receive prizes electronically. —KG, GMA Integrated News
